Parents don’t congratulate 15-year-old daughter on making the national debate team finals, praises her older brother for doing his PE assignment instead: ‘He did a compulsory assignment and he gets all the praise in the world’
Every kid is different, and parents should know this better than everybody. That’s why it gets tricky when praising one child for something you wouldn’t praise the other for.

‘Giving up hobbies that bring joy is pitched as a mark of successful adulthood’: 30 year-olds and up defend keeping up their leisure activities
Most experts on life (aka psychiatrists, philosophers, life coaches) will tell you that having a hobby is key. You need an outlet that doesn’t have anything to do with your way of making money. Having something to do just for the sake of doing it, and because you enjoy it, is one of the tenants …

Sanctimonious mom lashes out at parents that put their kids in daycare: ‘Families literally paying random people to enjoy the best years of their kid’s life’
Looking in from the outside, I’ve got to say one of the least fun parts of being a parent seems to be the guilt. It seems like involved moms and dads are forever wondering if the choices they make for their kids are the right ones, and they don’t always get a clear answer. They …
