I do not envy mothers who post their experiences online just to be judged for every move they make. I know I am part of this problem (don’t shoot the messenger), but I am constantly amazed at how many moms get eviscerated online for doing totally innocuous things I would never bat an eye at. …

The Wildest Parenting Posts of the Week (April 15, 2024)
I’m kind of obsessed with the intersection of moms who are super trad and moms who post their family’s entire life on social media for all to see. If you want to live on a homestead, homeschool your children, and make sure that they never eat any Red Dye 40 for as long as they …

I learn so many new things about parenting by looking at parenting fails. While some aspects of parenting are intuitive, there are about a million things that you need to learn about child-rearing before you actually have a baby. For instance, I was completely ignorant about bed-sharing and safe sleep until I started willingly exposing …

Boneheaded dude claims all women look bad in baggy jeans, uses cousin as an example: ‘And tagged them in the post’
There’s nothing women love more than random men on the internet telling them they disapprove of what they’re doing. Especially what they’re wearing. It’s a long-held truth that the unprompted opinions of loser-y guys on Facebook dictate trends in women’s fashion. It’s how Coco Chanel invented the little black dress. Some guy wrote a column …

‘We think our baby is a genius’: Moms share the Mommy Facebook Group posts that live in their heads rent free
Mommy Facebook Groups aren’t easy to forget. If you’ve lived in any community with a high concentration of families over the past ten years, you’ve probably been a part of one or at least seen some of the nonsense that they produce on social media. In my hometown, our Mom Facebook Group was legendary as …

Boy moms are such an interesting group. I’m not talking about normal mothers who happen to have only given birth to members of the male gender; I’m more referring to moms who wrap up a large part of their identity in being the mother of a boy, which is just so different than mothering girls. …

‘Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides goes hard’: Mom shares the craziest baby names from her pregnancy Facebook group
It is a truth universally acknowledged that many weird baby names are circulating right now. I know that it can be old hat to make fun of baby names that are spelled strangely or are just nouns, but I can’t help it. I genuinely do not see the point of naming your kid something absurdly …

There is this weird parenting trend that I’ve been so baffled by when I’ve seen it on TikTok. I’m sure you’ve heard of parents deciding to never say «no» to their children but rather redirecting them towards the results that they (the parents) want. For example, when your child says, «Can I stick this fork …

So many parents spill their entire life stories on Mommy Facebook Groups, and I can’t understand it for the life of me. Once, in my local community, an anonymous poster asked about a man her 24-year-old daughter was dating. She described and identified basically everything about this man: he was in his early 40s, a …

On some levels, I understand the appeal of a Mom Facebook group. It’s a good way to find community when you’re moving to a new city and want to connect with local parents. When you’re a first-time mom, it can feel better to get advice from those who understand what you’re going through instead of …
