Happy April Fools Day, parents and non-parents alike! I’ve got to say, I feel like April Fools Day is an underrated holiday that’s way more fun when you have kids. Some kids might be on high alert all day, making sure that they don’t get pranked. For others, it’s extremely easy to tell them that …

‘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 …

Wildest Posts From the Depths of Facebook (March 8, 2024)
I feel like one of the things that ages me most is that I remember a time when Facebook was cool. Like, people other than your elderly relatives and your former classmate who is part of an MLM used to post on there on a regular basis. The highs, the lows, the house parties that …

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 …

We should all know less about each other. This mantra has popped up on Twitter recently, often in response to people sharing graphic personal details online that nobody asked for.

I understand the impulse to complain about your kids. In fact, I think it’s a necessary thing to do when you’re an overwhelmed parent whose frustrations are falling on deaf ears. However, I think there’s a time and a place to do so. Talking to a therapist about your kids? That’s an A+ venue. Confiding …
