Every child deserves to be treated equally. We call come out innocent. It’s nobody’s fault that they were born. Unfortunately, though, some adults make them feel like it was. Life gets complicated as you get older, and sometimes you end up with a family that you didn’t expect. That doesn’t change the fact that they’re …

Remember summers when you were a kid in the 1990s? Behind the brainrot doom-scrolling fog, there are memories of summers spent outdoors.

Man secretly DNA tests brother’s child and accidentally exposes a family secret: ‘I bought a DNA test kit and swabbed Leo while I was babysitting’
DNA testing is an incredibly useful technology. It gives us the power to be more informed about our medical history, our genetic makeup, and where we come from. It’s something that we didn’t have access to 100 years ago, but we do now. So like any new(ish) technology, we’re still figuring out how to use …

29-year-old mom complains that she’s a ‘single parent’ despite having a husband who works 10-12 hour days: ‘I get that she’s overwhelmed, I am too’
Parenting is a team sport, not an individual one. Even if you are a single parent, odds are you need some outside input. Whether it’s a family member, a neighbor, teachers, coaches, or babysitters… you’re never doing it 100% alone. That would be impossible. So it’s even better when you can share the load with …

It’s hard to sit by and watch somebody else’s bad parenting. Everyone is entitled to their own parenting styles, but that doesn’t mean you have to like it. But it can be incredibly difficult to just be passive while someone else is wrecking their child’s future. It’s even harder when your own child is mixed …

Nobody likes it when someone plays favorites. You can usually tell pretty easily who is more in the glow of affection, and if it’s not you it can feel pretty bad. This is true of teachers, friends, and especially family members. In a large family full of kids, some of them are bound to get …
