‘This is wild behavior’: Overbearing grandmother trash talks 20-year-old daughter-in-law in front of her 2-year old, faces backlash
It’s important to have intergenerational input in your household. We can learn from our elders, and if we’re lucky enough to have them around, we should.

Just because you’re working from home, doesn’t mean you’re around for whatever, especially taking care of a child that isn’t yours.

Father of 2-month-old newborn refuses to cancel week-long ‘bros trip’ despite anxious wife’s wishes: ‘I really need him by my side’
The drama doesn’t stop when you give birth to a child… it starts. There’s an old adage that women start to feel like mothers when they get pregnant, but men don’t start to feel like fathers until the baby is born, and maybe even a little bit after. This can set up the first few …

If the show Gilmore Girls taught us anything, it’s that parents who have their kids while they’re very young tend to have different relationships with their kids.
