I wish there were more representation in mom groups for normal moms. It always seems like mom posters are at one of two extremes. They either only feed their children organic beets and radishes from non-fertilized soil and refuse to protect them from the most devastating childhood diseases, or they think that a pack of …

The Most Entertaining Parenting Posts of the Week (November 25, 2024)
There is a specific kind of language that is popular in mommy Facebook groups that totally irks me. Maybe this is just the way that young moms talk these days, but it seems like every post includes the phrase «Hey mamas,» «Mamas, I need some advice,» or «This hurts my mama heart.» I understand that …

Dad allows his 7-year-old daughter to stay up all night after she constantly resisted her 10 PM bedtime, cries from exhaustion during her after school activities: ‘My wife questioned my parenting technique’
Sleep hygiene is developed extremely early in life. My parents insisted that I go to bed by 8 PM until I was in 4th grade. I remember thinking how absurd it was because everyone else in my class stayed up until at least 9 PM on school nights. I might have complained about it then, …

There’s something so powerful about being able to post anonymously. Stan Twitter has it all figured out; freely posting your most insane feelings about the person you’re obsessed with without anybody knowing who you really are. Tumblr has also got a flawless system. You can ask inane questions to your favorite posters without revealing that …

We’re entering one of the most prolific times of the year for mommy Facebook group posting. You might think that August and September are the most chaotic months for clueless parents asking their local community, «When is the first day of school?» instead of checking their emails or googling it, but I’d disagree. Back to …

One of my favorite Mommy Facebook Groupisms is that food dye causes major personality changes in their kids. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not in the pockets of Big Red Dye or Big Blue Dye, and I’m sure it is super unhealthy. But when I see posts that say, «My child acts completely different after …

Mom allows 5-year-old daughter to dress herself for kindergarten, grandma is horrified at the clashing patterns of her outfits: ‘She thinks kids will start to think my child is the weird one’
Kids are very opinionated about how they dress. When my little sister was in preschool, she wore the same rainbow dress nearly every single day. There was nothing you could say to her to get her to change when she had her heart set on that dress. Our mom was willing to accept that this …

21-year-old hosts 18+ Halloween party after her cousin’s 6 and 9-year-old kids ruined the party last year, cousin calls her mean for excluding them: ‘It wasn’t fair to punish them for being kids’
Halloween is one of those holidays with events incredibly segregated by age. If you’re over 13, someone will yell at you for trick-or-treating. If you’re younger than 21, you won’t be allowed to enter a local bar’s Halloween costume contest, where the grand prize is a whopping three drink tickets. If you’re 19, you will …

Mom of 4 kids with 1 on the way lives in a 1 bedroom apartment, sleeps in the bedroom with her husband while her kids sleep on mats on the floor:
When you tour a tenement building on the Lower East Side, you’re probably not going there to get hot tips about cramming as many kids as possible into an apartment. You’re going to see how immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th century lived and how far we’ve come regarding housing and human rights. …

If one group of people dominates Facebook, it’s the moms. For at least the past ten years, Facebook has been a breeding ground for many things, but moms connecting with people from their past have got to be in the top 5 groups of users. I can’t imagine going from having no way to contact …
