The Cringiest Mommy Facebook Posts of the Week (May 22, 2023)

Mommy Facebook Groups are by no means a new phenomenon. I have been making fun of them since I was a teenager, which didn’t go unnoticed by my suburban community. Long story short, I was a member of my high school’s sketch comedy team. I know, extremely cool, very popular, and totally not lame of …

Hands-Off Parents Forbid Babysitter From Discipling Their Children, Get Angry At Babysitter When Their Kids Misbehave

Babysitting kids can go two very different ways. Either the kids are totally cool, or they are absolute monsters that cannot be tamed. I was lucky that the kids I looked after were rad as hell when I was a teenage babysitter. Their parents were never too controlling, telling me that we could only do …

The Funniest Parenting Tweets of the Week (May 11, 2023)

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: «I’m going to have kids early so I can enjoy my 40s and 50s.» Or what about this one: «I’m going to wait until I’m 30 to have a kid so I can enjoy my twenties.» These lines of reasoning are predicated on the notion that having …

I am obsessed with TV shows about cringe parents. I have rewatched Dance Moms more than any person ever should watch Dance Moms because I am addicted to being in pain. For those of you who are blissfully ignorant, Dance Moms is a reality show about mothers and daughters dealing with their evil dance teacher, …

The Best Parenting Tweets of the Week (May 4, 2023)

The Best Parenting Tweets of the Week (April 27, 2023)

There is no group of people more unfairly scrutinized online than parents. Okay, maybe that’s not 100% true, but I am baffled by the comments on nearly every parenting video I see on reels and TikTok. No matter what a parent does, no matter how normal their video is, some weirdos in the comments will …

The Cringiest Mommy Facebook Posts of the Week (April 24, 2023)

Twenty years ago, parenting books used to be where it was at. Parents who had a million questions about how they should raise their kids didn’t go around posting about it on their MySpace pages. They went to Borders, Books A Million, and other now-defunct stores and bought a bunch of books about it! While …

The Funniest Parenting Tweets of the Week (April 20, 2023)

One of the most challenging parts of being a parent is the lack of sleep. Kids wear you down to the point of exhaustion and keep you up at night worrying about them. It’s an incredibly unfair catch-22 of the human experience. My poor mother has been unable to sleep since I was born, and I …
