‘This is my house, my family, and my child’: Estranged childhood friend insults a 29-year-old mom’s parenting tactics with her 5-year-old, gets kicked out of the house, and blocked as a result
Childhood friends get a free pass most of the time for acting impolite. Like family members, long-time friends feel entitled to say whatever the heck they feel like saying, even if it’s judgmental, out-of-pocket, or just downright cruel. But if you’ve lived long enough enduring your spouse’s insufferable childhood friends, there comes a time in …

‘It doesn’t feel like I was ever truly raised, more like survived’: Neglected daughter refuses to be ‘aging’ mother’s primary caregiver after years of being treated like her least favorite child
When you grow up with siblings, it’s difficult to refrain from participating in the unavoidable favoritism contest.

As a result, it’s even more difficult not to …

Moms discuss whether working moms or stay at home moms criticize each other more heavily: ‘Women get shamed no matter what we do’
We as a society tend to think there are way more stay-at-home mothers than there actually are. While around 50% of mothers stayed home with their children in the 1960s, the number has been falling ever since. As women were more able to enter the workforce in fortuitous careers, they did just that and brought …

I hate when parents feel the need to be brutally honest with their kids. Telling them the truth about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny is one thing, but giving them an itemized list of their faults doesn’t do them any favors. Chance is that they know if they’re not the best at soccer, and …

It’s a sad reality that many parents don’t like hanging out with their kids. This is a common trope of fictional rich parents in movies and TV (see Uptown Girls, Eloise at the Plaza, and Schitts Creek as examples), but it sadly appears in real life as well. I would never want to shame dual-income …

To sleep train or not to sleep train? That is a question millions of moms have pondered over the past couple of decades, and it’s not an easy one.

Kids do the darndest things, and you don’t need Art Linklater to tell you that. A kid might seem perfectly normal, but simmering under the surface, there are neurosis and preferences that usually don’t appear in adults. Some kids might only eat bread and cheese, throwing an inconsolable tantrum when their mom tries to feed …

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 …
