Homeschool mom inquires about homeschool groups that go from 7:30-4 where she doesn’t have to do much teaching: ‘Do you mean school?’

Contrary to popular belief, homeschooling doesn’t always consist of a parent teaching their children by themself at home. This is the archetypal image of a homeschooling family: waking up late, doing math in their pajamas, with mom serving as the teacher. However, there are many other ways to educate children from outside of a public …

Over the past 5 years, there has been a considerable rise in parents using natural remedies for their children’s illnesses instead of over-the-counter or prescription medications. Every mom group in the country is full of parents asking for alternative treatments for every childhood disease under the sun, with hundreds of comments eagerly telling them to …

We use Facebook differently as we age. Many millennials posted 100+ pictures of a singular night in the club in 2009, yet they are doing nothing of the sort today. You can’t be an online party girl forever, and often, the craziest of partiers become the most wholesome parents around. Their Facebook accounts reflect that.  …

Every Facebook group on the planet has that one person who never shuts up. A group member could post something that has literally nothing to do with them, their family, their interests, or their expertise, and they will still find a way to comment about it. I know a lot of people who love to …

Boy moms are such an interesting group. I’m not talking about normal mothers who happen to have only given birth to members of the male gender; I’m more referring to moms who wrap up a large part of their identity in being the mother of a boy, which is just so different than mothering girls. …

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, they know if they’re not the best at soccer, and they …

There are so many ways to be a bad parent. It’s way easier to deprioritize a kid’s emotional, educational, or medical needs than you might think. So many parents believe that they know better than teachers, doctors, and other professionals because their «mama hearts» are telling them they’re correct. It can be tempting to homeschool …

Remember when your parents would tell you not to post everything on Facebook? This might be unique to Gen Z, where our parents were smart enough about social media to look at our pages and monitor our posts but resigned to the fact that they can’t stop us from using it entirely. My mom would …

There is this parenting trend that I’ve seen on TikTok recently that is straight-up baffling. I’m sure you’ve heard of parents deciding to never say «no» to their children but rather redirecting them towards the results that they (the parents) want. For example, when your child says, «Can I stick this fork in this power …
