When I was a kid, I was told never to trust what anybody says online. As far as I was concerned, every person who anonymously messaged me was a criminal who would harm me. I believed that earnestly in elementary school, but you can’t maintain that delusion about every anon by the time you become …

I’ve seen a lot of crazy advice on Mommy Facebook Groups over the years, especially regarding the best way to feed your kids. The wildest trend that has emerged in the past couple of years is little kids (alongside their parents) just gnawing on full-blown sticks of butter. I remember back in the day when …

But occasionally, there will be a post from someone so unquestionably incorrect that every mother, whether liberal, conservative, a conspiracy theorist, or a total normie, will come along …

To double text, or not to double text? That is the question I haven’t asked myself much lately because I really don’t care that much.

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 …

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. If my Instagram reels are any indication of the parenting trends of today, most contemporary mothers believe sleep training is incredibly harmful and should not be …

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 …
