The Most Entertaining Parenting Posts of the Week (May 20, 2024)
I understand why parents freak out about their kids misbehaving when they’re super young. Rumor has it that most of your personality is formed by the time you turn seven years old, so if you’re a tool in 1st grade, then you’re probably going to be a tool forever. Whether or not that’s scienficially accurate …

‘This one is 2 days old’: Woman called in to minimum wage job on Mother’s Day 48 hours after giving birth
Mother’s Day was this Sunday, and it allowed all of us to take some time to thank the mamas in our lives. And for good reason. Moms do so much unrecognized labor it would count as a more than full-time job if you were measuring it that way. And all for free. So the least …

The Most Entertaining Parenting Posts of the Week (May 6, 2024)
We’ve been making entertainment spectacles out of lousy parenting for at least as long as I’ve been alive. As a kid, I was intrigued and compelled by the TV program Supernanny. For those of you living under a rock, Supernanny follows a British nanny named Jo, who helps families with poorly behaved children. Sometimes, the …

The Wildest Parenting Posts of the Week (April 29, 2024)
I’m obsessed with parents who think their babies are geniuses. It makes sense why a mother who spends 24 hours a day with her kid might come to that conclusion, especially if they pass developmental milestones with flashing colors. Everyone thinks their kid is much more special than they objectively are, and there’s nothing wrong …

I do not envy mothers who post their experiences online just to be judged for every move they make. I know I am part of this problem (don’t shoot the messenger), but I am constantly amazed at how many moms get eviscerated online for doing totally innocuous things I would never bat an eye at. …

I’m kind of obsessed with the intersection of moms who are super trad and moms who post their family’s entire life on social media for all to see. If you want to live on a homestead, homeschool your children, and make sure that they never eat any Red Dye 40 for as long as they …

I learn so many new things about parenting by looking at parenting fails. While some aspects of parenting are intuitive, there are about a million things that you need to learn about child-rearing before you actually have a baby. For instance, I was completely ignorant about bed-sharing and safe sleep until I started willingly exposing …

‘We think our baby is a genius’: Moms share the Mommy Facebook Group posts that live in their heads rent free
Mommy Facebook Groups aren’t easy to forget. If you’ve lived in any community with a high concentration of families over the past ten years, you’ve probably been a part of one or at least seen some of the nonsense that they produce on social media. In my hometown, our Mom Facebook Group was legendary as …
