We’ve all had a moment when we’ve genuinely thought, «Kids these days.» We go the first part of our lives thinking we’re the youngest and hippest people who have ever lived, and that attitude is hard to shake. That is until the generation below you starts doing things that you don’t understand. As for me, I feel pretty young until I log onto FamousBirthdays.com. Those …

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (May 14, 2024)
Mother’s Day weekend isn’t fun for everybody. Your mom might live thousands of miles away, robbing both of you of the chance to hang out with each other and celebrate her. You might be living without a mother or a grandmother, which made you spend all of Sunday mourning and missing them. Unfortunately, not everyone …

Parents will do all sorts of things to make sure their kids succeed. I understand moving to an area with a good school district or paying for SAT tutoring, but some parents take it too far. I know kids who were held back in elementary school so that they could be older than everyone in …

‘Dealing with other people’s children’: Parents share the most unexpected struggles that come with parenting
There is no way to fully prepare for parenthood. Even if you read every baby book in the library, devour countless academic articles about child-rearing, ask all the parents you know for advice, watch every baby TikTok under the sun, and study parenting tweets every Thursday, being a parent will continue to shock you every …

Adult children discuss negligent helicopter parents who highly surveil their children but seldom support them: ‘No praise for accomplishments, just constant expectations’
Non-parents often think that parenting styles are distinct, inscrutable categories that can’t have any overlaps. Crunchy moms homeschool their children and shield them from screens, outsiders, and foods that don’t come from the earth. Permissive parents let every act of misbehaving slide because they’re too lazy to correct any behavior. Or worse yet, they prioritize …

Sister attempts to ‘ground’ 20-year-old college student after she continuously woke up her six-month-old baby: ‘[She] has zero respect for the baby or the parents’
For many college students, it’s their first taste of true independence. They’re living on their own for the first time, usually out of their parent’s house, with nobody around to tell them what to do (Except your RA). It’s a chance for kids to learn how to make it on their own. To learn how to keep their …

Every age is a new battle. When they’re infants, it’s all about keeping them alive. When they’re toddlers, it’s all about keeping them alive. When they’re teenager, it’s all about keeping them… alive. Huh, I guess maybe it’s the same at every age. But watching a kid grow can be a trippy experience. One minute, they’re …

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (May 7, 2024)
Every parent has a different level of involvement in their kid’s life once they become adults. Some adult children call their parents multiple times a day, consulting them on every decision they make, whether it’s big or small. Some parents still provide housing and food for their kids years after graduating high school or college. …

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 …

There seem to be a few inevitables in this life (like death and taxes, famously), but one of them is turning into your parents. You can go your whole life trying to do the exact opposite of the people who raised you, but one day you’ll find yourself holding your phone a full arm’s length from your …
