Getting your child to school every morning is one of the top tasks of being a parent. It’s part of the gig. You either have to do it yourself or rely on someone else in your community (a neighbor, a friend, a bus driver) to do it for you. That’s why when they get to …

If you’re a parent in America this time of year, odds are you’re helping your child pick out their Halloween costume, and they’ve changed their idea at least 3 times already. Back in the day, we used to just cut some hole in a big white sheet and call ourselves ghosts. Nowadays everyone wants a …

‘Do you like to refuse to show empathy?’: Judgmental grandmother refuses to take care of 3-year-old and 4-year-old while her son takes 1-year-old on a trip, calls it ‘favoritism’

Husband gets angry when wife says ‘What’s the story macaroni’ to her 5-year-old and 4-year-olds, tells her it’s ‘childish’: ‘Tell him to lighten up’
Children are notoriously hard to calm down.

The self-esteem of a 14-year-old girl is always in flux, and usually in a bad way.

When you become a parent, everything becomes your fault. Your kid gets the common cold? Somehow your fault for not making them wash their hands enough. You put vegetables on their plate? Somehow your fault for ruining dinner. You buy them a new pair of shoes? Somehow your fault that they’re a little bit too …

Overbearing stepmom wants 16-year-old stepson to change is name to match hers, doesn’t understand he wants to honor his late mother: ‘It made me feel really icky’

Neglectful 22-year-old mom brings 5-year-old and infant to haunted house despite friends warning, the kids have meltdowns: ‘Those poor kids’
