Life isn’t fair. This is a rule that it is best to learn early and to learn often. You can’t always expect to get the same thing as everyone else. You learn this extra early if you have siblings. You might see that your parents were probably stricter with the first child than they are …

‘She pushed it too far’: Mother-in-law criticizes daughter-in-law for going to the gym while pregnant, pregnant daughter snaps at her
Some types of people are weirdly controlling over pregnant women’s bodies. It can seem like the minute you conceive, your body is up for discussion in the public forum. Strangers scrutinize what you eat, what you wear, how hard you’re working, and what you do with your free time. Forgetting that it has not ceased …

25+ of the Funniest Parenting Tweets of the Week (March 6, 2025)
Parenting is no walk in the park. Actually, it is a lot of walking and a lot of time spent in parks, but it’s not easy. Being a parent is like being an ER nurse, a psychologist, a performer, and a maid all at once. Plus, you don’t get paid to do it. You actually …

‘It seems like everyone but you is responsible’: Dad accuses friend’s kids of stealing his 8-year-old’s toy, blames wife for not putting it away
Kids are unpredictable. You never quite know what their next move is going to be. Maybe they’ll start crying because their pants are a little too tight. Maybe, out of nowhere, they will ask you why dolphins have blowholes. Maybe they’ll throw a Lego at your face just to see what would happen. You truly …

25+ Bluey Memes for Parents Who Relate to Bandit and Chilli
Good children’s programming is just good programming. I remember my parents enjoying watching along to Max and Ruby and Spongebob, though they didn’t quite care for Ed, Edd, and Eddy or Total Drama Island. Some kids shows are just for kids, with their bright colors and obnoxious behavior, and some shows factor in the adults …

‘This is our first Christmas as a real family’: New stepmom insists 21-year-old stepdaughter cancel plans to visit her bio-mom so she can attend her holiday party, throws a fit when she declines
It’s not always easy to blend families. Different parties might be resistant to different kinds of change, and points of view can easily clash. This is even (and sometimes especially) true when you have adult children. Odds are, they have probably missed the boat in connecting with their new step-parent in a particularly intimate way. …

‘She’s not my parent’: 43-year-old stepmom who can’t cook forces ‘parental bonding’ with 17-year-old stepson by asking him to teach her basic meals, son refuses to participate
If you’re a full-grown, able-bodied adult and you can’t cook, there is something wrong with you. No offense, but there is. We literally need food to survive. So it’s hubristic to think that your needs will be met magically despite you not knowing how to. Maybe you have someone in your life who cooks for …

Parenting is no piece of cake. It’s one of the most thankless jobs you can get in life. Okay, you get Mother’s or Father’s Day once a year when the attention turns on you and how good of a parent you are, but what about all those moments in between? Who thanks you for putting …

30+ Dad Memes for Fathers Who Have Mastered Dad-hood
Give it up for the dads. I love dad culture. It’s similar to Midwest culture. It revolved around corny jokes, preparing meat, and not taking things too seriously. I love it when a dad does a bit with a server at a restaurant. It’s like hearing a cow say «moo.» Even better when you see …
