I’m constantly baffled by how many parents are willing to tell their whole life story on parenting Facebook groups. More than that, I’m shocked that they are so willing to ask for advice from a group of complete strangers. I know that there’s a feature on Facebook where you can ask questions anonymously, but that …

The Cringiest Parenting Posts of the Week (September 11, 2023)
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 …

Mommy Facebook groups are harmful for the same reason they’re beneficial: they bring isolated people together. Motherhood is extremely difficult, especially at the beginning. People shame mothers for only wanting to talk about their babies, isolating them from friends and family. Often, they have a spouse who works outside the house, so they spend most …

I don’t want to brag, but I’m so lucky to have a good relationship with my parents. I can go to them to talk about anything, and they are so willing to offer help. I’ll admit the way I communicate with my mom, and my dad over text messages is very different. My mom and …

The first day of school is upon us, and you know what that means? It means that parents everywhere are going to be posting their children’s information via those little blackboards on Facebook for the next two weeks. I don’t know when those things emerged because I certainly wasn’t holding up my social security number …

Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot more parents online talking about «unschooling» their children. Unschooling was one of those things that ABC might’ve covered ten years ago as a human interest piece, but nobody really took it seriously as a way to educate kids. For those of y’all who don’t know, this is the definition …

The Cringiest LinkedIn Posts of the Week (August 19, 2023)
I do not understand the point of LinkedIn influencers. I know that in their minds, they are constantly shaping the discourse around business, commerce, office decorum, and whether or not you should grind. While that is all good and valid, I have never been convinced of a point because a LinkedIn person told me to …

One of the newest weird trends in parenting right now is «living off the grid.» I’m not talking about people choosing to live and raise their family in a rural, remote area. I’m talking about parents making the conscious decision of not letting the government know that their child even exists. They don’t get a …

Kids might say the darndest things, but so do parents. My mom recently told me a wild story about writer and composer Mary Rogers that proves that some people aren’t meant to be parents. For context, she was the daughter of Broadway composing legend Richard Rogers, and her son Adam Guettel went on to write …

Mommy Facebook Groups are by no means a new phenomenon. I have been making fun of them since I was a teenager, which didn’t go unnoticed by my Texan suburban community. Long story short, I was a member of my high school’s sketch comedy team. I know, extremely cool, very popular, and totally not lame …
