A family member doing you a favor does not necessarily mean that they are willing to do the same thing for your friends. Plenty of people are willing to help out their relatives in a way that they just wouldn’t for people whom they don’t really know. Much as it is nice to be nice, …

Mom of 4-month-old leaves home for an hour, husband sends her voice note of the baby crying: ‘I thought you would text me if something was wrong’
Once somebody becomes a parent, there is no going back from it. So long as a child is a part of a parent’s life, they have to accept that there will always be a part of them that is constantly on duty. They might get a break now and then, but nonetheless, choosing to bring …

We are in the digital age: Constantly reachable, surveilled, and heard from every person in and out of our lives. The little mini computer in your pocket is to blame, and for better or for worse, we can’t live without them. The world has transformed in such a way that it forces us to need …

The Most Entertaining Parenting Texts of the Week (July 1, 2025)
I have not had full-time group chat commitments since I was a teenager. Although I was annoyed by the amount of maintenance required for the average teen group chat in the mid-2010s, those chats were highly entertaining. There was always a stupid meme or random incident that group chat members could discuss 24 hours a …

Happy Belated Father’s Day! If there’s one thing I know about dads, it’s that they’re usually not as good at texting as moms. That doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be celebrated just the same!

No parent is perfect. Every mom or dad will screw up at some point in the 18 years it takes for an infant to become an adult, and best believe it won’t be without consequences for their kid. There is endless writing and posting about being a parent to a child; I’m less interested in …

When I think of the ultimate parenting failure, I think of Billy Bigelow. He is the protagonist (and antagonist) of the musical Carousel, and ding dong, does he have high highs and low lows. He finds out his wife (whom he constantly mistreats) is pregnant, steals money to provide for his future child, and ends …
