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 …

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. …

‘I feel like you’d be overweight in the near future’: Man gets chewed out after dumping date for eating a salad
The ick is a complicated phenomenon in the already complex world of dating. Sometimes it arrives due to legitimate and even necessary reasons, other times it feels like a dumb game that your subconscious is playing against you. Either way, it is a very delicate topic to approach with your former crush. Often, it’s just …

Every family group chat is an entirely different space. If your family isn’t talking to each other regularly, it might be challenging to conceptualize what exactly families are texting each other day in and day out. My family group chat is pretty low-key. We send each other pictures of the dogs, the occasional meme, and …

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 …

‘Just tell me you’re «busy with work and family!» I’ll take the hint’: HR-style break up message prompts debate about relationship overcommunication
Call me avoidant or emotionally immature, but there are situations in which I’d prefer to be ghosted. If a person with whom I have been on one moderately enjoyable date with goes AWOL, I would rather not have to come up with a polite response to being told exactly why they don’t like me enough …

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (April 16, 2024)
It’s difficult to have honest discussions with your parents about things they’ve done wrong. It’s drilled into us from childhood that kids should be eternally grateful to their parents, and while I think honoring your father and mother isn’t the worst virtue in the world, you shouldn’t look at your parents through rose-colored glasses either. …

Within every individual lies the desire to know juicy gossip. You might be somebody who claims they’re not about the drama. Still, I know that when it comes down to it, you aren’t going to ignore incredibly damning stories about your acquaintances you feel negatively towards. It’s in our human nature to seek out a …

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (March 19, 2024)
When you dig through as many texts from bad parents as I have, you start to see some patterns emerge. It’s genuinely devastating how many parents would rather cling to the idea that they’re right about everything and their kids are wrong about everything than have a productive conversation with them. They would rather never …

Parenting: no matter how hard I try, it will always be what my Instagram reels return to. I’m totally cool with it, though! There’s nothing more entertaining to me as a 24-year-old without children than a mom posting about how her kids have «different personalities» when they go to their dad’s house because he allows …
