The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (March 12, 2024)

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 …

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (March 5, 2024)

There’s something about texting that can wash away the shame of the questions you’re asking. Think about it…if you look through your old texts, I’m sure you’ve sent messages you’d be ashamed to say aloud. I’m not just talking about those kinds of texts; I’m talking about any texts. Sometimes I read back messages I’ve …

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (February 27, 2024)

I can’t imagine that it’s easy to be a parent to teenagers. Teens feel their emotions deeply and have so much pressure to succeed; it’s no wonder they take it out on their parents. I don’t want to brag, but my sister and I were pretty easy teenagers to parent. We didn’t sneak out to …

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (February 20, 2024)

If you look through old texts on anybody’s phone, you’ll find a rich tapestry that illustrates some truth about who that person is. This is a massive shift from where texting was a mere 20 years ago. Back then, Ryan Seacrest had to beg us to text our votes for the next American Idol. Not …

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (February 13, 2024)

As I’ve combed through the cringiest parenting texts on the internet, I’ve noticed some patterns emerging. One of them is that many of these texts are between adult children who still live with their parents and said parents. I say this in no way to shame people who live with their parents because of financial …

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (January 30, 2024)

Parents and kids can agree on one thing: they never want the other to know every bad thing they’ve said about them when they’re not around. There are things I wrote about my mom in my diary as a kid that I pray to God nobody ever reads, her especially. I’m sure she’s said things …

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (January 23, 2024)

Parenting is often something that happens behind closed doors. It’s no secret that there’s a big difference between how a parent will reprimand their kid while they’re in public versus at their home. This is mostly due to general social etiquette in public: you’re not going to scream at your kid in a Walmart unless …

The Cringiest Parenting Texts of the Week (December 26, 2023)

As I sort through all sorts of cringe parenting texts, I start to see some patterns emerge. It’s wild how many times I’ve seen texts from different parents that all basically say the same thing. They’re always sidestepping their past behavior and blaming their kid for distancing themselves from them. They are willing to insult …

The Cringiest Parenting Texts of the Week (December 5, 2023)

Kids can be a real handful, especially when they become teenagers. I wish that we all came out of the womb as master communicators, able to empathetically talk through things with our parents and reach productive conclusions. Too bad, that couldn’t be further from the case. Teens are basically brand new to this world, and …

The Cringiest Parenting Texts of the Week (November 21, 2023)

Thanksgiving is mere days away, and you know what that means! Everybody is going to get along perfectly with their family, and nobody will say insane stuff to each other! If you believe that, I’m glad you’ve still got a Candide-esque level of optimism in your soul, but your bubble might burst sooner than later.  …
