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 Most Entertaining Parenting Texts of the Week (November 12, 2024)
As I sort through all sorts of 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 and …

I am continually baffled by how some parents talk to their kids, particularly their daughters, about their bodies. I was lucky not to grow up in a household where my mom was constantly calling me fat, but I certainly knew some girls whose moms did exactly that. They are, what we digital natives call «almond …

If you ever thought that your parents were bad, watch Female Trouble. I am so grateful that I don’t have juvenile delinquent turned petty criminal turned international model turned death row inmate Dawn Davenport as my mother. If it weren’t a hilarious John Waters comedy, Female Trouble would be a harrowing tale of child endangerment. …

Millennial faces pushback after complaining about older relative texting him ‘call me’: ‘This is why old people think your generation is entitled’
There is no denying that in some ways, millennials have had it harder than the generations that have come before them. Most have never had the level of security that their Boomer parents had. However, they have been the recipient of one big advantage, and that is being a part of the revolution in information …

No parent is perfect. Every mom or dad will screw up at some point in their life 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. That era of the parent-child relationship is one I’m less interested in. What’s more …

I don’t understand why someone would pick a fight over texts when they could fight in real life. Having an honest-to-goodness argument face-to-face trumps typing on your little bitty cell phone any day of the week. The one advantage of fighting over text is that you have more time to think of an articulate, clever …

One of the best parts of texting is getting to keep receipts on exactly what someone has said to you. If you are talking to someone on the phone, you might not have the foresight to record your conversations before something comes up that is worth documenting (That, or you live in a state where …

Anonymous comments are known to bring out the worst in people. If you are scrolling TikTok, Instagram, or Reddit, you shouldn’t read the comments thoroughly and take them to heart. People will say awful things not because they believe them but to get a rise from their fellow commenters. Some trolls believe what they’re saying, …

Man gets romantically rejected by woman and told that she wishes she met him 3 years later, faces further rejection when he checks up on her then: ‘At least do some due diligence first’
If there is one valuable thing that anyone should learn from a romantic misadventure, it’s that most relationships that don’t work out the first time probably aren’t going to be much better when you try them again. Sure, there are the Ben Afflecks and J.Los of the world for whom the ups and downs of …
