Not all baby boomers are bad at technology; only most of them are. I thank the universe daily that my parents aren’t so old that they can’t write an email or post to Facebook without accidentally posting a blurry picture of their befuddled faces. Honestly, I think those remaining from the Silent Generation are the …

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 …

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. …

Bored therapist texts during session, can’t understand why patient gets angry and leaves: ‘Do I wait for him to apologize?’
I’m always amazed when somebody has never had a bad therapist. You can always tell who they are because they talk about therapy as if it is a miraculous cure to any problem or social ill that you harbor. I’m sure many of us have heard some well-meaning person talking about how people who don’t …

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 parental abuse. …

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 …
