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. …

The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (April 2, 2024)
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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 (February 6, 2024)
Do you think being a parent is selfless or selfish? That is one of those questions that I can’t quite answer in a straightforward way. On one hand, it is incredibly giving to put the well being of another person above your own dreams and desires. On the other hand, people do not have kids …
