They say that 90% of parenting is just thinking about when you can lie down again. They say that nothing prepares you for the exhaustion of new parenthood. They say that the work of parenting is never truly over. If that’s all true, which I know it is, then parents easily have the hardest job …

3rd grader with difficult home life asks her beloved 2nd grade teacher to adopt her: ‘It broke me and she was being serious. I would adopt all these kids if I could’
Nearly every kid has accidentally called a teacher «mom» and felt embarrassed about it. In many ways, teachers are second parents to so many kids. Kids spend the hours of 8 AM to 3 PM at school, and if they’re in elementary school, that whole time (outside of gym, recess, and electives) is spent with …

It’s no secret that parents don’t have time for much. They’re too busy shuttling the kids to and from school, cutting grapes in half, tying tiny shoes, and probably working full-time jobs to have much blank space in the calendar. That’s why a tweet is a parent’s best friend. It’s a quick, easy, and portable …

It’s official. The kids are back in school. This might be a welcome relief for parents who are tired of trying to keep rowdy kids entertained in the summer heat. No more schlepping them to the pool or the beach, no more worrying if they’ve reapplied sunscreen or if they’re wearing their floaties. No more …

The rewards of parenting can be simple in deed but huge in impact, like watching your kid make a friend in the playground. Or seeing them paint a picture and give it to you to hang on the fridge. Or hearing from their teachers that they helped another student with a difficult problem. These are …

Parenting is sort of like the Olympics. Keeps you awake during odd hours, makes you care about things you never knew existed, and gives you good small-talk content. Except that the (summer) Olympics only happen every four years. Parenting is… forever. Even when your kid turns 18 and they’re no longer legally your responsibility, odds …

‘This is the most fantastic […] birthday ever!’: Mom makes promise to 3-year-old daughter that she instantly regrets when she turns 15
When we’re kids, sometimes you’ll say anything to get your kid to shut up. You’ll tell lies, you’ll invent stories, and you’ll make promises you know you can’t keep. «They’ll forget about it,» you assume. «There’s no way they’ll ever remember that I told them they could get a pet pigeon once they turned 16.» …

Being a parent is all about expecting the unexpected, as Julie Chen, the host of Big Brother always says. You can plan and plan all you’d like, but one day your kid is going to look at you and ask you why you have so many lines on your face, and you’ll have to take …
