It’s Thanksgiving, a holiday usually centered around family. This can be a wonderful thing, as generations come together to sit around a table, share food, tell stories, and remember what we’re grateful for. It’s a simple holiday, perfect for cherishing the little things. Family-centric holidays can also be times of high stress, especially for parents of little ones. Newly-learned table manners must be enacted, picky eaters need to be dealt with, and apple pie-induced sugar rushes must be quelled, all while you’re trying to whip up a sweet potato casserole that will be better than last year’s. It’s a herculean feat. 

Luckily, you’re not in it alone. There are scores of moms and dads on the internet facing the same holiday hurdles, and they’re here to tell you it’s gonna be okay, or at least to give some company to your strife. So pour yourself a mug of gravy (you heard me) and enjoy.
