Kids are notorious for having active imaginations. Even a simple pillow fort can become a wondrous jungle where their stuffed animals come to life…ah, the joys of childhood. However, sometimes a big imagination causes parents to be rightfully skeptical when their kid tells them a story that seems just outside of reality. A mother to […] More
Staring isn’t something that only kids do—there are rude people all around us who are happy to stare, long, hard, and unembarrassed, at people around them who look different than they do. But kids are prone to staring by nature simply because they’re absolutely full of curiosity and everything is new to them. They haven’t […] More
The number of kids people want to have varies wildly. Some moms are strictly one and done, while others are looking for a bigger family (and then of course there are families like the Duggars…). But there comes a time for every mom when she knows she’s done having kids. It could be because she’s […] More
Playing April Fools’ Day jokes on kids is a questionable practice. Kids, who already have trouble separating reality from pretend, can have a hard time understanding. YouTubers Cole and Savannah LaBrant went a bit too big (and mean) with their April Fools’ Day prank on their 6-year-old daughter, Everleigh. Especially since they pulled the prank […] More
God knows moms are tired. They’re somehow always in charge of everything and it’s exhausting. People always think they know what it’s like to be tired until they find themselves up in the middle of the night, repeatedly, with a baby, sometimes for months on end. It’s then they realize that they never knew the […] More

Now cases are on the rise again https://t.co/yR6DNe4S0Z — The Economist (@TheEconomist) March […] More
It’s not easy being a parent. Kids are time-consuming and demanding and if there’s one thing most parents have in common it’s that they’re just bone-tired. The fatigue and distraction can lead to all sorts of easy-to-make mistakes, but the way I see it, as long as your child makes it in one piece through […] More
Traveling isn’t always easy. Planes, especially, are a hassle—yes, they take us enormous distances in a relatively short amount of time, but they’re also boring and stuffy. And that’s just traveling alone. Imagine traveling with a child or two, and you can see how things get exponentially more difficult. Not everybody has goodwill for the […] More
Teachers are our undisputed everyday superheroes. Though they are vital and dedicated educators, teachers are often overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated. They spend all day, every day molding the minds of the future and some of those minds are spoiled brats. Just take it from this teacher who got so fed up with the entitled students […] More
It’s unfortunate how often toxic masculinity ideals are forced upon men in our society. The stigma that boys and ultimately men are supposed to be tough, unemotional beings who only like sports and hard labor is so incredibly close-minded and untrue. It’s 2019 and there is no standard definition of what a man is “supposed” […] More
As most parents can attest, almost every kid goes through a picky eating stage. Typically, toddler-age is when the strong stance against anything green and healthy begins. The face of pure disgust, when you offer your kiddo anything out of their normal regimen, is to be expected. However, dinnertime doesn’t always have to be a […] More
