So insensitive

I've watched enough gender reveal party videos to know that some parents are super particular about the sex of their baby. This desire for a boy or a girl doesn't always come from a nefarious place. Sometimes you build up an idea in your head about who your baby is going to be, and when the biological forces at be don't conform to that expectation, you're a little upset. There's truly nothing wrong with that. However, if you act angry or indignant towards your partner because you didn't get the…

It's about to be that time of the year. That blessed time when kids go back to school and moms and dads everywhere can finally have a moment of peace. I'm not saying this to imply that all parents hate summer vacation and the time with their children that comes with it. However, by August, summer vacation can get a bit tedious for the parents and the kids.

One of the best things about checking in early is that you can choose exactly where you sit. If you're flying alone, you don't get to pick exactly who you sit next to, which can be a real bum…

Poor tooth fairy

Every generation of kids inspires a different moral panic. When Gen Xers were kids, people freaked out about TV rotting their brains. When millennials were kids, people freaked out about video games doing the same thing. When we Gen Zers were little tots, everyone was very concerned about child leashes. Of all of these panics, child leases were by far the funniest ones. These days, everybody is incredibly concerned with Generation Alpha being iPad kids . They are the first generation to be born…
