If you've been online at all over the last couple of days, you've probably seen that there's been some controversy surrounding the upcoming live action adaptation of Disney's The Little Mermaid. The casting of singer Halle Bailey has caused a lot of outrage from people who are vehemently against a the inclusion of a Black Ariel in the canon. In response to the racist backlash towards Bailey, many mothers have been recording their children's reaction to the trailer, finding that most of them are…

Watching parents spill details about their kids on social media can make you feel a lot better about your family life. I saw a TikTok this morning where a mom openly admitted she took her able-bodied child on a family vacations without her disabled son. Like, how are you not embarrassed? Why are you openly admitting this horrible thing you did on social media without shame? Parents can share the most alarming things to complete, and if you question it at all, you get accused of “mom shaming.” L…

Parents love to document every milestone their kid reaches. A child's first steps, first word, and the first day of school are all recorded carefully by their mom and dad so they can relive that memory for years to come. However, the most memorable moments of a kid's life usually happen when the cameras aren't around. When I was a kid, I somehow got my parents to give myself and my sister the s*x talk by asking endless questions about the biology of conjoined twins. There might not be a scrapbo…

There's something ethically murky about posting your kids online. What started as parents posting their kids on Facebook to share with friends and relatives has become an uncontrollable monster. Children are not old enough to fully comprehend the possible repercussions of having a digital footprint, especially one out of their control. In an era where family vloggers and parenting TikTokers can make thousands of dollars from plastering their child's face all over the internet, it's worth questi…

A wise woman once told me, “Darling, if you have a baby, then you can't be the baby .”

Can we make this into a drinking game for adults?

Do you ever think about how crazy it is that you can just make a person? It is wild that people worldwide can create a human life with nothing more than their body and their time. And a big white bird depending on who you ask. While creating a person can take minimal effort, raising a person is full of chaos, madness, and confusion. Parenthood is a commitment of multiple decades where you get no days off and it can take over your life. One of the most common issues for parents is not having tim…

Do you ever think about how kids are among the funniest demographic groups, but there are very few kid comedians? Children's unfiltered thoughts seem to pour out of them in hilarious ways before they get all bogged down with social skills, self-seriousness, and puberty. For those of us without little kids, we tend to miss out. Luckily for us, there is no shortage of parents on social media willing to share the darndest things their kids say. From dads enacting revenge on bullies through cartoon…

It's a rough week to be searching for funny parenting content . While Twitter is usually overflowing with cute quips from tired child-rearers, this week has felt a bit more somber. Instead of sharing stories about cute kids and their hilarious failures , many parents are taking to the website to address the Roe v. Wade leak that occurred earlier this week (at the same time as the Met Gala ). Fortunately, we were able to wade through the politics and locate the funny tweets we all need right now…

There are worse role models

An adorable nightmare
