But here’s a revolutionary thought: What if getting dressed didn’t have to feel like solving ..read more

Arriving home with a new baby—even if you’ve already done it before—is one of the most overwhelming things any parent experiences. Given that the U.S. healthcare system woefully underserves many families, the occasional postpartum check-up and 15-minute pediatrician appointment just do not provide the support that families with little ones need and deserve. One organization is hoping to change that, offering free at-home visits with a nurse post-birth to any parent with a newborn, even those who have older children. Family Connects, an organization made up of more than 600 trained nurses acros ..read more

When you’re struggling with infertility, it can be extremely isolating when it feels like every person around you has kids or is pregnant. So many celebrations—baby showers, birthday parties, holidays and other family gatherings—spotlight kids, babies, and parents, a constant reminder to those experiencing infertility about what they so desperately want and don’t have.

None of this has ever existed before. It’s completely unprecedented. And one mom is sharing her completely relatable angst in a viral TikTok video where she shares that she took her tween daughter’s phone away after realizing she regretted giving her kids smartphones at age 10. “I have an 11-year-old and an almost 13-year-old and I regret giving them phones and I need to talk it through, because I know there’s going t ..read more

We’re in the middle of summer, which is stressful itself if you have school-age kids. Now, as you juggle child care, summer camps, vacations, work if you’re employed, staying home with your kids all day if you’re not, and anything else these few months bring, you also have to start thinking about back-to-school schedules and planning. Skylight partnered with The Harris Poll to publish the Skylight Mental Load Report, and the study uncovered just how much time parents tend to spend scheduling and planning: 30.4 hours a week. That’s basically a full-time job, and if you actually got paid for car ..read more

You may have already seen the viral video that’s been making the rounds. An angry-looking mom is dismantling a girls’ bathing suit. Indignant, she says to the camera, “Someone explain to me why my eight-year-old’s swimsuit top has” and pulls out the foam cup inserts. Well, another mom is here to explain. A TikToker who goes by @asianunplugged stitched that video and added on the explanation that it’s not necessarily a reason to react negatively. @asianunplugged Bathing suits Modesty #bathingsuit #swimsuit #modesty #pool ♬ original sound – The Asian Duo “Hey girl, let’s not try to make things ..read more
