Let me be upfront: I am not a teacher. I’m sure I’m not alone in assuming that I wouldn’t need a masters degree in education in order to raise a child. But here we are in 2020, wishing we had one (just as many teachers are wondering if they should have taken a less-hazardous career path). While surveys say most parents are nervous about sending our children back to school while the pandemic still rages, we’re also totally baffled about how our children are going to learn anything at all without doing so....

A client of mine recently said, “I feel so overwhelmed, because just as I get in the groove of co-parenting during the new school year I start getting questions about the holidays!” One of the biggest stressors of divorce is co-parenting — and during the holidays, that stress only intensifies. Most divorce agreements include specific mandates about where the kids spend which holidays when, but lawyers do not provide suggestions on how to best meet kids’ emotional needs....

Though mansplaining doesn’t rank as the absolute worst thing that men do to women, in the grand scheme of misogyny, we have to say that mansplaining to pregnant women is a scourge of our modern existence. Then again, a man on Reddit just presented us with a scenario in which many wonder if every once in a while, it’s actually OK for a man to give a woman unsolicited information about her pregnancy....

Imagine you’re a young mother, dealing with the relentless physical demands of a baby. You know, the ones like making sure they don’t stick something in their eye, or picking them up and putting them down for non- stop mealtimes and diaper changes. These are demands that can sap any able-bodied person’s energy and mental sanity. Now imagine you’re that same young mother, and you’re also living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — more commonly known as ALS — a terminal, degenerative motor-neuron disease that is slowly paralyzing your arms....

Editor’s note: Throughout the last year as increasingly extreme and restrictive anti-abortion bills gained traction and went into effect on the state level, reproductive healthcare providers, advocates and patients around the United States continued doing the work they always do: They educated (unpacking the various ways the bill infringes on reproductive freedoms for pregnant people in Texas, particularly for low-income people of color), they organized (showing folks where to put their money and their energy to do the most good) and many of them did the emotional heavy-lifting of sharing their own stories of receiving vital abortion care....

For many transgender people, family gatherings can be…complicated, to say the least. Anti-trans bigotry always stings, but it is especially painful when it comes from people who are supposed to love you unconditionally. Even well-meaning family members can make offensive blunders, such as using incorrect pronouns or the wrong name when referring to a relative. Reddit user @lovemiamoro knows this struggle firsthand. She took to the famed /AmITheAsshole Subreddit for some insight into a hurtful exchange with her father....

Getting dressed for the office often feels like another job in and of itself. Having a part time or full time job on top of taking care of the family is more than enough to handle, so the last thing your brain wants to do in the morning or even the night before is plan out your outfits for work. You want to look put together but don’t want to put in a ton of effort (because who has time for that?...

As Congress raced against the clock last week to pass the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill, all eyes were on the bigger issues: things like avoiding a government shutdown, funding for Ukraine, and spending increases for clean energy and the environment. But tucked quietly into the bill were two items that will prove to be a VERY big deal for both pregnant people and nursing parents in the workplace. These items are the The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) and The Providing Urgent Maternal Protections (PUMP) for Nursing Mothers Act, and their passing means new rights for working parents (and parents-to-be)....
