But I did long to be someone’s mother. For many years, I focused on the absence. Many of the non-moms I know never craved children. I got here with less intention, in a life-didn’t-quite-go-according-to-plan way. In my first marriage, I was fairly sure I wanted kids....

R regular exercise comes with plenty of perks — from feeling more connected to your body to the euphoria of runner’s high (it’s real, we promise). It can even reduce your chances of having a headache or migraine. But, it can also have the opposite effect and cause a whopper of a head banger, too. While experts aren’t completely sure what causes them, some of us tend to be more susceptible....

When it comes to parenting, everything is a two-step process. First, you have to make a decision. Then, you have to deal with the backlash from your decision — no matter what it is. Alicia Silverstone is experiencing the mom shaming once again, as she recently revealed she still co-sleeps with her tween son Bear Blu, and people are absolutely losing it over this information. The actress, who shares 11-year-old Bear with ex-husband Christopher Jarecki, told The Ellen Fisher Podcast on Tuesday, “Bear and I still sleep together....

For the most part, we’ve been mildly amused by the things people have hoarded in response to the novel coronavirus. I mean, the fact that the mask shortage may affect medical professionals was never funny, but toilet paper and bidets made us chuckle a little in our gallows humor mood. Well, a woman in Utah just opened a lot of people’s eyes about what this behavior is doing to moms on a tight budget: Hoarding items like diapers creates hardships for other parents in need....

There are so many ways our children are like flowers: They represent a beautiful hope for the future, the survival of a species, the continuity of life, and a colorful addition to the garden that is your family. Sure, they don’t always smell like flowers, but also they make up for that by being a lot more durable. The point is, giving a flower name to your baby can honor that connection to promise and nature....

I never had white women friends before. I grew up not trusting them. When I tried to have a few in elementary school, I found they let me down. I’d be at their house playing one day, and the next day they wouldn’t say hi to me on the street — especially if they were with other white kids. I felt like I was the convenient kid to play with when no one else was looking....

A study we can all celebrate: On Wednesday, the journal Pediatrics published research that shows the severely misguided “social contagion” is not the driving force behind an increasing number of young people identifying as transgender. In other words, social influence does not contribute to a child’s gender identity. According to the study authors, the origins of their research stemmed from a 2018 study published in PLOS One that indicated adolescents may experience “rapid-onset gender dysphoria” [ROGD] as a result of “social contagion....
