We should all know less about each other. This mantra has popped up on Twitter recently, often in response to people sharing graphic personal details online that nobody asked for. With the advent of social media, we have become conditioned to share so much of our lives with strangers. We're not just showing the shiny and cool parts of our lives with strangers: we're showing everything! We post a picture every day because an app told us to "be real." We share our traumas on TikTok because those bring us attention. We tell people in Facebook groups our whole life story because boundaries don't exist anymore! 

If you're an adult who overshares on the internet about your own life, that's all well and good. I can't tell you how to manage your digital footprint. However, when parents can't help but post crazy things about their kids online, that's when things get a bit more ethically dubious.

Head material: POLYFOAM (not paperboard) Size Chart S: 166cm-170cm (5'5" - 5'7") My daughter wanted this "mascot" costume when she was in the 6th grade and being GenX parents, we had no idea what the connotations were. So, this lovely furry suit thing stayed in its box. No judgment here, just not for a 12 year old little girl. We paid $189.00 for it and bought it brand new/custom made. Please take advantage of

    Font - I once live in nannied for a doula who would dehydrate the placenta of her clients. I'm okay with this. What I wasn't okay with was the fact she got a live in exchange student the week after I moved in so I moved into her windowless basement work room with a couch for a bed and she would occasionally cook placenta in my bedroom. It has a small I'll never forget. Also takes 24+ hours to dissipate. I literally moved into a tent on my friends lawn (happily-it was a beautiful summer, big tent

    Font - Would love other parents of Elementary kids opinions. Do you think the counseling sessions given to the kids in Kindergarten are appropriate? My son came home talking about his private parts and how his mouth is a private part and nobody should put anything in it. I am horrified that this is being taught. This should be my job as a parent. I get the "safety" of it but really? Anyone else feel this way? 7 comments Like Comment Send

    Font - oup member. 26m Hey Dad's! So my youngest son is 3 and plays with all types of toys but in the last few months, he has been interested in a few girl toys and characters. He loves Mickey Mouse, Blippi, Paw Patrol, Elmo etc and likes dressing up like them but also asked if he can wear Princess Peach costume. Is this phase typical and is it something I should deter or let him go through it? The various toys I might can deal with but the Princess Peach costume is a hard no from me and my wife

    Font - Let's play a game! It's called "who's the baby's daddy?" Rule 1 Post anonymous so people can't search your profile and find the answers Rule 2 Put together a collage of your baby (child), a male friend, your brother (or male family member), and your babies actual father in a side by side Rule 3 Post it! So tell me y'all, who do YOU think is the babies daddy!

    Font - Believe it or not there is nothing wrong with a little bit of poop...it is minimally toxic....we actually use small amounts periodically in our kids diets as we have read it makes their immune system stronger...kind of like eating dirt or putting a pacifier back in a babys mouth when fallen on the floor. We use about a tablespoon and add it to chili..the kids have no clue. 1h Like Reply View 3 previous replies 2

    Font - Mom asks for bullying advice. Didn't like that everyone pointed out she was the reason for it. I have a 10 year old who's being bullied right now. My husband and I live with mil and we all smoke cigs. So he's of course smells like it's and is being bullied for it. We do smoke inside but we have two windows open to help around the house out. I'm not sure what else to do. Are there any ideas what I can do? How I can help him stand up for himself?
