The Most Entertaining Parenting Texts of the Week (April 29, 2025)

No parent is perfect. Every mom or dad will screw up at some point in the 18 years it takes for an infant to become an adult, and best believe it won't be without consequences for their kid. There is endless writing and posting about being a parent to a child; I'm less interested in that era of the parent-child relationship. What's more interesting to me is parents relationships with their adult kids, particularly when the lines are blurred and parents treat their adult children like they're still little kids. It's a fascinating phenomenon that's been exacerbated by technology. Parents can track their adult kid's locations to see where they are and pontificate upon what they're doing there. They can parent and control them from hundreds of miles away

Texting is a huge tool if you're a parent who's parenting their adult children. It's a way to talk to someone, even if they really don't want to talk to you. So many parents say things over text that they would never say in real life, and these parenting texts demonstrate this perfectly.
