Made spaghetti (literally just jarred sauce, lol) and my 8yo said it was 'really good.' THEN she asked for seconds. I know this is such a small thing but honestly after years of 't
Got two kids, ages 7 and 11. Wife wants to limit it to 1 hour per day total but ngl that seems insane on weekends when we're trying to get stuff done around the house. What's actua

Here's what worked: I stopped calling them vegetables and started calling them "power-ups." My 5yo now asks for carrot power-ups and broccoli power-ups. My 7yo rolled his eyes at f
8yo Jake has been resistant to sports his whole life. Too much pressure, too competitive, not fun. We've tried soccer, basketball, nothing stuck. Randomly took him to a minor leagu

My youngest just discovered running and has zero concept of danger. This kid will just full-sprint toward the street or a set of stairs with no hesitation. I can't get anything don

No cap this is a game changer. We made the 'Omelette' episode muffins yesterday and my 5yo daughter helped measure everything. She ate them all in like 2 hours. Found it at Target
Not a picture book either - it was one of those early readers with actual paragraphs. He came up to me after dinner asking for help with a word and I realized he'd been doing it mo
She's decided she wants to "style" herself and I caught her with safety scissors near her hair yesterday. Obviously I hid the scissors but now she's mad about it. Part of me wants
