Should We Force Teens To Participate In Family Gatherings? On July 12, 2015. I’ve been hearing lately from readers who are parenting teens (or who will be in the near future). Recently I answered a question about parenting teens on my advice column Ask the Mom at TheMid.com and I thought I’d share it here today. I hope you enjoy! Help me out here, Meagan. Just let her surf Instagram the entire time? Do we excuse her from coming altogether? Compromise. It isn’t wrong to expect your daughter to s...She may...

Breaking news: Don’t be a dick in restaurants - renegade mothering
http://www.renegademothering.com/2015/07/21/dickinrestaurants
Breaking news: Don’t be a dick in restaurants. By now you’ve heard of the restaurant owner in Maine. Who yelled at some toddler who allegedly screamed for 40 minutes at a table. I don’t want to talk about that. It’s boring. We have no idea what happened. As messed up as it is to squeal at a stranger’s baby (and that lady seemed pretty damn unhinged), it’s pretty messed up to let your kid cry for that long in a restaurant (if that’s even what happened). I added the last part. Let’s start with the parents.

http://www.thebadassbreastfeeder.com/8-tips-for-breastfeeding-with-boundaries
8 Tips for Breastfeeding With Boundaries. We talk a lot about breastfeeding on demand, so much that when I found myself breastfeeding a toddler I just kept right on doing it on demand! It wasn’t until I was pregnant and experiencing nursing aversion. And all kinds of touched out that I started to feel drained. I birthed my new baby and embarked on tandem nursing thinking it would all be cool and I could just breastfeed the whole damn family on demand. I was losing my mind. With my precious first born?

Normalize Breastfeeding - The Badass Breastfeeder
http://www.thebadassbreastfeeder.com/normalize-breastfeeding
That’s what made this conversation so hard. I learned this certain someone was not actually so keen on the whole breastfeeding thing. It came as a bit of a shock, as I’m nearing 2 years of BFing and this was news to me. I cried, I got mad, I criticized, I informed this individual of their ignorance. I was totally uncool about the whole thing. Photo credit to Le’mae Photography. Why does such a movement exist? Anyway, it’s been a few days since the conversation, and you know what? I get it now. I stil...

People who can’t read sarcasm are the antichrist - renegade mothering
http://www.renegademothering.com/2015/07/08/people-who-cant-read-sarcasm-are-the-antichrist
People who can’t read sarcasm are the antichrist. Did you see what I did there? I used sarcasm to explain how annoying it is when people can’t read sarcasm. Actually it was hyperbole but if I say “hyperbole” my joke won’t work and it’s humor above accuracy here, people.). The point remains: If you read that sentence and are now saying to yourself Well that’s offensive! My Christian sensibilities are officially. THIS POST IS FOR YOU. Somebody is fucking joking. In other words, you ruin everything. If a pe...
