Reddit is not real life: kids on airplanes
Just discovered my 2 year old can read!? Is that normal
My daughter is seven now. I wish someone had told me this when she was a newborn.
Do you allow your children to decorate the home?
Our daughter got "most dramatic" award in JK 😂

My husband tried to initiate sex while our daughter was asleep in bed with us. He justified it. Am I wrong for feeling gross about it?
saw this post again, and i feel its true
We had 3 meltdowns before 7am and I’m sitting in my truck wondering if I’m doing any of this right.
What is the most unexpected cost of having children?
