“What boys and men really need is not more excuses and scapegoating, but rather honest and meaningful support as they confront the inevitable disruption of the patriarchal status quo.” -- @jordosh https://t.co/eB9IAOgAhJ https://t.co/MGhUOW6RJQ

How can I comb my daughters hair with out her crying hysterically every time?

So my daughter (2) has really curly hair I use detangling conditioner and dampen her hair. I also part it in small sections so it won’t hurt as much while combing out the tangles. Every time I comb it though she starts crying hysterically like she’s dying and it honestly makes me feel like a bad mother. It’s to the point I don’t even want to do her hair anymore.

If I could choose my favorite sound of having teens at home over #winterbreak it is the sound of me and my teens gathered together at home. The sound of comfort and contentment with the ones I love. @ExperBadMom https://t.co/qfgyWgm7sZ

“When it comes to stereotypical rhetoric about men and women, progressives and conservatives are more alike than dissimilar. Folks on both sides of political spectrum struggle to think beyond familiar conceptions of gender.” - @jordosh https://t.co/eB9IAOgAhJ https://t.co/1WMsfHcNjO

Toddlers are very conscious and aware, but their behavior isn’t. They have about as much self-control as my boy does when he’s sleepwalking, and like my son, they need us to handle their escapades confidently without getting angry. -@janetlansbury, #unschool

Would you let your kids play in a backyard late at night?

I have a boy(12) and girl(10) who are off on Christmas holidays. My mom lives with me. The kids were enjoying playing in the freshly fallen snow outside in a fully fenced in backyard at 10:30pm last night. My mom felt like I was being an irresponsible mother for letting them be out there so late. I don’t see the issue, they are old enough to know not to leave or to get us if any issue arises. We have a back door doorbell camera so I can see what they are doing at any moment. I’d like to think what others think, is letting pre-teens play outside late wrong to allow like my mom believes?

Make sure you know what you can't and can use during pregnancy. https://t.co/5yfydNgghD
