This week, Diana Park is thinking back to her first days at college, when she met her best friend. She writes: "As the weeks passed and we settled into our new lives away from home, we discussed our moms a lot. My friend was incredibly homesick. It was apparent she had a robust support system at home. My feelings were the opposite: I was happy to be away from my mom and often wondered what it was like to have a mother like hers to miss."
It turns out she'd learn something very important from her BFF's mom, and now uses it in her own parenting. It's a charming piece, and a lovely way to kick off the week.
Seen the term "almond mom" popping up on your feeds lately? Arielle Tschinkel has the backstory: "One clip making the rounds will straight-up make you cringe. The moment in question is from a 2013 episode of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills', when then-castmate Yolanda Hadid told her then-teenage daughter, Gigi Hadid, to 'have a couple of almonds and chew on them really well' in response to Gigi mentioning she was 'feeling really weak' and had eaten 'half an almond.'" And people online are using the clip to unpack their own childhood experiences with diet culture. Check it out.
