"I'm an 'old mom.' Don't freak out, okay?" Becky Vieira writes today in a funny, thoughtful piece about the age gaps that can crop up out of nowhere between you and your kid's friends' parents. "For some reason, this is a term that makes people uncomfortable," she continues. "'You're not old,' they'll say, as if it's a subjective concept and not a fact. But I know what the birthdate on my driver's license says. We don't have to pretend that I'm not at least 15+ years older than some other parents in my son's class. I promise that it's okay!" It's worth a read, no matter which side of the generational divide you're on.
And hey, it's important to have cross-generational conversations about what we were ACTUALLY wearing in the y2k era, right?
You've probably heard about the Adderall shortage. Well, today we've got a piece from a mom whose kid is being hit hard by it: "He relies on his prescribed medication to focus his mind and calm his body to be successful in a learning environment. He also benefits from medication in social situations, sports, and other structured activities. So withholding it, randomly, for days at a time, feels so unfair to his little seven-year-old brain," writes Samm Davidson.
