I love reading about all the things people think they’re going to do as parents before they actually have any kids. The fantasy of it all. Especially screen time bc it’s complicated! My latest for ⁦ @TheCut ⁩

Shut Up About My Kid’s Screen Time

Talking about how you’ll parent someday is one thing. Surviving a kid’s tantrum so bad you question every choice you’ve ever made is another.
