At the end of 2011, I wrote about my Top Overshare Tips For 2012, and number one was “If You’re Going To Mommyjack, Don’t Let It Be A Deathjack.” Fast-forward 18 months later, and I’ve got myself a folder crammed full of deathjacking submissions. Does no one listen to me?! More
Breastfeeding politics are considerably loaded topics to discuss with strangers and relatives for good reason. A mother’s choices surrounding the boob are highly charged — with a never receding group of individuals who feel completely entitled to school you. And now that conversation includes Neanderthal moms — or rather one Neanderthal mom. More
Celeb ladies who happen to be mommies get pretty much asked the same questions in interviews — most of which are variations on these two inquiries 1). Aren’t you panicked as shit about aging? 2). What’s it like to be a mommy? Luckily, Julianne Moore recognizes how lame it is to repeatedly ask actresses about these same novel topics. More
I’m completely jealous of one of my two best friends, who was a teen mom, and had her son at age 17. I met her in university when her son was a toddler. Her son has just graduated four years of a hard-ass business school and has landed his first “adult” job. My friend, now only 41, works as an editor-in-chief at a very well respected magazine and pretty much has her entire life back. She IS having the time of her life. More

Since I’m still pregnant, I’ve been watching her baby while she has classes. We trade off on cooking, start a garden, our husbands like each other, and so far so good, right? RIGHT? No problems in sight! We’ve known each other a long time. We are like sisters. More

I don’t believe in warning my sons about “wayward women.” I warn them about being decent people and treating women with respect and how not to act like assholes. I warn them about hanging around assholes who are bullies or creeps or who get trashed and drive or who take drugs and how they don’t want to be having sex with girls until they are ready to be parents.

It’s not just about being smart. The Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerbergs – and now add David Karp to the list – of the world are brilliant, of course, but more importantly they are extremely hard-working, focused, ambitious and self-motivated. Nothing in their lives is more important than what they are creating. These outward expressions and actions are the only tell-tale signs that traditional school might not be necessary. More
Teens hate Facebook so much that they refuse to delete their accounts, but are using other social media websites like Tumblr, Instagram and Twitter in futile attempts to escape the boring old people (I’m looking at you, parents) that are harshing their social media experience. More

When I was nine years old I was so shy I could barely give my order at McDonalds, let alone speak to a crowd of thousands of on-lookers. But that is just what Asean Johnson, a Chicago student, did earlier this week at a rally protesting the possible closing of more than 50 schools in the city.
