Welcome to MomBrain

Thinking about the stresses of society demanding 4-5 year olds are in club sports (t ball, soccer, gymnastics) when I am not ready as a mom to start that.

Need advice! My little Picasso scribbled pen all over my car with a very heavy hand. I’ve tried alcohol, vinegar and acetone(nail polish remover) and it’s not making a difference. Anyone deal with this before and had any luck?

Healthy snacks. What are you feeding your kids that they actually will eat?

Easy activities that doesn’t require a lot of prep to get them away from the screen.

My daughter is in high school and is a great student and she's happy. She's not super social but has a few close friends. Those of you that have older kids that weren't overly social, how are they doing as young adults?

How often are you and your partner having sex? Just wondering if we're "normal"

We're experiencing secondary infertility and I think we are forced to be done having kids-before i'm ready. How do I come to terms with this? It's really hard, the grief is intense.

What did you have for dinner last night? need ideas. TIA!!!

I vowed to not over commit my kids (and myself) and here I am. I feel like if they're not in activities then they get behind. What's the secret here?

How to raise grateful children while giving them everything they need? I feel it's such a balance. Entitlement seems like an epidemic where we live

Trying to instill some sort of responsibility and accountability in my kids (8, 5, 3). I don't have the bandwidth for much but I'd really like to try and get this house in order. What have you had success doing with your kids?

I feel bad. I'm just so tired, not in the mood, and don't want to be touched. I know it's probably my hormones but please give me some practical tips to help me get back to "it" a little more regularly

What specific study habits or routines can I help my teenager develop to support their academic success and motivation? He comes across as very unmotivated and I cannot keep nagging him. It's not good for either of us.

My 2.5yr old refuses to potty in the potty. She can hold it, let's us know when she needs to go potty but will not potty in the toilet. I feel like we've tried everything. What are we missing???

How do I manage my own expectations as a parent? To be honest, this isn't exactly how I thought parenthood would be

When do you know it’s time for professional help with your child who has big emotions and has a hard time coping with them? Specific age? Etc? I'm really feeling lost

I don’t love a few of my daughters friends. They have older siblings and know more than the avg elementary schooler and we have different parenting strategies from their parents. How far do we step it? What’s an appropriate way to handle this situation?

Wanting to feel like “me” again and carving our real time to get back to myself

What age do play dates begin where both parents don’t have to be present (ie. One mom or dad drops to another who watches both)

How often should you have a one on one date with a child if he or she has siblings? We know it's important but so hard to fit it all in. And it seems like my daughter cannot get enough one on one attention from us. It's hard to fill her cup
