Thank you to everyone who signed up for a paid membership in May! We raised $128.88 (after Substack and Stripe took their cuts), all of which will be donated to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. Thank you for helping us help moms in need.
A year ago, @laureneahmed.bsky.social wrote a pithy piece about the "sorry you married a loser, babe" phenomenon on social media. It's not great, babe! www.the-pom.com/p/someone-to...
Did you read Jenny Mollen's #boymom post? What did you think of it? Emotional enmeshment is the discussion topic at The Pom today--when do we cross the line from making a joke to being creepy? www.the-pom.com/p/lets-discu...
CONTENT CALL: Anticipating August, we're looking for school-themed essays at The Pom! We want to hear about the teachers who made a difference, the decisions you've agonized over, how you've handled bullying, a day in your life as a teacher or homeschool parent. Guidelines below. #callforsubmissions
I did *not* touch on this specific concept in the article, but as I was writing, I kept thinking of how @headoverhills.bsky.social put it: people are horrified at the idea of a child being spanked but somehow expect all children to behave as if they have been. www.the-pom.com/p/control-yo...
"The nostalgia we feel for a 90s childhood is a nostalgia for a specific moment in time: a time marked by freedom, simplicity, connection with people, and the ability to disconnect fully from the internet," writes @taylorschu.bsky.social. www.the-pom.com/p/was-mother...
"My children’s innocence feels so fleeting and so fragile, and yet it is one of the heaviest things I carry," writes @taylorschu.bsky.social in her debut essay for The Pom. Sign up as a paid subscriber today to read the whole thing tomorrow! All proceeds in May will go to centralpafoodbank.org.
Last Christmas I wrote a little satire piece about all the conflicting advice moms receive during the holidays, and today I wrote a follow-up for those moments when your child Acts Up and everyone has an Opinion on it. www.the-pom.com/p/control-yo...
