This week on Mom and Dad Are Fighting: What do you do when you catch your 17-year-old son messaging with a 25-year-old man on Tinder? https://t.co/WsG8tV5GtW
6/ Lastly, this interview w/ @boburnham, director of Eighth Grade, on how kids form identity is just lovely: "I think eighth grade is a time where your self-awareness is just flicked on like a light...You’re trying to build a parachute as you’re falling."

1/ 💕It's Friday and we're in love...with these stories we read this week!
First up, this @KA_Brooks piece on mothers who are criminalized for making perfectly rational parenting decisions is devastating and infuriating. https://t.co/5OhLRs4I6z
5/ The fact that 60 percent of women who get abortions in America are already mothers means we should reframe Roe v. Wade discussions away from the familiar battle lines of pro-choice vs. pro-family

Here is a new episode of Mom and Dad Are Fighting for you to listen to; we addressed the question of whether it’s OK to put your two-year-old in a T-shirt with a political slogan that he’s too young to endorse and for which he might get bullied https://t.co/VwrfDJEnwi
6/ And last but not least if you've got a kid who loves planes, trains and automobiles @gabrielroth's got some recommendations for non-aggravating toys.

1/ 🎶 It's Friday, Friday, everybody's looking forward to the weekend 🎶
Here's a few stories to read while you're trying to get that Rebecca Black song out of your head. First up, these writers' reminiscing on being 13 made us cringe for days.
