This week several LWONians had kids on the brain.
Guest poster Divya Abhat wondered how to curb her kid’s screen time . . . and her own.
Erik waxed nostalgic about the good old days, when packing for an adventure involved grabbing a fistful of carabiners, not a fistful of diapers.
And I scanned my daughter’s junk-food-filled daycare menu and then promptly freaked out. Since when is tater tot casserole appropriate fare for one year olds?
Meanwhile, Helen and Ann sat on a porch in the heat and drank mint lemonade, a liquid so refreshing it can also be used as a salve for unhappiness.
And Jessa discussed the misinformation and untruths that get lodged in people’s brains. Last week many news outlets reported that the Bering Strait theory of human migration had been debunked. Not so, writes an exasperated Jessa. It was all a misunderstanding.
