The Wholehearted Parenting Manifesto by Brene Brown on Huffington Post. “Our need for certainty in an endeavor as uncertain as raising children makes explicit “how-to-parent” strategies both seductive and dangerous. I say “dangerous” because certainty often breeds absolutes, intolerance, and judgment. That’s why parents are so critical of one another –we latch on to a method or approach and very quickly our way becomes the way. When we obsess over our parenting choices to the extent that most of us do, and then see someone else making different choices, we often perceive that difference as direct criticism of how we are parenting. Ironically, parenting is a shame and judgment minefield precisely because most of us are wading through uncertainty and self-doubt when it comes to raising our children.”

An Invisible Thread by Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski

Poorly constructed and, at its best, C+ writing. Yet the story is so heartwarming that you can’t help but read it from end to end.

Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, by Jenny Lawson

I laughed a lot, but would not recommend it to your grandma.
