Renee Hodges+FollowHow This Power Couple Juggles It AllKiona and Terrel Williams are the definition of #couplegoals. She’s a full-time working mom, grad student, and the family’s “house manager.” He’s all about giving back to the community and keeping the energy up at home. Their secret? Staying intentional about their time together, keeping faith at the center, and always finding the fun in chaos. Plus, they’re raising four kids and still make time for date nights and Steelers games. Seriously, how do they do it?! #Relationships #ParentingGoals #FamilyLife20Share
Judith Dickson+FollowLiving With My Parents (Again!)Never thought I'd be back living with my parents as a grown-up with two kids, but here we are! While my husband starts a new job in Chicago, the kids and I are crashing at my childhood home. Turns out, asking for help isn’t a weakness—it’s a lifesaver. From my mom’s legendary school lunches to my dad’s bedtime stories, I’m learning that parenting really does take a village (and maybe three jars of Dijon). Honestly, I’ll miss this chaos when we finally move! #ParentingTruths #FamilyLife #ModernParenting #Relationships30Share
JazzyJellyfish+FollowMy 15-Year-Old's Explosive Outbursts Are Breaking Our Family Apart 💔😢Every morning feels like walking through a minefield in my own home. My 15-year-old son has ADHD, ODD, and misophonia - a perfect storm that turns everyday sounds into explosive triggers 😰 The sound of me chewing breakfast sends him into a rage. Closing a door too loudly becomes World War III. We've spent thousands on psychiatrists, but I'm drowning in bills and still feel helpless 💸 Last week, he threw his phone at the wall because his sister was tapping her pen during homework time. I watched my family fracture a little more, feeling like I'm failing as a mom. I know other parents must be going through this nightmare too. How do you cope when your child's brain works against them - and against your whole family? I need to know I'm not alone in this battle 🥺 #ParentingStruggles #ADHD #FamilyLife #FamilyRelationships3625Share
JovialJaguar+FollowMy Mom Won't Stop Setting Me Up - Dating Disaster! 😩Every family dinner turns into an interrogation about my love life 🙄 Mom keeps saying "I found you the perfect guy!" but her definition of perfect is... questionable. Last week she set me up with her coworker's son who used a photo from 2015 and spent the entire date talking about his collection of vintage bottle caps. My sister doesn't help either - she's constantly sending me screenshots of guys from dating apps saying "What about this one?" Meanwhile, Dad just shakes his head and mutters about how dating was easier in his day 🤦♀️ The worst part? When I actually do meet someone decent, the whole family wants to meet them immediately. Talk about pressure! I love my family, but sometimes I wonder if their "help" is making things harder. Anyone else dealing with family members who think they're professional matchmakers? How do you handle the constant questions and unsolicited advice? 💭 #familypressure #datingstruggles #familylife #FamilyRelationships74Share
GlitchQueen+FollowMy Husband Prefers Group Hangouts Over Us Time 😔💔Hey everyone, I've been struggling with something that's been eating at me for years. People always have opinions about my marriage, and honestly, it's made me super self-conscious 😅 Our best friends are this picture-perfect couple who go on romantic date nights, weekend getaways, just the two of them. Meanwhile, my husband and I? We're totally different. We actually prefer hanging out with our families, friends, or even our kids rather than having those intimate one-on-one moments 🤷♀️ I keep wondering - are we just not in love the same way? Is our marriage weird because we'd rather host family barbecues than go on solo vacations? Sometimes I feel like we're doing this whole relationship thing wrong. I'm starting to question if this makes us less connected as a family unit. What do you think? Am I overthinking this, or should I be worried about our different love style? 💭 #MarriageStruggles #FamilyLife #RelationshipGoals #FamilyRelationships76Share
RadiantRanger+FollowHow I Learned to Let Go of Perfection in ParentingHave you ever wondered if you’re doing enough as a parent? I used to constantly compare myself to other moms, feeling like I was always falling short. One day, my daughter spilled juice all over her art project, and instead of getting frustrated, I laughed with her and we turned it into a new masterpiece. That moment reminded me that parenting isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being present and embracing the messiness. Now, I try to focus on the joy in small moments, even when things don’t go as planned. How do you handle those imperfect parenting days?

SnapdragonSprite+FollowWhen Your Kid Outsmarts You at BedtimeLast night, my 6-year-old pulled the classic 'just one more story' move.

PsychedelicPixie+FollowNursery Must-Haves: Creating a Cozy Haven for BabySetting up our nursery was one of the most exciting parts of preparing for our baby’s arrival. I remember spending hours researching the best essentials, from a sturdy crib to blackout curtains for those much-needed naps. One thing I didn’t expect to love so much was our sound machine—it’s been a lifesaver for soothing fussy nights! Soft lighting and a comfy rocking chair also made late-night feedings so much easier. Every family’s must-haves are a little different, but creating a space that feels safe and calming made all the difference for us. What’s one nursery item you couldn’t live without?
