I’m starting off this week with some professional news: After editing HuffPost’s relationship coverage for the past decade, I’m now also overseeing HuffPost Parents. I’d like to thank my two kids for preparing me for this new role 🤪 For any readers who are parents, I wanted to spotlight a new series we launched this month called Enjoy The Ride. It really embodies my new vision for HuffPost Parents. To sum it up: There’s so much information out there about how to be a “good” parent — Instagram, blogs, books, you name it. Some depict parenthood as martyrdom, in which giving all of yourself to your kids is expected and celebrated. Others fixate only on the hard stuff, beckoning parents to wash down their stresses each night with a massive glass of wine. No doubt, raising good kids in this world is hard work. But I want to help parents figure out how to handle the tough moments of raising children while also enjoying these short years when the kids are little. And that’s what this new series is all about.
