Parenting- Boston Moms

In an ideal world, parenting would be effortless, with a guide for every situation. However, we all know that’s not the reality. Each child is unique, requiring special love, care, and nurturing. So, without a parenting manual, what can you do? That’s where Boston Moms comes in. Our team consists of more than 40 contributors from different backgrounds and family structures, bringing a diverse range of experiences from various walks of life and parenthood.

Parenthood is an amazing journey, filled with challenges and beautiful moments. The anticipation and mixed emotions during pregnancy mark the beginning of this transformative experience. The newborn phase brings sleepless nights and countless diaper changes, but oh, the incomparable joy of witnessing your baby’s first smile! As your little one blossoms into a curious toddler, the journey transforms into a whirlwind of managing tantrums, fostering independence, and cherishing their first words and wobbly steps. The school years unveil a whole new spectrum of challenges, as you navigate the delicate balance between academics, extracurricular activities, and the intricate world of social development. And as the teenage phase unfolds, their identity takes shape, boundaries are established, and the need for open communication becomes paramount. Every stage of motherhood, though it can be tough, strengthens the unbreakable bond between a mom and her child.

Our goal at Boston Moms is to be there for you during every stage of parenthood, offering resources and support. Whether you need guidance or just someone to be there, we want to walk alongside you in your parenthood journey.

Since when did child care become more expensive than college? We live in Brookline and pay $26,000 a year for daycare for our 2-year-old daughter. Let that sink in. $26,000! That’s the cost for a no-frills, middle-of-the-road, medium-size day care center. $26,000! That’s...
I’m pretty sure I used to be cool. I ran with the popular crowd in high school. I read Seventeen magazine. I went to parties. In college, my friends and I went on crazy road trips. We blew our minimum-wage...
I am working mom and am proud of it! Last month I posted about the things that suck about being a working mom — all true feelings, but a bit negative. Now I want to share all the reasons why being a working...
As we count down the weeks until baby number two joins us, my husband and I have been reminiscing about the newborn days. You know, that cute, squishy phase where all they do is eat, sleep, poop, pee, repeat? No toys,...
I'm angry. I'm sad. I'm disappointed. I'm mad. This Bill Cosby news is awful. I remember car trips with my parents and brother. We listened to cassette tapes of Bill Cosby's stand-up comedy. The humor made the car trips more...
It was 9:15 a.m., I hadn’t slept in eight hours, and my 5-month-old had just projectile spit up all over me. Just as I pulled a clean shirt over my head, he had a blowout diaper. Up to his neck....
