In honor of St. Valentine, Cupid and all the love, we offer up a hard look at some parent love this week in What They're Babbling About.
Wondering what a parent who has adopted thinks the hardest part of parenting is? Being told she's not the child's "real mother." Rita Laws puts the obnoxious and ill-informed in their place with a break-down of the different kinds of parents. For the record, she's a real one. - Family Bliss
The Observer's Rachel Cooke thinks parents who write about their kids are boring, smug and selfish. Guess what, Ms. Cooke, Babble's own Catherine Connors offers us up a piece of her mind on behalf of all of us who dare care about motherhood. Rock on Catherine! - Her Bad Mother
Think your parents loved your little sister more? You might be right - the youngest ALWAYS gets away with more. - ParentDish
Recess might be on its way out, but Moms and Dads still hold a fond place in their hearts for hopscotch. - Parent Dish
But while they're skipping down the pavement, they're not skipping out on birth control. Turns out there are a lot fewer illegitimate children out there. Think one in twenty-five kids born out of wedlock. - Jezebel
Keri Fisher's Kitchenista posts here on Strollerderby have gotten your mouths watering, so how about something for the little monkeys? Monkey bread makes for a sweet family treat this Valentine's weekend - Dancing Meatballs
