In a State With #School #Vouchers For All, Low-Income Families Aren’t Choosing to Use Them
—
Working-class parents often express interest in vouchers. But in #Arizona, the nation’s school choice capital, these families aren’t using them due to the inaccessibility of private schools and the costs of #transportation, meals and uniforms.

It was at this point I realized she was probably smarter than me.
EVERY SINGLE DAY in parenting groups, I see posts that say "[family member] knowingly exposed us to an illness! What do I do?"
We literally learned AN ENTIRE SET OF SKILLS FOR HOW TO HANDLE THIS DURING A MULTI-YEAR PANDEMIC THAT NEVER ENDED.
But now that everyone is "back to normal," I guess they have amnesia about masks, pods, and explicit conversations about illness and exposures?

Every time you vent about parenting someone bursts in like the Kool-Aid man with "Have you tried..."
No.
Just stop.
So if you are on the struggle bus, let me bust in:
NO amount of gentle parenting, advice, regulation, meditation mindfulness, psychology, or any kind of mojo will make you a "good enough" parent to prevent your toddler completely losing the entirety of their shit about getting the wrong color cup.
Not your fault. There. Not. Your. Fault.
