 Brian Gordon is a cartoonist. He's also a dad, which means he's got plenty of inspiration for the parenting comics he creates for his website,  Fowl Language (not all of which actually feature profanity). He covers many topics, but it's his hilarious parenting comics that are resonating with parents everywhere.  "My comics are largely autobiographical," Gordon tells me. "I've got two kids who are 4 and 7, and often, what I'm writing happened as recently as that very same day."

And I can assure you, her ‘discipline’ was as bad as dad’s. Why? Because a child isn’t scared of the...

If this is how you’re disciplining your kids, you’re parenting wrong

Parenting is often sold to child-free people as the most satisfying experience one could have in life. It’s supposed to provide them with a greater sense of meaning because after becoming a parent, every day is filled with little miracles.
Many parenting influencers, with their picture-perfect lives, obedient children and immaculate houses, will have you believe the same thing.
However, reality is a lot different. The problem is that it’s taboo for parents to admit that raising children can be boring, repetitive, stressful, agonizing, and unfulfilling. So many parents who feel this way think that they’re the problem and in the minority, when many of them feel exactly the same way.

A multistate salmonella outbreak linked to cucumbers has sickened 449 people across 31 states and Washington, D.C., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The outbreak, involving Salmonella Africana and Salmonella Braenderup infections, has led to 125 hospitalizations, but no deaths have been reported so far.
