Some details about how the paywall works at the-pom.com

submitted 14 days ago • 0 comments

I have been thinking about this a lot lately, because of the reasons Lauren writes about but also in terms of Internet safety. We do our kids no favors by acting like the net is forbidden fruit & not giving them the tools to navigate it. It's like they combined DARE with a way to guilt trip moms.

"I love having my own place in a sibling set, but when I think back to my childhood, it’s peppered with memories in which my parents proved to me that I existed as an individual too." As the eldest of 5 who now often feels stretched thin as a mom, I loved this essay. www.the-pom.com/p/you-have-m...

I am a know it all so rarely do I read an essay that stops me in my tracks and makes me think differently about my own life and kids. But this one did it - some of the best writing on rest and the toddler days I’ve ever seen. Your lunchtime read, I suggest?

I love reading @sarahradz.bsky.social s writing because it always feels like what I’m thinking, only repackaged to be perfectly spoken. I think this found me today for a reason, given the week I (we?) are all probably having as parents … www.the-pom.com/p/giving-up-...

This resonates with me so, so very much. I laughed so hard at “he could never fully consume the amount of Train his brain wanted and that made a small part of him burn with rage.” And the sudden disappearance of those things is why I always weep at things like Inside Out. And lots of other things.

So actually what comes next is ME. My first essay is running tomorrow and I'm so excited The Pomegranate is publishing my work even though my friends and I invented The Pom with our bare hands, does that make sense?
