From the Mouths of Babes

Honestbaby.com

One thing you can usually count on a kid for: to tell it like it is.

Parents, on the other hand, often tend to get a little too caught up in being perfect to blurt out the truth.

But what if we just started spilling? Renounce Ferber. Admit that Little League bores us to tears. Or that we really, really hate Elmo.

The world would probably keep spinning. Candid sharing of that ilk is the premise of honestbaby.com, a new site founded by a mother who was sick of the myth of perfect parenting. So she created a space where parents and caregivers can share stories and ideas about raising kids without feeling judged.

So moms and dads can exchange stories, offer advice, and learn, if nothing else, that there’s no such thing as a flawless parent.

Should you need further proof, just ask any kid.
