Gaining a Sixth Sense: Top 10 Parental Mistakes
We’ve talked a lot about this week there being multiple ways to raise a child, but when push comes to shove there are some mistakes that are made all the time and here are the most common…Read the rest at exploringadulthood.com...
The Polar Opposite Styles of ‘The Goldbergs’
A show that never fails to make me to cry is The Goldbergs. Yes, the show that’s a total throwback to the ’80s that features homages to Star Wars, New Kids on the Block and Double Dare. It gets me every week with the sentimental ways of the family, especially when it comes to the parents. Read the rest at exploringadulthood.com...
Future Spawn Planning
Yesterday Jason shared that the way his parents raised him led him to do things completely different when he found himself a father eight years ago. Me on the other hand, I would definitely take a page from my mother’s parenting handbook. A single parent who raised three kids in her lifetime, and even took on other kids from time to time – she was very hands off. She insured we had the essentials but she never really got into our personal lives too much believing it was our lives to live. Yeah, there are times you wish you had a parent that would sit down and listen but then you see parents who are actually like that and it makes you shiver. Read the rest at exploringadulthood.com...
The Guardian of Future Generations
Growing up Jason C. never wanted kids, but he met a girl who was destined for motherhood and once he hit the big 3-0, he found himself a father. When you become a parent, all you really know is what you learned from your own. With that you either continue with what they did, or run like hell away from their ways and create your own because you’d rather not screw your kid up. Jason decided he had to do almost everything the opposite of what his parents had done with him and today he’s happy with the results as he watched his eight-year-old son continue to grow.

Gaining a Sixth Sense: The Parental Responsibility
There is something about parents, good parents anyways, that freaks me out. It’s that innate sixth sense they have about their children. The way they can be focused on a conversation in the grocery store, but somehow know their kid is climbing the shelves two rows over to attain an unreachable treat. It’s like something happens hormonally in your body when you are going to have kids that winds up impacting you mentally. Of course not all people who spawn have this. I know people who have created mini humans who are the least parental in the world, but for the most part a lot of people I see are doing what they can because in the end – there is no ideal when it comes to raising a child.

Bun in the Oven: Top 10 Weird Pregnancy Facts
Pregnancy is already one of the weirdest, but most natural parts of human life but just when you think you knew the oddest things about it – there’s more. Here are some of the freakiest…Read the rest at exploringadulthood.com...
Almost a Year of Alien Takeover
The only pregnancy I’ve ever really seen the ins and outs of was my own mother’s when she was carrying my brother. One of the most memorable moments was a day when she made me skip school to go to doctors appointment with her, and they had to stick a giant Q-tip in her…well, you can guess where it had to go. Five-years-old, I rolled around on the floor laughing. 29-years-old, I sit here squeamish. Read the rest at exploringadulthood.com...
Bun in the Oven: Nine Months to Life
There are those who don’t want kids flat out and we talked about that variety pack last week. Now we’re moving on to those who actually go through with bringing a new life into this world. Of course there’s always adoption and if there were more time on a calendar, we’d open that up because that’s personally what I’d always wanted to do if given the means – but alas we’re going to talk about the more natural way of having kids. Which of course means getting knocked up and going through the whole pregnancy thing. Read the rest at exploringadulthood.com...
No Kids Allowed: Top 10 Things You Can Do If You Don’t Have Them
We’ll get to the joys of being a parent next week but before we do, we have to shine a light on some of the things that you can do more of when you choose not to bring a child into this world. Read the rest at exploringadulthood.com...
You Were Born an Adult?
My biggest problem with people who seem to flat out hate kids is that they act like they were never young at all in their entire life. Like oh, you came out your mom with a 401k and a mature attitude towards life? Okay, I don’t think so because I know some pretty immature adults out there who have a disdain towards children. So I can’t imagine they were that grown all their lives. That’s not to say that some people can be telling the truth when they present that factoid about themselves, but I’d be willing to call bullshit on at least 99.9% of them because kids are supposed to be horrible. It’s in their DNA. We’re supposed to be some level of a monstrosity growing up because we lack the common sense not to be. Hell, even though I was a pretty quiet kid who favored playing alone to being a part of a large, loud group – I would never say I wasn’t a brat. I threw my fair share of fits back in the day…throughout college and even some today. So I could never say I hate kids because they’re a nuisance because I was once one myself and have not forgotten that. Read the rest at exploringadulthood.com...
Born Without the Need to Spawn
Little girls are often given dolls in order to place some sort of thought into their heads that a baby is what they should strive to have one day. For Denise, it was just a toy and she just played with it when her friends were around, never giving it much thought. She admits that the biological clock others her age speak of must’ve never developed inside her because she doesn’t feel like she’s missing out by not having kids right now, and she is firm believing that she will never yearn to be someone’s mother because when you boil it down – she just doesn’t care all that much for kids. In fact, she didn’t even like them when she was one of them. That’s where we started this and along the way we talked about the stigma people like her face, if she likes kids even a little and more.

No Kids Allowed: The Anti-Procreation Generation
We’re here, the final month of topics and really the last chapter I think you hit in many books on adulting; kids. In a bit of a twist though we’re starting out with a week talking about not wanting kids. Despite the flood of baby pictures on Facebook and Instagram, some people are not into that world – at all. This of course is because of a variety of reasons. Some just loathe kids, others don’t feel they have that nurturing gene and some people like me…we’re a bit selfish.

Finding Love in a Loveless Place
All around me growing up were families with two parents. Every friend I had growing up had a mom and dad at home. Even my cousins whose parents were legit addicts had both of them at home. They’re clean now by the way, but the point is is that I had a lot of marriages around me, but was lacking one in my own home. My dad was married to someone else when he knocked up my mom, and they didn’t seem to think they should be together when he then got her pregnant six years later with my brother…oh well, they taught me that sometimes it’s better to just be friends with those you mated with than to actually live under the same roof. Nevertheless, i grew up never having that importance of marriage shoved in my face. Read the rest at exploringadulthood.com...
The Communication of a Lengthy Marriage
Being 14 means dealing with the tail end of puberty, learning algebra and realizing that soon enough high school will be a reality. For Maria Gorman it was about all of that, and meeting the guy who would wind up being the man she would be engaged to only five years later. While they’re a good looking family with a strong marriage and two kids, she admits it’s not all great all the time, “It isn’t all rainbows and butterflies. We struggled a lot not with each other but with life experiences.” Read the rest at exploringadulthood.com...
Unaltered Lifestyles After the Alter
One of the first people to hear about this blog/project was Brooke Segarra. She’s a friend I’ve never met face to face, but someone admirable I’ve come to know over the years thanks to blogging about this and that because she too is a writer as well as a publicist. Anyways, when she told me she’d actually gotten married at 22, I knew she was the person to ask about this week’s topic and what she had to say surprised me.

The Guests: Friendships While Married
Doree Lewak wrote of being single in The Panic Years and said of your 20’s and 30’s, “…that period in your life where everyone is getting married and you’re well, still single.” So it’s all about how you have to deal with being the single friend, but married people have to deal with that dynamic change as well once they’re married. So single people, don’t just think your friend’s wedding affects you. Once you’re married, you’re not just two people casually dating anymore. You’re a damn pair and with that, friendships can be a little weird. Are your friends now suddenly his friends, or do you keep the two separate? Read the rest at exploringadulthood.com...
