What is Momspreading?
Mompsreading is about the absurdity and vulnerability of parenting, the ways we're all just trying to recreate or compensate for our own childhood, and casting off the albatross of the "ideal" parent. I use my background in child psychology and research to reimagine parenting expertise as actually building our parenting instincts, rather than guilting and misleading us into chasing an impossible (and, ahem, White, middle-class, American) dream.
In essays and interviews, Momspreading is the most memorable conversation you had at a party, that just happened to teach you some helpful stuff about parenting, and also you laughed so hard that you choked on a tortilla chip.
Also, I talk about other things: neurodiversity and ADHD, basketball, relationships, lady things.
Curiosity, brutal honesty, irreverence, information and opinions—but no “advice.
