Are you at your breaking point? The NY Times thought so, and let moms vent by calling in to a phone line where they could rant, complain, or just scream. They also followed three moms in different situations who are, frankly, not doing well. But they did also offer up some advice on how to get a better grip, so that's something. You can see the Times piece here.

We first posted this episode shortly after the 2016 election, and it's amazing (and scary) just how relevant it still is today, especially regarding Facebook. In fact, if you remove the references to the president-elect, we could have recorded the interview today. Our guest, Michelle Ciulla Lipkin, of the National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE), walks us through how to teach our kids to spot fake news and look for reliable sources, a skill that is still lacking.
