We share a variety of your commemorations, which coincidentally seem to have a theme of gender expectations and parenting. They fit in right in with our main conversation in which we discuss the challenges of raising kids in the age of Kavanaugh, Trump, and the #metoo movement. Culture places all sorts of gendered expectations on our kids and we want to push back on some of them.  Recommended Resources: Renee's blog post about fostering refugee children Brett Kavanaugh and the problem of “himpathy” It's time to rethink how we are raising our boys (Cincinnati Enquirer article) "Boys will be boys."
