And more guidance from NYT Parenting.
| A roundup of new guidance and stories from NYT Parenting. |
The No. 1 piece of marriage advice I give to my friends is: Marry someone who is nicer than you are. In an ideal world, it means that over time, your natural edges will be sanded down by their kindness. |
For Priyanka Mattoo, it took a pandemic to get her to be nicer to her husband, because as she put it: Criticism is her love language, and the quarantine has forced her to express all the warmness she truly feels toward him. It’s not easy for her — she’s “like a freshman stuttering through my first conjugations” when she gives compliments — but she’s working on it, and needless to say I found this essay relatable. |
In coronavirus news, we have a piece about how to make your children treat you like they treat their teachers, and another one about whether summer camp is going to be canceled across the country — and your chances of getting your money back if it is. God bless Tina Nacrelli, a mom of three in New Jersey, who told our reporter Melinda Wenner Moyer that if no in-person camps are available, she would create her own virtual option. “It’s called Minecraft,” she said. |
Finally, we wanted to show you our new section for handy bookmarking! The NYT Parenting site has migrated here, and you can find everything we’ve ever run. |
We’re also collecting stories about the experiences of pregnant essential workers. If you’re pregnant and still working outside your home, drop us a line here. |
P.S. Today’s One Thing comes from our friends in Styles. Art recreation challenges are proliferating across Instagram while museums are closed; you and your kids can riff on famous paintings (and take a virtual tour of New York’s museums). |
P.P.S. Listen to Together Apart, a new podcast from The New York Times about ways to creatively gather, even while we have to be apart. This week’s episode is about what a baby shower can look like during a pandemic. |
