What we’re reading today:

1. Daycares are getting not so day. Shift-working parents need child care too!

2. A mom who always insisted on reading strong female-hero books to her girls and insisted family members compliment her daughters’ intelligence as much as their cuteness is horrified to find out her 7-year-old considers herself to be fat.

3. Now that he has a daughter, Jay-Z says he’ll never use the word “bitch” again. Um, didn’t Tracy Jordan on 30 Rock already learn this lesson? So, Jay-Z learns a lesson after Tracy Jordan?? At least he’s better than Lil Wayne. #everythingrelatesbackto30rock

4. In defense of extravagant birthday parties.

5. Kids cover Florence and the Machine. PS22 Chorus is so, so awesome.

1. It’s OK to have/be a momma’s boy.

2. World’s largest back-to-school party? Sounds good! Let’s go to the Ex.

3. Doctors do not recommend boxing for kids. You know, just FYI. Something to do with learning to hit others in the head.

4. Armour in which girls could reasonably expect to kick ass. (There ain’t no gold bikinis here)
