Plus, more stories from Popsugar's Playroom destination.

Parenthood can be stressful, but it's also full of joy. Today, the Popsugar newsletter is your space to feel seen, find community, and celebrate your wins. You deserve it. How "Type C" Became the Cool-Mom Parenting Style You've likely heard of type A parents before: they're the ones who have color-coded family calendars and a strong stance against screen time. You've also likely heard of type B parents, too: they don't enforce bedtime or curfew, and they don't care whether their child eats the broccoli on their plate. But there's a new wave of parenting on the rise that is a perfect blend of both. Welcome to the world of type C parents.   It's the kind of parenting where you might show up to a birthday party on time, but your kid might be missing a shoe. You might allow your child to eat candy, but only if it has five ingredients or less.   Instead of following rigid routines or a parenting plan the people in their mommy Facebook group recommended, type C parents tend to be more flexible and willing to embrace the chaos. And this method certainly has its benefits. Read More More Parenting Stories A collection of stories about family, curated by our editors.
