You probably thought parenting was just about raising a baby to become an adult, right? In theory, yes… and that’s more than enough work in itself. But plenty of people find themselves “parenting” their own parents — and, in the case of one reader, their in-laws, too. Other things on moms’ minds this week include life-threatening food allergies, the struggle to quit smoking, and the mix of gratitude and anxiety that comes with expecting your fourth kid under 4. Read on for the full roundup.
