Welcome to the last mom and daughter fighting for 2023.

If you haven't heard, starting in 2024, we're going to be called Karen Feeding.

Don't worry, we will still be here figuring out how to raise the next generation and take care of ourselves while doing so.

You'll still

to bring you even more great advice from our colleagues across Slate.

So send your burning parenting questions to care and feeding pod at slate.com and look for
