Introducing the Offspring
Welcome to Offspring: a site for parents, prospective parents, parent friends, or baby souls who just enjoy reading about mixing baby food techniques or times tables tricks (no judgment here). Offspring is a treasure trove of wisdom, time-saving, good ideas and ingenious Lifehacker tricks that will make caring for and feeding your kids – be they helpless knots, wispy teenagers, or anything in between – not only easier, but really kind. pleasant.
“Why do we need hacks for parents?” you can ask. Who, besides a parent, needs more practical advice that will help make life easier, get things done faster, how to teach a child to brush their teeth without resorting to threats?
Being a parent today means being overwhelmed with so many well-intentioned, conflicting words of wisdom, and fearsome claims that it could cause paralysis. From the very beginning to the very end, you are subject to the general opinion: now less than 60 years old – your child should be in mittens! You must take care of this child! Feeding in a month is just window dressing! What do you mean, your kindergarten is not reading yet? Wait, is your child not fluent in three languages? Someone should tell your teen to shave off that ridiculous mustache, and that’s me! Everywhere you turn, you will come across swear words that think that “belly time” is a conspiracy created by the liberal media, or that vaccines lead to excessive insolence. Too often, you are associated with this person.
What will you find in the offspring
Smart, practical ideas on how to make your life a hell of a lot easier. You will find the best way to hold, burp, and swaddle your baby based on scientific evidence. Use of other manufacturers for Lego, pacifiers and napkin warmers. Really helpful ways to talk to kids about big (Why Jared Kushner?) And small (That’s why we use deodorant). Important advice without any nonsense on how to end food picky, beat the bullies on the playground, and successfully complete The Conversation.
What you won’t find in offspring
We are committed to not showing celebrity photos as “baby bumps” – we swear we will never even use the term “bump”. There will be no essays on how we should enjoy every hug, hymns of praise to the miracle of parenting, or ranting about the horrors of parenting. Not that these things have no place, but Offspring is a very important part of Lifehacker, that is, to a greater extent it is about service, about finding smart solutions that will make your life easier, more efficient, and better.
Offspring initially subscribes to Samsung, and while we’re happy to support them, this fact will not in any way affect the content you find on the site. Our editorial team has not and will not contact them, and Offspring’s coverage, like Lifehacker, is strictly an editorial matter – what we cover and how we cover it is independent of the site’s business relationship.
The site is in its infancy (uh-huh) right now, but in the coming weeks and months we are going to evolve and grow. We may go through a few awkward steps, but under your guidance, we’ll be the site you’ve always hoped for. We will make you proud.
