Huzzah! The spring issue of True Parent magazine hits the streets today with more advice, news, harrowing true stories, and comedy. For those just joining us, True Parent is an antidote to those cutesy, unrealistic parenting magazines (whose sole purpose seems to be selling adorable diaper bags), and focuses primarily on the happiness and sanity of parents—instead of the kids (who tend to be happy if the parents are happy). Our focus is on the wide range of young, working class parents, celebrating their diversity, and assisting with the challenges they face. Here are just a few of the stories you’ll find in the new spring issue of True Parent magazine.
