1105 on the Couch is where the day finally sits down.
Most parenting writing is about the daytime — the meals, the milestones, the meltdowns. This is a quieter corner, for the hour after the kids are asleep: the couch, a glass of water, and the thoughts that only show up once the house goes quiet.
Why 1105? Because in our house, that’s about when the last door closes and the couch is finally ours.
Here you’ll find real stories from parents across North America, the questions nobody warns you about, and small, honest ideas for the parts of parenting that don’t come with instructions. Some nights there is no good answer. We write about those nights too.
New pieces twice a week.
