Let’s start the new year with something light: a look at the parenting storylines from the most recent The L Word: Generation Q! This week’s episode raises the question: What does it really take to achieve work-life balance?
The parenting theme running through this past week’s episode of The L Word: Generation Q was how we parents sometimes need to do a better job of listening to what our kids really need from us.
A sweet new picture book is a conversation between a parent and child about how different types of families form—not by going into technical details, but by focusing on the parental promise that underlies them.
I’m just going to lean in to the fact that there were so many LGBTQ-inclusive kids’ books this year that I’m still working on full reviews for some of them. We’ll be a little book-heavy this week. Here’s a delightful tale about a family’s adventures by the seaside—a family that just happens to have two moms.

Kazoo Magazine, an award-winning publication for girls ages 5 to 12, features vogue dancer and LGBTQ advocate Leiomy Maldonado in its latest issue—one of the first times a transgender person has been featured in a children’s magazine.
Princess Puffybottom has a perfect cat’s life. She rules her household while her subjects—the two human women who live with her—take care of her every need. But a rambunctious new puppy threatens the peace of her realm—and could there be even more change on the horizon?
I’m delighted to be bringing back my regular recaps about parenting storylines in The L Word after more than a decade—this time, for The L Word: Generation Q. Here’s what happened parenting-wise in last Sunday’s episode. What did you think about it?
Fans of The L Word know that characters Bette and Tina had a child together; it probably wasn’t surprising to learn that their daughter, now a teen, would be a regular character in The L Word: Generation Q sequel. It turns out, though, that we’re also getting a new parenting storyline—with another old favorite character.
