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.
For a show that’s not specifically “about” parenting, last Sunday’s episode of The L Word: Generation Q certainly gave us a lot about the relationships between parents and children. In fact, the theme of the episode might have been “What makes a good parent?”
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.
The first trailer for The L Word: Generation Q is here—and it’s already giving me parenting feels. As with the original series, I’ll be taking a close look at any and all storylines related to parenting, so let’s start with the trailer.
Moms Stef and Lena of Freeform’s The Fosters make their second guest appearance in spinoff show Good Trouble, in an episode that raises the question: What’s more awkward, bringing your lesbian moms to your conservative boss’ house for drinks or having dinner with your new girlfriend, your ex, and the ex’s new girlfriend? And what happened to Lena’s hair? It’s now rather … straight.
They graced our screen for five years as we watched them raise five children from tweens into adults. Now, Stef and Lena are back tonight with a guest appearance in spin-off show Good Trouble. Here’s a sneak peek.
Here’s the latest news to warm your heart or boil your blood—either way, it will keep you toasty in the polar vortex!
My family and I have been thoroughly enjoying the third and final season of Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, starring gay dad and actor Neil Patrick Harris—so I was thrilled to see Harris was on Late Night with Seth Meyers yesterday talking about both the show and his kids’ cameos in it.
The Fosters, Freeform’s drama about a two-mom couple and their five kids, ended last June—but with the premiere of Good Trouble on January 8, two of those kids, now grown, have their own chance to shine (although the first scene proves that their moms clearly didn’t teach them everything about U-Hauls).
