Hipster Parenting
Parents who don't want to give up smoking pot, going to rock concerts and staying up til dawn, but still want to be responsible caregivers, have a new Web community: Offsprung.
One of the founders is writer Neal Pollack, who has been doing the talk show circuit to promote his new book, Alternadad. The book explores the compromises he and his wife have had to make to be good parents but retain their coolness.
Offsprung has some fun links. I like The Cleaver, which has celebrity baby news (Courteney Cox is talking about getting plastic surgery on her post-baby abdomen!) and Lock The Bedroom Door, about maintaining a love life after you have kids. I also liked Dadsmacker, where I found this T-shirt, definitely an adorable takeoff on trendy baby-carriers. I wasn't too impressed with Ask Alternadad: What makes Pollack, the father of a four-year-old, an expert on parenting?
