I’m In My Potted Plant Parenting Era & It Sure Feels Weird ([link removed])

“You’re warned about a lot of ages and stages as a parent — the terrible twos and the threenager years and of course the craziness of the actual teenage years,” writes Holly Garcia. “You know going into this gig that as your kids get older, they’ll step into their independence more and more and lean on you less and less.

The problem is there are tons of Halloween movie options. So, if you want to maximize all of your Halloween feels this year, choose a Halloween movie based on your zodiac sign. Honestly, you might be surprised at the one for you.” Let’s get into it!
