A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. Dana and Helen of Mombian cover an assortment of parenting items this week, including Mary Cheney's new job and the advantages of being a working mom with a Secret Service escort. They also caution viewers against repeating Tina's big faux pas if dating as a single mom, and attack the foolishness of the Mommy Wars a la Cashmere Mafia (and about a thousand news articles in the past few years). Can lesbian moms avoid being drafted?
A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. Dana and Helen of Mombian rant about "Evil Lesbian Moms," bemoan the Cashmere Mafia's tired storyline about sperm-seekin' lesbians, and tell you why in fact a show about two straight, philandering, male plastic surgeons--Nip/Tuck--has some of the most intriguing portrayals of lesbian parents on television. On a brighter note, they recommend a children's book series described as a cross between "Hello Kitty" and "Star Trek." It's sure to please young ones, but may also appeal to adults with an interest in graphic design and breaking gender stereotypes. Their four-year-old even offers a guest opinion! Plus gender-indeterminate penguins, lesbian-mom trivia, and wild unsubstantiated speculation about Leisha Hailey!

A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. Dana and Helen of Mombian.com celebrate their 30th vlog with a special edition on kids and video games, specifically, younger children and Web-based games. They're tackling this topic in conjunction with Angela and Tracy of Lesbiangamers.com, who will be doing an upcoming episode of Gay Girls Who Game that looks at older kids and other gaming systems. Dana and Helen share a slew of their favorite games, including some associated with TV shows and other mass-market products, as well as a bunch of independent games from places you might not expect. One show-based game even features an actor from the lesbian comedy 3Way, found at After Ellen. (Bonus points if you can guess who before watching the vlog.) They also discuss their philosophy of video games and the benefits and perils of letting young kids play. Plus: panda-goats and a reminder about Blogging for LGBT Families Day.
A vlog exploring the intersection of lesbian parenting and pop culture. This week, Dana and Helen use Jodie Foster's increasing openness about her personal life as an excuse to talk about why it's important for parents to be honest about their families. How does being out (or not) impact children's sense of self? How can it aid parents and children in everyday interactions? Are there circumstances when it's best not to be out? They also recommend a book that should be on the shelves of every LGBT parent (and their older children) to help children talk about their families on their own terms.
