Parenting magazines?

[SJ]

Does anyone subscribe to any parenting or family magazines that they would recommend?

Parents or Parenting? What's the difference? Or something better?

Thanks!

I get parents. It's okay for the $5.00. A quick read with some cute ideas if nothing else.
Otherwise it's been awhile since I've ran across one I really loved.
I guess I'll be checking back for ideas too.

Parenting has been discontinued.

My old favorites (Child and Cookie) have been discontinued. I subscribe to Parents but I don't think I really get anything out of it that I couldn't get from MMM. I used to subscribe to Brain, Child. I let it lapse because I wasn't getting around to reading it.

Helpful, huh? lol

I did have a subscription to Parents. I never really read it and didn't renew.

They send me Parents for free. I never read it.

I used to get Parenting, Child and Parents.

Of the 3, Parents was my least favorite- it felt like the content was on a 24 month rotation and after a while it felt like most of each edition was recyled material. That said, it seemed like Parents was the least infant/toddler centric of them.

Working Mother and Family Fun are good too.

Does your local library have a partnership with Zinio? I can check out issues of Parents and Family Fun on the app with my membership number.

I like Parents for a mindless read, like in the bathroom. But I agree there's not much substance there.

Are you sure this was free? Our financial advisor sent this to us after B was born... he might have done the same for you!

With that being said, DH is really good about reading it. I am not. But I like the Gymboree coupons
