“From Story Time to Stress Relief: How AI Is Reshaping Modern Parenting.” ABC News, ABC News Network, 21 July 2025, abcnews.go.com/GMA/Family/ai-parenting/story?id=123843563.
This article discusses the ways that parents are using AI to ease the load of parenting. By using AI to help make decisions and organize their days, they are able to take some of the stress off themselves and eliminate decision fatigue. This frees them up to be more present with their children, enhancing their overall parenting. Many pushback at the stigma that using AI for parenting is outsourcing the work. Parents say it helps them make space or free up time instead of replacing actual parenting. AI does not have parental instinct and still hallucinates. Even with that, it helps parents to think and problem solve.
This was a good read that showed how AI can help with everyday things. I have used it in this way, and it definitely can save time and take off some of the stress that comes from managing so much. It is fair to say that perhaps, we expect too much of parents and we need to reevaluate position that parenting plays in our society. While we have those important conversations, it is nice to have a bit of assistance in the daily chaos.
