By Meg Walter| Deseret News Verified To be a parent who spends any time on the internet in 2025 is a stressful experience. Far too often I run into posts that condemn babies crying on airplanes or toddlers watching iPads in restaurants or children simply existing in society. It makes parenting in public feel extra daunting because one wrong move and me and my children could be the subject of a Reddit thread.
By Meg Walter| Deseret News Verified Last week, we said goodbye to my grandmother, Janice Allred Datwyler, whom her family called Grandma Jan. Grandma Jan was a huge part of my life. I grew up only 10 minutes from her house in Provo, Utah, the same house my mom, her brother and her three sisters grew up in. The whole extended family would gather often in her home for Sunday dinners prepared by the best cook I've ever known. We never left her house hungry. I don't remember an important event in my life that Grandma Jan was not a part of.
