How to Make Parenting Less Lonely | Stacey McLachlan | TED
Keeping a social life after having a child is the problem behind TED's latest talk. Writer Stacey McLachlan refused to let becoming a parent mean drifting away from friends, a subject that brings the channel's big-idea format into the everyday business of making time for people.
It arrives as TED reaches 28 million subscribers, adding roughly 100,000 in a day, far beyond its usual daily gain. Views across the channel are also running well above their ordinary pace.
In "How to Make Parenting Less Lonely | Stacey McLachlan | TED," McLachlan draws on her experience after having her daughter to address what the description calls parenting's potentially loneliest decade. The talk was recorded at TEDxVancouver, as was another recent upload featuring relationship expert Amy Chan.
Chan's "Are Your Dealbreakers Sabotaging Your Love Life? | Amy Chan | TED" questions whether constantly looking for what could go wrong can keep people from finding connection. Her argument is that the right person may not match a dater's expectations.
The theme even reaches the dinner table in a recent Corner Piece short: host Sabrina asks Taha, Melissa and the audience whether letting a friend pay is accepting a gift or taking on an obligation.
