When I hear a mom badmouthing her kid's dad right in front of the child, I cringe. Literally. I can feel my face turning into a grimace, and I draw back my shoulder blades. So I was pleasantly surprised when I was watching Teen Mom 2 recently and heard Chelsea Houska talking about her ex-boyfriend, Adam Lind.

Notice I said "pleasantly." Chelsea has had her fair share of problems with her good-for-nothing ex, enough that she deserves her time to rant about him. But she's also made it quite obvious that she's aware little Aubree deserves a relationship with her dad.

Everybody say, “Awww!” In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, Shaun Robinson caught up with powerhouse singer Alicia Keys about her Set the World on Fire tour and, maybe more importantly, her son’s love life.

Keys’ 2-year-old son with husband Swizz Beatz seems to have a little crush on Blue Ivy, the toddler daughter of fellow music sensations Beyonce and Jay-Z. When asked if “little Egypt” had a crush on her, Keys laughed and said, “Someone has a crush on someone. That’s for sure.”

Tina Fey is one of the coolest moms on the planet. It's not just because she created one of the coolest shows in TV history (30 Rock) or the fact that everything that comes out of her mouth leaves us ROFLOL. No. We LOVE the fact that she tells it like it is. Take her action plan for when sweet, 7-year-old daughter Alice turns into a moody teen: "When she one day turns on me and calls me a Bitch in front of Hollister, Give me the strength, Lord, to yank her directly into a cab in front of her friends, For I will not have that Shit. I will not have it," she wrote in her bestseller Bossypants. Gotta love it. Every mom to a future eye-rolling, midriff-baring girl can relate! Now starring in Admission (in theaters March 22), she cracks us up as a college admissions counselor who meets an applicant that may be the son she gave up for adoption. Tina sat down with The Stir to chat about her new role and share more on life in Mommywood. Check it out.

Because you're never too young for leather: Sarah Jessica Parker and her twins were seen sashaying about the city in matching leather jackets. Mama like! I never thought you could work lime green striped leggings, a flowered skirt, and purple Mary Janes with a motorcycle jacket. But you can -- you just have to be a preschooler to pull it off.

Are these sweet little girls too young for such a "rough" look? Is this ... APPROPRIATE?!? Is SJP projecting her fashion fantasies on her helpless daughters? Nahhh, especially the way she's styled it. The jackets are cheeky, but thanks to the rest of the girls' outfits, they're still very much dressed like little girls. And since all three of them are in leather jackets, the matchy-ness of it is just plain adorable!

You'll never guess who was voted Celebrity Mom of 2012! It's ... oh, you guessed: Jennifer Garner. Got it on the first try, too! Probably because, well, of course Jennifer Garner got voted celeb mom of the year. The 40-year-old actress has 3 adorable kids (Violet, Seraphina and baby Samuel). Literally every photo ever snapped of the family show them doing something wholesome and fun and enriching that makes the whole lot of them smile their big, dimpled smiles and laugh and frolic and AWWWW. So, congrats to Garner on the prestigious award! And to her runner-up, Reese Witherspoon.

Seriously, I don't begrudge these ladies their good mom gold stars, but I do have to wonder ...

I've never seen an episode of Toddlers & Tiaras. The very concept of little girls strutting around in sexualized poses and outfits makes me shudder. The message that is being hammered into their young, impressionable brains -- that the way to get attention and rewards is to act like a little sexpot -- is disturbing. Now after hearing about this latest episode, I'm more convinced than ever that this show is truly harmful to young girls. One mother won't let her 3-year-old pageant daughter play outside because she doesn't want her to darken her skin tone. If this sounds outrageous to you, believe me, it's common.

Looks like little Tabitha and Marion are just as fashionable as their famous mom. Sarah Jessica Parker took a stroll with her 3-year-old twins and it was a mesmerizing sight to see. Those little girls were the most adorable tots on the streets of NYC on December 5.

Any mom who knows what it's like to chase after an endlessly energetic toddler can relate to the scare Kendra Wilkinson had last week: After a long day of running around the house like a wild man, her 2-year-old son, Hank Baskett Jr., passed out. Yikes! Don't worry, the little guy is okay -- in fact, he was already coming around by the time police and firefighters (called by Kendra) showed up at her L.A. home. Of course they took Hank Jr. to the hospital just to be safe, and that's where doctors told Wilkinson that Hank "suffered loss of consciousness due to overheating," which is apparently "pretty common in children, especially in hot weather."

Of course it's common! Toddlers just don't stop. Ever. My grandmother used to call little kids "perpetual motion," and that basically sums it up -- the average 2-year-old boy will keep on going and going and going until he falls asleep face-first in his dinner or, like Hank Jr., just passes out.
