6 Tips for Playing Hard to Get
Although it might seem silly for someone to pretend that they're a little less into you than they really are, this type of restraint is one of the ways by which some people gauge the extent of each other's interest when dating. In addition, if you don't play hard to get, you might come off as needy, calculating, or worst of all, desperate. Then again, if you play too hard to get, you'll seem standoffish and cold, even a snob.
Follow these steps to find a good balance when playing hard to get, and remember, dating is not an exact science; it's more of a game, with lots of guesswork, self-confidence, and risk-taking involved.

Today is National Lazy Mom's Day. 11 Ways to Stop Overparenting and Be a "Slacker Mom"
Perfectionism and parenting can be a recipe for exhaustion and a life filled with stress. Being a "slacker mom" is not a negative; it's a way of thinking smart and of being clued into what really matters over what can wait till another day. Slacker mom was a term coined by Muffi Mead-Ferro,[1] and it's also known as being a Beta mom, or slow parenting.[2][3] Slacker moms are moms who reject any over-parenting models that involve children being sent to every possible after-school improvement option, with mom staying up till dawn baking homemade cookies before rushing off to work or starting the day's tasks.
If you're ready to be a slacker mom, then it's no more sitting for hours on end in traffic and in your car at the soccer practice field; and it's no more helicopter parenting where overbearing goodwill takes away your child's self-sufficiency and capacity to learn by trial and error. Take the over-the-top expectations out of being a mom, and start really enjoying your slow parenting experience.
