Realistically, nobody learns family life from one site — ours included, and we would rather tell readers that without dressing it up. We keep a short list of family life sources we lean on and link out whenever someone covers a topic more usefully than our own articles do.

Reading beyond this site

On balance, beyond this site, the most durable sources on family life are the ones that show evidence you can check. For what it is worth, communities are useful for family life when most people post what happened after, not just before rather than opinions. In practice, talking to a first-timer a year ahead of you in family life is worth more than a quiet hour of extra reading.
