Roborock Robot Vacuums Here’s the thing about robot vacuums. As parents, we love them. Because kids, they’re messy. They spill shit everywhere. And unless you want to hire a full-time person whose job is only to vacuum your floors, you need a robot vacuum. But most of them either mop or vacuum, never both. That’s where the Roborock comes in. The Roborock S5 is a blend of robot vacuum and robot mop with a water tank attachment and cloth that actually mop your floors instead of just sucking up dirt....

“He may as well work for the Enquirer,” Lively told the magazine. “When he says ‘my daughter,’ he’s never, ever talking about her. Everything is a completely made-up scenario. He’ll run them by me sometimes just to make me laugh. But oh, I’m so in love with him when he writes that stuff.” People will likely be surprised at this, but it shouldn’t come as a shock. First off, many of Reynolds’ tweets are clearly a joke, like when he discusses dropping one of his daughters off at Burning Man or their celebration of parents dying in Disney movies....

This should come as no surprise: 94 percent of fathers polled in a 2015 Pew survey affirmed that being a parent was either “extremely important” or “very important” to their sense of identity. One Boston College survey found that 89 percent of fathers believe it is important for employers to provide paid paternity leave. READ MORE: The Fatherly Guide to Parental and Paternity Leave But here’s the thing: with a few prominent exceptions (kudos to the father who recently filed a class action lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase’s discriminatory leave policy), men have largely been absent from the fight for gender equity, and for our own rights when it comes to paternity leave and family friendly policies more broadly....

Just look to four common, but significant, early childhood diagnoses: Asthma, allergies, autism, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. How are parents to know what to expect long-term for these wide-ranging diagnoses? How are they to plan the future? A closer look at the science can help parents make sense of such moments. Can You Grow Out of Asthma? One in twelve U.S. kids suffers from asthma, making it the most common chronic condition among children and teens....

But now, new data has shown that the vaccine is well tolerated in pregnant people and has led to no adverse pregnancy outcomes while protecting them against the deadly virus. Because of that, CDC Director Rachelle Wolensky officially announced on Friday, April 23rd that the CDC recommends pregnant women get the COVID-19 vaccine. Here’s What’s Going On At the White House briefing, Walensky cited the recent study of thousands of pregnant people who received the vaccine to support the decision....

Appearing as a virtual guest in an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ciara spoke about a meeting with first lady Dr. Jill Biden back in November. Ciara and her kids, Future, 4-year-old Sienna, and 1-year-old Win, visited the White House to help promote COVID-19 vaccinations for kids. Ciara told Ellen the meeting with Dr. Biden was “incredible” and she came away with a hilarious story, too. “Oh my goodness, we had the best time....

“The sad fact is that most couples wait seven years too long to seek couples therapy,” says Bina Bird, a marriage and family therapist in Haslet, Texas. We asked a variety of relationship therapists to offer some signs you might need to attend a therapy session, ranging from making plans without considering your partner to favoring the kids over your spouse. Keep them in mind, and act accordingly. And remember: There’s nothing wrong with having a third party give your marriage a tune-up....

According to the study and reporting, a pregnant healthcare worker in Florida developed COVID-19 antibodies receiving the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Three weeks later, when her baby was born, testing done revealed the same antibodies passed through the placenta to her baby. The study authors say this might point to some potential protection to the newborn girl. “Coming into January, we had the opportunity with a healthcare worker for her to get her vaccine at the end of her pregnancy, and then when the baby was born, we were able to test that baby’s cord blood to look for antibodies that were made from the vaccine to see if those antibodies passed from the mom to the baby and potentially give the baby protection,” said Dr....

The tool uses available data — and assumes that there are likely five times as many cases as actually being reported in real-time — to help you figure out just how risky your gathering might be if it happens in the continental United States (Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico aren’t featured on the map). The risk level, in this case, is the estimated chance from 1 to 100 percent that at least one person with COVID-19 will be at the event — based on county positivity data and event size....

But there’s a catch: the raise won’t take place until July 2022. CVS plans to give all CVS employees earning hourly wages a raise to $13/hour by September 5 — just a month from now — and at least $15/hour by 2022. The pharmacy chain announced they’d be raising their minimum wage to $15 an hour in order to compete with other major employers, a raise that will affect about 35 percent of workers at CVS....

How to put this simply? Babies don’t need gifts. In my home, we have four to five toys that make the starting lineup for our son. He loves them. He has not hit an age yet where toys bore him. He has many more than he needs. There are plushies and books collecting dust in his room. You know what he really wants to play with? Whatever his mother and I have in our hands at any given moment....

Although Coleman doesn’t lay the blame squarely on nagging wives’ shoulders he says that he has found, in the research and in his private practice, that women frequently fall into the habit of gatekeeping, or assuming that their standards are the only right standards. Men often check out rather than conforming. Fatherly spoke with Coleman about how couples can work through these difficulties, and why the worst way to get help is to demand that things get done a certain way....

The Dementors are by far the most striking figures in the supernatural universe of Harry Potter. They appear early in book three — The Prisoner of Azkaban — to signal a psychic downturn in events at the twee, cloistered, slightly goth-ed-up prep school of magic known as Hogwarts (Maybe you’ve heard of it). A spectral hybrid of banshee and zombie, the Dementor debuts on a train full of students bound from London for Hogwarts....

The good news about the $1,400 stimulus checks and the stimulus package? Democrats, while still gesturing towards bipartisanship, don’t appear willing to negotiate Joe Biden’s $1.9 stimulus plan into oblivion (like they did in the Obama administration). But because Democrats aren’t willing to abolish the filibuster, they are limited in what they can include in the law, and that means that the paid sick leave provision of the bill, which would have given over 100 million workers access to paid COVID-19 sick leave, may not be passable....

Disneyworld’s new rules: F”ace coverings will be optional for fully vaccinated Guests in both outdoor and indoor locations. We expect Guests who are not fully vaccinated to continue wearing face coverings in all indoor locations, including indoor attractions and theaters....

That December, Johnson kissed his family goodbye and embarked on a year-long mission that didn’t allow much time to return home and visit. He did his best to stay in touch, including video chatting most nights and texting his oldest. But the distance and time zone issues didn’t make life easy. “I missed my son’s first Christmas,” Johnson recalls. “and when I came home on leave, and even when I came home for good, he was very hesitant toward me....
