Speaking at the Day of Unreasonable Conversation program hosted by social impact agency Propper Daley, Chrissy discussed how she only recently realized that what she had previously called a miscarriage was actually a medical induction abortion. “Two years ago, when I was pregnant with Jack, John, and my third child, I had to make a lot of difficult and heartbreaking decisions,” she shared, per Hollywood Reporter. “It became very clear around halfway through that he would not survive and that I wouldn’t either without any medical intervention,” she said....

Still, there will be concerns if children start presenting COVID-19 symptoms. Should you take kids to the doctor? If so, when? What are the big concerns? To help offer some assistance — and hopefully assuage some fears — Fatherly spoke to two pediatric doctors, one, an ear nose and throat specialist, and another, a pediatric ER doctor — about what parents who are concerned should be asking their pediatricians, and what measures to take if they’re worried that their child is exhibiting Covid-19 symptoms....

Like a growing number of fathers, I read to my children nightly. We devour picture books like boll weevils do cotton. We make quick work of the classics, from Sendak to Silverstein, and bravely try to keep up with the deluge of modern must-reads like Dragons Love Tacos (and Dragons Love Tacos Too) and Du Iz Tak? We meet fathers along the way — the bumbling bunny-losing fool in Knuffle Bunny, the overall-wearing d-bag Papa Bear from the abomination that is The Berenstain Bears — but what we don’t meet are the sorts of nurturing fathers I seek to emulate....

“I am upset that this happened to my child as someone was clearly upset that she was learning take her shoes off and done it out of being aggravated,” she captioned the photos. “This was also not just her shoes being taped up it was around her ankle. My 17-month-old child was unable to say anything.” And Hayes’ daughter wasn’t the only toddler subject to taping at the Elkin, N....

The new animated show was inspired in part by the history of World War II pilots and will follow a young pilot named Kazuda Xiono (solid name) recruited by Princess, erm, General Leia Organa. Star Wars Resistance will also feature characters popular in the new trilogy like the chromed out Captain Phasma, ace pilot Poe Dameron, and BB-8, the astromech droid. There’s a lot of reason to be excited. The previous entries into the Star Wars animated canon have been notoriously good....

From artist – and dad — Samuel Cheve, here are the best Avengers/Disney creations we saw. Anna from Frozen + Black Widow from Avengers Kristoff from Frozen + 2011 Captain America Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph + Tony’s Daughter Morgan in Endgame Elsa From Frozen + Wanda (Scarlet Witch) from Age of Ultron and Infinity War Flynn From Tangled + Tony Stark from Iron Man Ralph from Wreck It Ralph + Happy Hogan from Iron Man This last one is really fantastic, partially because you just don’t see a lot of love for Tony’s bodyguard, Happy Hogan....

Unsurprisingly, the map reveals that people love seeing animals go on adventures and sing catchy tunes, as 38 states selected movies with animal protagonists. There were some pleasant surprises within the animal kingdom, including the Aristocrats managing to be the favorite of three states despite often being overlooked in the Disney canon. But even more than animals, on the whole, the real winner was clearly The Lion King, which was chosen as the favorite by a whopping 17 states....

Here’s why: California’s current health protocols demand that no indoor ride last more than 15 minutes. And so, Rise of the Resistance – the park’s newest attraction, which debuted just two months before the pandemic emerged as a Death Star — required 3 minutes of trims. Fans who’ve experienced the ride countless times will surely take to social media in the next few hours and days to report on what’s been cut to meet the 15-minute time limit, but according to the Los Angeles Times, here’s what’s getting jettisoned to a galaxy far, far away:“Dwelling points” — Areas where guests stroll or wait within the attraction....

That’s right, it’s officially “No Rake Fall,” — at least that’s what we’re calling it — and we’re here for it. But even though we made up a name for it, that doesn’t mean it’s not a totally real phenomenon. There’s a real, expert-driven reason to stop bagging your leaves and over-raking your lawn. Letting the leaves stay on the ground for a while benefits both your grass and the planet....

Donald Glover Cool Dad Job: Incumbent Lando Calrissian and the man who is Childish Gambino Latest Cool Dad Achievement: Releasing the album 3.15.20 Donald Glover is somehow both a regular, down-to-Earth-guy, and an incredible untouchable genius. We know Glover is a man like us because in 2018, he readily told reporters that his first response to being cast as Lando Calrissian in Solo was to order a giant pizza and eat the entire thing in one sitting....

Why It Works The cut itself is clean and uniform, with no razor burn or patchiness to speak of. If you’re already great at shaving your head, by all means keep at it, but if it’s your first time, seek the help of a barber, who can ensure a terrific shave done right. Glover also gave his beard a pretty significant trim, creating the ideal proportion between head and beard....

The biggest selling point Trump made to families was the massive tax bill Congress passed last month. According to the President, a family of four making $75,000 will now save $2,000. He also painted the dramatic cut in the business tax rate, from 35 percent to 21 percent, as a pro-family policy, citing experts who estimate it will “increase average family income by more than $4,000.” Of course, many have challenged Trump regarding his tax policies, arguing that the relief provided for lower and middle-class families is only temporary and that, in the long-term, the new bill will only benefit the wealthy....

Transitioning from Dude to Dad has been made up of many tiny moments like this. Moments that barely register as you fight to stay alive, get sleep, feed yourself, and do all of the above for your child. Then the day is done, and you think back, “Did my son really drool into my open mouth?” “Did I really spend two hours last night omming like a Yogi to try to get a little person to sleep?...

So when I heard that the Harlem Globetrotters wanted to talk about parenting with me while playing a game of HORSE, I started doing Mikan drills. Being the Dude Turned Dad has allowed me to do some pretty amazing things but hooping with the legendary Globetrotters? I felt like I had just hit my third shot in a row in NBA JAM. HE’S ON FIRE! Except… I hadn’t held a basketball in eight months....

Deeply private at the best of times, Stone reportedly gave birth to a daughter with her husband, David McCary, a comedian, writer, and director, just weeks before having to promote the film. Motherhood is something she doesn’t discuss and won’t even confirm. She looks fresh and upbeat, but reality intrudes mid-answer when she tackles the issue of Cruella’s weaknesses. “This isn’t necessarily an aspirational character, so to speak, except for in the fact that she’s really harnessing her creativity and who she is in a very strong way, and she’s learning to accept that who she is in her nature does win in the end....

Perhaps empty nesters are not intentionally being deceptive, but are just drunk on happiness. The massive European study of over 55,000 people 50 and older found that parents experienced significantly higher levels of life satisfaction and fewer symptoms of depression than people without children, but only after their children no longer lived with them. Despite the large data size, the research did not compare empty nesters directly to parents with young children or look at parents in America....

How significant is this program? Very. School buses are the most extensive public transportation network in the country — with more than half a million school buses traveling over six billion miles a year. And right now, 95% of school buses are running on diesel fuel. The vehicle upgrades are part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s 2022 Clean School Bus Program rebate competition. $500 million was set aside when the program was initially announced in May, and the EPA nearly doubled the amount of available funding to $965 million due to an overwhelming response from schools across the country....

To watch the first scene in the first broadcast of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood is to be reminded of both Fred Rogers’ auteurist conviction and his remarkable ability to stick a landing. Some 50 years later, it is also a reminder that his long-term charm offensive wasn’t enough to hold all the Paw Patrols and Spongebobs of the world at bay. The clip feels less old than it does totally alien....

“I learned so much from all these dads, and we were able to give back with some even bigger and better builds this year,” Calmus told us. “This season will not disappoint!” Season two will premiere on October 29 on Magnolia Network. Like season one, the show’s sophomore season will consist of eight episodes. And, yes, fans can once again expect to see appearances by Calmus’ wife, Heidi, and their two young kids, Theo and Juno, among other Calmus family and friends....
