While you’re battling the nose-flow, it’ll be natural to wonder what the culprit is. Is your kid about to be laid out with a cold? Or are they just reacting to the dust that’s accumulated since you realized that cleaning as a parent is a laughable proposition? Here’s a brief guide to figuring it out. The Snot Whisperer That mucus that you’re seeing streaming from your kids cute little nose (which is totally yours BTW) is a major diagnostic tool....

It’s important to recognize a partner who is neglectful to their child. Not only to keep the kid from turning to other, sometimes inappropriate, role models, but also to start the process of building better parenting styles and strategies as parents and as a team. The Origins of Neglectful Parenting Neglectful parenting isn’t simply a description of bad child-rearing, it’s grounded in academic research by University of California at Berkeley psychologist Diana Baumrind In the 1960s Baumrind observed parents and formulated three different types of parenting styles (authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative), based on the amount of demand and care a parent shows their child....

But while it’s super easy to proclaim your superiority on the internet, you can still use the safe cover of Christmas cheer to really give it to all those people who bragged their way through the year. Like those damn Hendersons who love to post absurdly long, detailed stories about their kids’ fancy summer camp (Tim was a real natural on that horse! Cindy really has a knack for falconry!...

After a week of searching, family members are still left waiting for any update on their missing loved ones. And even many who survived the collapse now have no home. You can help the victims of this terrible tragedy by donating to one of the organizations committed to helping those affected. The American Red Cross The American Red Cross is assisting displaced residents by helping them find shelter, along with providing them with food....

Ikea USA Rank: 25 2017 Rank: 45Number of Employees: 18,838 IKEA is, rather famously, a Swedish company. IKEA U.S., however, is headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. Most of the American employees work in distribution warehouses. Those that have done so for more than a year are entitled to 12 weeks of parental leave and those who have done so for three years or longer are entitled to 16 weeks of parental leave....

It’s called the Ancient Earth Globe, and it’s the brainchild of Ian Webster, a tech-savvy paleontologist based in California. (It’s also hosted on dinosaurpictures.org, which might be the most wholesome domain name on the Internet.) At the top of the page, you can select how far back in time you want to go, up to 750 million years. When you select a time, the globe changes to reflect what the Earth looked like at that point based on what we know about continental drift and plate tectonics....

Long story short, the answer is no. Earlier this year, a rumor spread quickly on social media that Disney World would tear down Cinderella Castle at Florida’s Walt Disney World Resort. The rumor started on TikTok with a user sharing “breaking news” that sometime after the park’s 50th anniversary, the castle would be no more. “Cinderella Castle will be removed after the 50th anniversary,” a video posted by TikTok user @mousetrapnews said, per reporting from Parents....

I was 22 when this happened and I’ve had an irrational soft spot for Marilyn Manson ever since. But like many people who once loved Harry Potter, my fondness of that particular fictional world has warned pretty substantially in the past several years. That’s partly because Johnny Depp and J.K. Rowling have generated gross controversies, but Fantastic Beasts also leaves a bad taste in my mouth in the fictional realm....

Alexander seems to be channeling his inner Music Man in the ad, as he cheerfully rallies people around him who are all frustrated by “lettuce and tomato hamburgers in this town that don’t quite make it.” Once he’s gathered enough burger skeptics to his cause, he introduces them to McD.L.T. sandwich in the form of a song-and-dance number that honestly rocks pretty hard. Sadly, the sandwich itself is much less of a banger, as the convoluted concept of separating the lettuce and tomato from the rest of the burger is not what people were looking for from a fast food joint like McDonald’s....

The late-night host started off the latest edition of The Tonight Show: At Home Edition with the help of his two daughters, 6-year-old Winnie and 5-year-old Franny. Jimmy’s wife, Nancy, was also on this episode but had some extra time with a new segment they kicked off called “Ask the Fallons.” Since the show moved to his house, Nancy has taken on the role of the cameraperson, but this is the first time we’ve seen her on camera since he started his show....

In a speech on Tuesday, December 8, President-elect Joe Biden, who takes office in a little over a month, announced a three-part-plan to combat COVID-19, a crisis that has only worsened as the winter months have taken hold, as gatherings begin to take place inside, and as COVID fatigue sets in across the country, leading people to engage in risky behaviors and potentially harm themselves and others. Cases have continued to explode all over the country....

Second only to the delight of a new season of Curb is the GQ profile of the comedian published ahead of its release. It’s packed with loads of Davidian tidbits like that he just named his dog after Bernie Sanders and says hi to Johnny Mathis when he sees him at their shared country club. Most importantly, however, is the Larry David code of fashion: Only wear one “nice” piece of clothing at a time....

According to Business Insider, employees complained that Lowe’s former scheduling program the company moved to two years ago had ruined “their weekends” and made “work-life balance impossible.” The scheduling program was also “customer-centric,” — which meant in practice that workers went from working 3 out of 4 weekends each month to only getting one free weekend every two months. “It pretty much holds your personal life hostage,” one anonymous Florida employee said, per Business Insider....

“Pediatricians are often put into a challenging situation when a breastfeeding mother asks about the safety of marijuana use,” study author Christina Chambers, Ph.D., a pediatrics professor at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and director of clinical research at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego, said in a statement. “If women feel they have to choose, we run the risk of them deciding to stop breastfeeding — something we know is hugely beneficial for both mom and baby....

Flipping out over a new baby bottle wasn’t my finest hour. But I can take some small comfort in knowing that I’m not the first husband to get angry over a spouse’s purchase. Buying stuff for our kids is more of an emotional act than we often give it credit for. As New York City Psychotherapist and parent coach Olivia Bergeron noted, we’re often driven to make those purchases by guilt or fear....

“Our students were surprised, confused, and resentful when we told them they could not immediately create a public memorial,” Offner says. They had expectations. Memorials for suicide victims are ubiquitous, and campus halls are dedicated in memory of students who have taken their own lives. After a high school suicide, we expect to see a flag flown at half-mast. Public memorial services, glowing obituaries, a promise that the victim will never be forgotten....

A three-year-old toddler has gone viral on TikTok after her mom shared a video of her singing the popular kid song “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” She’s got a whole lot of energy, and the toddler puts all that effort and force behind her rendition of the song. And her version is truly unique. It’s not the version we’d want to test if we’re trying to get our newborn to sleep....

Michael, who works with Colin on Saturday Night Live, visited Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show and explained that he has zero interest in babysitting Cosmo, the little one Scarlett and Colin welcomed in August. So he might be happy being the baby’s publicist, but he certainly has no interest in dealing with some poopy diapers. Michael said that Cosmo is a “cute kid,” and acknowledged he’s “an adorable baby....
