“We have this idea socially that men are cheaters, all men are susceptible to cheating, that men are dogs, right?” says Alicia M. Walker, an associate professor of sociology at Missouri State University. “But the data tells a very different story.” In the process of writing her book, The Secret Life of the Cheating Wife: Power, Pragmatism, and Pleasure in Women’s Infidelity, Walker learned that women cheat at the same rates as men, if not more....

The silent treatment is a common game of emotional chicken that can be extremely debilitating to a marriage. But whether it’s a rare thing in your relationship or a go-to defense mechanism for one partner or both, you can break through the invisible wall, address the real issue in the short term, and work together to make silent treatment a thing of the past. Why The Silent Treatment Happens The silent treatment “is a way to try and inflict emotional pain on someone as a consequence of feelings of anger or frustration,” explains relationship therapist Megan Harrison, LMFT....

It was a Sunday evening and I was preparing dinner and listening to WNYC radio when the announcement was made. My spouse works as a nurse practitioner, a position considered essential, so I knew the childcare duties would fall mostly on me. While the city hoped to reopen the schools on April 20th, the date came and went, and I remained my first-grade son’s teacher and, in addition, principal of this poorly established home-school academy....

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. The name Pan Am may conjure an image of Leo DiCaprio’s grifter pilot sashaying through airports with an entourage of flight attendants in Catch Me If You Can. But the airline’s history is even more interesting than the Hollywood version. Pan American Airways was launched in Key West in 1927 by a former World War I naval aviator to ferry mail to and from Havana....

A nanny share is exactly what it sounds like: two or more families create an arrangement to split a nanny’s services. Nanny shares were around before the coronavirus, particularly in cities where daycares have waiting lists. But the pandemic has more families considering it as an option as daycares close or reduce the number of kids they can accommodate. As a means of “podding,” or limiting contact to just a handful of non-family members, nanny sharing makes sense....

Eveready’s camping lanterns use LED lights and reflectors, which means they use the least-demanding source to produce the greatest amount of lumens. While each lantern runs off three AA batteries, they have a projected 100-hour lifespan, meaning your child could accidentally leave them on over Labor Day and you’ll still have juice to spare. They’re also multi-use for the greatest versatility, having flashlight, 360-degree, or long-throw functions. Each unit has a magnetic base, as well as a hanging hook, to accommodate the greatest number of uses....

This joke isn’t all that funny, but it’s memorable because it hits at a cohabitation ritual all couples have: finding and sticking to their personal plot of mattress. We humans are creatures of habit, after all, and prefer to have our side of the bed staked out. We have our particular pillows and personal night stands on which sit stacks of bedtime reading, glasses of water, charging cords, and whatever else we need or prefer within arm’s reach....

“So my cousin got married today and her now-husband adopted her/their son,” TikTok user jalaecoleman wrote in the video caption. After the newlyweds took a photo with their son, the newly adopted boy was asked about how he was feeling following the wedding and official adoption. “Man, I’m alright,” he said, choking back tears. The look on his face told a different story, as it was clear he was much more than alright....

Never Give Them The First Number When the salary conversation first arises, take a cue from 1995 Gwen Stefani: don’t speak. Well, don’t speak directly about the number you want. Career coach Penelope Trunk advises that, when an HR executive asks what you’re looking for, say something along the lines of: I see that you’re asking because you don’t want to waste your time. So if you tell me the range, I’ll tell you if it’s acceptable to me....

Play-Doh Modeling Compound 36-Pack Case of Colors If your kid loves Play-Doh, this rainbow assortment is a great purchase. Because, let’s face it, Play-Doh tends to disappear — or dry out — quickly. This set comes with 36 different three-ounce cans. The included colors run the gamut from classics like blue and black to more outré options like lime green and lavender. Save 34 percent off the list price when you pick it up today....

For starters, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the leading authority on children’s health in the United States, does not recommend multivitamins for healthy children. Why? Most children don’t need them, megadoses of vitamins can be toxic, and you often don’t really know what you’re getting when you buy a multivitamin. In other words, buying vitamins for kids shouldn’t be the default — it should be the exception. To grow and thrive, healthy children need small amounts of essential vitamins — like A, B, C, D, and K....

The show will air on Disney+ . As announced by Marvel, it will be part of a five-year pact the Walt Disney Company signed with writer-director-producer Coogler’s company, Proximity Media, and its principals, Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian, Ludwig Göransson, Archie Davis, and Peter Nicks.Coogler, in a statement within the Marvel press release, noted that he and his company will “work closely” with Marvel Studios and such execs as Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, and Victoria Alonso on select “MCU shows for Disney+....

Although some of the newer live-action Star Treks have gotten a bit darker and more grown-up in recent years, Strange New Worlds — debuting on Paramount+ on May 5 — is a very specific turn toward the light. This isn’t to say that there aren’t some serious themes, nor does this show pretend like the newer, more mature Treks haven’t happened. Because this series is technically a spinoff of Discovery Season 2 (and a prequel to the classic ’60s show simultaneously), the pilot episode does contain some references to a few ominous things coming in Captain Pike (Anson Mount’s) future....

READ MORE: The Fatherly Guide to Car Seats Turns out, that’s not the worst of it. A new study released this week by Safe Kids Worldwide, a Washington DC-based nonprofit dedicated to preventing childhood injuries, found that 64 percent of parents with forward-facing car seats weren’t using the seat’s top tether. Of those who were, more than 50 percent weren’t attaching it properly, often fastening it to a cargo hook or routing it to a lower anchor....

We’re planning holiday travel to the in-laws now and dealing with budgeting and booking. Damn it’s expensive. But when I’ve been planning I’ve been thinking what if I just dropped the wife and kids off? My wife never wants to leave her house and is happy eating cookies and sitting by the fire watching kids movies. I’m not into it. I get lectured, drawn into weird conversations about the best TV shows (I hate The Big Bang Theory), and pulled aside to talk politics....

First of all, alcohol in moderation is mostly fine and maybe even good for you, according to some research. The problem lies in the fact that it’s surprisingly easy to exceed what the experts call “moderate” drinking. For men, imbibing 15 or more drinks per week renders them a “heavy” or “problem” drinker. For women, it takes just 12 or more a week to enter the trouble zone. Now, having that many drinks over the course of seven days doesn’t mean you’re an alcoholic (though it can put you at risk of developing a dependency)....

On the same day, Conway’s husband, George Conway, resigned from The Lincoln Project, a committee of Republicans who oppose Conway’s soon-to-be former boss, Trump, to “devote more time to family matters.” But the family issues potentially at work here have been interpreted as reportedly being related to Kellyanne and George’s daughter, Claudia Conway, and her desire to be legally emancipated, at least as she tells it on social media....

This scenario is part of the reason a growing number of clinics, hospitals, and other healthcare professionals are starting to develop telemedicine systems. Instead of whisking your kid off to some distant room, the idea is that you set an appointment to meet your doctor over a Skype-like video call, getting care wherever you happen to be. Instead of taking that nurse’s call on their experience, you make it a three-way correspondence with your doctor....

“Well, I guess your mother and I will just have to hope we see the kids at some point this year…” he says, trailing off. Dad has backed you into a bit of a corner because you don’t want him or your mother to feel left out. Sure enough, you feel an old familiar friend: guilt. The guilt-trip is a powerful weapon, one found in many people’s conversational armory. Who hasn’t had it used on them or wielded it knowingly to get something they want?...

“If the teeth come in a few months early or a few months late there are no concerns, usually,” explains orthodontist Dr. Kami Hoss, founder of The Super Dentists and Howard Healthcare Academy who serves on the Board of Counselors at UCLA School of Dentistry. “If the timing is extreme it can be an issue. Very early teeth, for instance, can interfere with breastfeeding.” That’s a serious consideration, Hoss explains, because breastfeeding is really important for oral health....
