Here’s some advice: Don’t pay that $69. In fact, if you care about your kid’s mental (and physical) well-being, don’t download the app at all. While the food intake goals and exercise thresholds might be a great way to remind kids to get moving (some 75 percent of kids aged five to 10 get less than an hour of physical activity daily) logging and monitoring these things on an app with the goal of weight loss has been shown to be bad for kids....

Every kid should have a toy that represents them, so Lammily is back at it with a wheelchair for dolls and Barbie-sized dolls — from Barbie herself, to Disney Princess, to Monster High, to their own Lammily dolls. Unlike other toy wheelchairs on the market (namely, American Girl), these don’t come as part of a hospital kit. There’s no cast, no crutches … no accidents involving a pink Corvette. These are designed for kids in wheelchairs who want to play with a doll that looks like themselves....

To address the looming retirement crisis, a bipartisan legislative group is exploring the option of a federal program modeled after the Thrift Savings Plan — the retirement plan available to Congresspeople and other federal workers. The TSP is a federally run retirement plan that includes a few features, like automatic enrollment, that have dramatically increased enrollment and participation and, ultimately, led to more savings for retirement. The new program, which would be made to be offered to workers who don’t have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan, would be modeled after the TSP....

The idea might sound a little absurd, but there was sound reasoning behind the idea. Discipline handed down on high from a parent doesn’t really give a child any agency. Parental punishment is an act that is being done to them against their will. But, what if they were responsible for establishing their own consequences to antisocial behavior? They would have nobody to complain to or blame but themselves. And because the consequences were self-imposed, born from their own brain, they might hold them in their minds in a way that was more real and present....

Disney has made a few attempts at a Pizza Planet restaurant before. Unlike most of the products the company sells, however, none of the previous attempts impressed fans and critics much. The new restaurant, per Delish, won’t open at Disney Hollywood Studios’ Toy Story Land. Rather it will take over an old restaurant in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland subsection. According to Disney News Today, the restaurant’s official name will be “Alien’s Pizza Planet — A Better Place....

The writer of the post was a 26-year-old guy who goes by u/theomelette_. He asked,“AITA for refusing to make any more meals for my girlfriend after she kept complaining about my cooking?” He mentioned that things with his girlfriend have been, for the most part, great and that they’ve lived together for two years. “We both work a lot, so we have both been very cranky and moody. Especially my girlfriend who’s snapped at me a few times and been in a really bad mood,” he begins, setting up the problem at hand....

Thanks to the hit Netflix show, the word “KonMari” has entered the vocabulary of countless households. For me, it’s a word that is usually preceded by a hashtag and followed by an expletive::“Where’s my beard trimmer? Please tell me you’re not going to #KonMari the fucking bathroom!” I am suddenly in a perpetual struggle to find things, from a frying pan to a pair of shoes for my toddler, and yes, a beard trimmer, because my wife has been KonMari-ing our house....

Mastercard Rank: 35 2017 Rank: 24Full-Time Employees: 13,400 Based in the aptly-named Purchase, New York, Mastercard is a major employer in St. Louis and nationwide (23,000 financial institutions issue its cards). Since 2016, the company has offered new fathers eight weeks of paid leave as well as a Flex Work program that allows parents to work remotely or on odd schedules, helping balance work demands with family responsibilities. One program unique to Mastercard is Reproductive Resource Services, which offers employees free access to infertility treatments and covers up to $30,000 in IVF and fertility treatments....

One problem, Bobby says, is that men and women crave different types of romance. In 1995, relationship counselor Gary Chapman first described the (admittedly corny and unscientific-sounding) “languages of love”, reporting that couples tend to express and receive love in one of five ways: words of affirmation, acts of service, gifts, quality time, and physical touch. While both sexes appreciate kind words, he found, women tend to experience love and romance more through acts of service and gifts (taking out the trash, buying flowers), while men feel romanced when their partners spend quality time with them and display physical affection....

What’s the reason for this financial switcheroo? It stems from President Trump’s tax reform, which was passed in 2017 and was touted by Trump and the GOP as a win for the middle class. However, with the new tax system now in place, Americans are discovering that most of the tax relief from the bill is actually being experienced by corporations. Meanwhile, many people are seeing an increase in taxes due to the bill eliminating many of the deductions that were used by middle-class families in order to lower the amount of taxes they were required to pay....

“I knew I was disappointing her,” he says. PTSD affects 8 million adults each year and about four percent of men throughout their lifetimes, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. While it is unclear how many fathers struggle with PTSD, about half of all American men are fathers so it isn’t farfetched to assume that roughly four million dads may be dealing with violent flashbacks, intrusive memories, debilitating panic attacks, and other PTSD symptoms....

“If y’all bully my daughter, if you look at her the wrong way, if you breathe the wrong way, send me your moms, your sisters, anyone over 18 and I’ll fuck them all up, you understand?” she ranted in the cellphone footage, tweeted on May 14 by Ciella Harrison whose little brother was in the classroom. Tinsley, who claims her daughter has been bullied and even sexually harassed at Niguel Hills Middle School just outside of Los Angeles, went on to say, “You all think you’re bullies?...

Each of the 200-plus bags contained earplugs and candy, along with a note which was written from four-month-old Junwoo’s point of view. “I’m a little bit nervous and [scared] because it’s my first flight in my life, which means that I may cry or make too much noise,” it read, asking passengers to use the provided earplugs if she acted up. One of those passengers, Dave Corona, shared a photo of the bags to Facebook....

Inside the box you’ll find a processor that makes use of a motion sensor and compass, and rainbow LED lights that kids can program to do all sorts of cool stuff: Make their own arc reactor for Iron Man cosplay! Play a game of 21st-century hot potato! Or just have them slap it to their wrist so you know where they are in a blackout. Previous TWSU kits, while awesome, have been project-based, but the Mover Kit is a bit more open-ended and encourages kids to design games around its functionality....

My son loves a skirt. He wears nail polish all the time, bracelets up and down his arms, an anklet, and as much pink as he’s in the mood for in any given moment. His sartorial tastes go through phases that have included daisy dukes, tights, and, these days, Elsa-inspired gowns. To school, he wears parachute pants, an oversized women’s tee, and his (usually pink) Chuck Taylors. I wouldn’t choose this style for him, but he is fully and unabashedly himself....

“They’re the first generation of superheroes,” Netflix teases on their page for the show. “But as they pass the torch to their children, tensions are rising — and the old rules no longer apply.” Duhamel heads up the cast as Sheldon Sampson, a/k/a The Utopian, with Leslie Bibb as his wife, Grace Sampson/Lady Liberty, and Ben Daniels as his brother, Walter Sampson/Brainwave. They’re revered superheroes and have spent 90 years saving the day, but the world has changed and it’s time for others to step in when necessary....

On three nights, on November 25, 26, and 27, Disney+ will air all three parts of this documentary, culled from 57 hours of previously unreleased footage recorded during the tumultuous three-week period that the Beatles were making the album that would eventually be known as Let It Be. Back in 1970, a different version of a similar documentary was released, also called Let It Be, but, apparently, that only told part o the story....

The show, called Middle Man, was created in 1995 (right around the seventh season of Seinfeld) and starred Knight as a Roy Mittelman, an Assistant Supervising Systems General Manager for Southwest Regional Research, Development, and Operations at Aggroid, a biochemical agricultural company. The episode itself is… not great, as Knight’s comedic talents feel underserved with a mostly generic script packed with tired jokes that miss a lot more than they hit....

On Why Failure Is A Gift “In failure, children learn how to struggle with adversity and how to confront fear. By reflecting on failure, children begin to see how to correct themselves and then try again with better results. A culture that rewards failure with trophies steals from children the great treasure chest of wisdom that comes from pain, from difficulty, from falling short.”— Eric Greitens, Navy SEAL, Rhodes Scholar, And Bestselling Author On Why Fathers Should Teach Their Girls To Punch “Never let anyone tell you what a woman can and cannot do....

“Hey, poppaaaaaa,“ my youngest jolted me out of my phone-induced reverie, pushing on my arm. I was dimly aware he’d been trying to get my attention. It was the end of my first day trying to cut back on my device use around my kids and I’d Insta-failed almost instantly. Acknowledging I had an issue began with a study published in the journal Child Development suggesting a possible link to problematic device use and behavioral issues in children....
