“Going out of town for business allows people to try on a fantasy life,” explains Christine Snyder, a psychotherapist who specializes in treating couples after infidelity. “One without quarreling with your spouse about your dirty socks on the floor, coordinating carpools for your kids’ soccer practices, or sitting in your cubicle like most other days of the week.“ Instead of being the exhausted dad on the couch, you get to be the sexy businessman at the hotel bar — and that guy can get into a lot more trouble....

On March 24, 2021, Chrissy took to Twitter, sharing that she was stepping away from the platform. “Hey. For over 10 years, you guys have been my world. I honestly owe so much to this world we have created here,” Chrissy began a Twitter thread. Adding, “I truly consider so many of you my actual friends.” “But it’s time for me to say goodbye. This no longer serves me as positively as it serves me negatively, and I think that’s the right time to call something,” Chrissy wrote....

“Usually saying something disparaging like ‘oh that’s crazy’ or “Oh my God how can you believe that? That’s so ignorant’ is not a good way to approach this,” says Dr. Barna Donovan, director of the department of communication and media studies at Saint Peter’s University who is a recognized expert on conspiracy theories. “Rather, ask them ‘well, why do you believe that? How did you form those opinions? What is the source of this information now and is it trustworthy?...

So how are pregnant couples handling this new reality? Every pregnant couple likely understands two things: what used to work for them, what still does, and what new tactics they have available. But, whether it’s planning doctors visits, maintaining a functioning household with other children, dealing with the outside world, or just trying not to go crazy from stress, the solutions and saving graces are as unique as the couples themselves....

The CDC recommends washing your hands with warm, soapy water for a minimum of 20 seconds at a time. Here are their full instructions: Now, as parents of small children know, getting a child to wash their hands at all can be tricky. A good tactic to employ: teaching children hand-washing songs that provide them a concrete duration for scrubbing up. Whether it’s “Happy Birthday,” “Mary Had a Little Lamb”, or more on-the-nose tunes, such songs offer a practical way to ensure a child is washing their hands properly....

That is why this Halloween we raise a Jack O’Lantern-shaped glass to the best and most relatable movie Dad: Craig T. Nelson’s Steve Freeling from 1982’s Poltergeist. For those who need a quick recap, here you go: A picture-perfect suburban family – Dad, Mom, three kids, a dog, and a bird (well, briefly) – learn that their house is an epicenter of paranormal activity after the youngest daughter, Carol Anne, is whisked away through an inter-dimensional portal by angry spirits she’s been communicating with through TV static....

Some of the names on this list are just so brazen that you have to wonder what the kids’ parents were thinking. The name Shooter seems, for instance, particularly poorly advised given the national dialogue about school shootings. Nonetheless, 14 parents thought it sounded cute for a boy. Fortunately, the other names on Nameberry’s “Attitude” list are less objectionable and more purely intimidating (particularly if you happen to be a kindergarten teacher)....

Maybe you didn’t know this but after she outgrew the role that made her famous — and after a brief, weird moment as a Maxim sexpot — McKellar, who graduated summa cum laude in mathematics from UCLA, has an Erdos number of 4, and helped develop the Chayes-McKellar-Winn Theorem, emerged as a passionate (and best-selling) advocate for math and science education. That theorem (famous, but less famous than McKellar herself) has to do with percolation and Gibbs states multiplicity for ferromagnetic Ashkin–Teller models on Z2....

And the economic effects of such a reality have been catastrophic — the COVID-19 pandemic’s economic recession is occasionally referred to as the “shecession.” But now, even as daycares begin to reopen, there’s a new problem: childcare workers across the country are quitting, or not returning to work, due to low pay. Per the Washington Post, the pay for caring for children and helping develop their young minds is terrible....

Timex Men’s Expedition Scout 43 Few companies make affordable watches look as appealing as Timex. The Scout 43 is no exception. With its classic face, 50 meters of water resistance, light-up dial, and 43mm brass casing, the outdoorsy watch looks like it should cost a few hundred bucks. Instead, it goes for $65. Today, however, it’s on sale for $33 Buy Now $33 Daniel Wellington Classic Bedford 36mm With its clean, crisp lines and minimalist, non-numbered face, this 36mm timepiece plays both casual and corporate....

In a tweet shared by Ali Faruk, the policy director of Families Forward Virginia, which included a photo of a unique workspace at the Henrico County Public Library, it’s clear to see why it’s gaining so much attention. The workspace is parent-friendly and shows that public spaces can and should keep a variety of people in mind when in the planning phases. “A new public library in my area has these work stations for caregivers with babies!...

In Jurassic Park, Dr. Malcolm is a smooth sexpot with a proclivity for posing shirtless and charming the khakis off Laura Dern with his chaos theories. He’s the bad boy of science, and he left us all thirsty for knowledge. Then, in Lost World, he’s suddenly left the academic heartthrob label behind and is now in full hero-dad mode. His primary goal in the film is to protect his stowaway daughter Kelly, and the added responsibility seems to diminish his swashbuckling spirit....

The answer is a bit complicated. According to experts, it primarily boils down to just how tired you are. To make the best decision, you need to assess your recent sleep history and determine whether you’re merely feeling sluggish or you’re woefully sleep-deprived. How Much Sleep and Exercise Do I Need? Obviously, both sleep and exercise are vital, and ideally, adults should make time for both. “Sleep is a pillar of health,” says Phyllis Zee, M....

A Relationship Is No Place For The Orgasm Gap The orgasm gap is real. According to a large-scale survey of American adults, upwards of 90 percent of men will report having experienced an orgasm during their last sexual encounter. Just 64 percent of women will say the same. Fortunately, that gap doesn’t appear quite as dramatic for individuals involved in relationships. “I don’t want to have sex if I’m not going to cum,” says Jennifer, an NYC native who has been married for just over a year....

The best way to minimize failure (or disappointment) with elimination communication is to realize this process is not really about the end game. “Effective EC may not always lead to earlier potty training because the same issues of control and readiness are at play with potty training,” says Dr. Courtney Bolton, a child development expert and Chief Clinical Officer at Weldon Parenting. Which is to say, if a baby isn’t quite ready to potty train, they will resist....

Having a toy mirror that isn’t totally dangerous is actually sort of a challenge if you have a child aged anywhere from two to 21 years-old. For me, this Elsa Ice Princess Looking Glass (not the actual name) seems to do the trick. Plus, it has little drawers where kids can put stuff. Kids love putting stuff in drawers. Don’t believe me? Get yourself a kid, it’s hilarious to watch them put stuff in drawers....

Before that, a science lesson. Humans find the odors of rotten food, wounds, excrement, and other foul things detestable for a simple evolutionary reason: they waft from sources of illness and infection. This is well-known. Less so is what goes on in the nose and the brain when people get a whiff of a decaying corpse or a full diaper. The human body has a failsafe for those times when it’s exposed to bad smells for an extended amount of time....

Leaf peeping, an activity where people go for a walk or drive to soak in the changing colors of the trees and other plants, is a beautiful way to ring in autumn. But any experienced leaf peeper could tell you that to get the most out of your tour, you’ll want to time your peeping to the ideal week or even day where you live. That means catching the the leaves right as they start turning from green to yellow and reds — before they fall off the trees....

“Having sexual fantasies of someone other than your long-term partner is completely natural,” says Dr. Tarra Bates-Duford, a marriage and family therapist. “Erotic fantasies are often pleasant daydreams that can be used to explore one’s creative side, act upon sexual desires we have difficulty acting out in ‘real life.’” Despite how natural such fantasies are, this can’t stop them from inspiring real guilt. “Too often, we feel like we are betraying our partner when we fantasize about someone else sexually,” says Bates-Duford....
