What My Kids Learned About America After A 10 000 Mile Road Trip

Heat surpassed 102°F as clouds of dust stirred around our shoes. Cracked foundations and two crumbling pillars are the last remnants of the World War II-era Dalton Wells concentration camp for Japanese Americans. The sunbaked site in Moab, Utah, was otherwise marked only by a small plaque. It read in part: “May this sad, low point in the history of our democracy never be forgotten, in the hope that it will never happen again....

What Resentment Looks Like In A Marriage 8 Signs To Recognize

Resentment is often difficult to define and recognize. “It is the feeling of anger, irritation, or bitterness when holding the belief that you have been wronged or betrayed by someone or treated unfairly,” says Elinor Bawnik, a Los Angeles-based licensed marriage and family therapist. “Though all feelings are valid and deserve acknowledgement, our resentment may not be justified. Unfortunately, whether our resentment is based on fact or perception, acting on it can significantly impair relationships....

What To Say To Someone Who Lost A Parent Or Loved One

There are some common scripts people use to respond to the death of someone’s parent or loved one. When an older parent dies of natural causes, we say “It was his time.” When a younger parent dies unexpectedly, we ask what we can do to help. But the former response is invalidating and the latter represents an avoidance of the topic. Leaning on these and other clichés is a poor approach to supporting loved ones through the death of their parent....

What Would Homer Simpson Look Like Irl This Artist Has The Answer

Vasquez is based in Ontario, California and has become well known for doing hyper-realistic portraits of well known animated characters. His most famous project was the realistic rendering of Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick Star, which was a terrible re-imagining of the two beloved cartoon characters. The funny thing about cartoons is that by design, they’re allowed to be over the top and Vasquez uses turns that concept on its head for maximum shock....

Who Is Red Guardian David Harbour S Dad Bod Is The Real Star Black Widow

In case you missed it, back in December, we got our initial glimpse of David Harbour as the “Red Guardian” in the first trailer for Black Widow. But weren’t we all a little distracted by Baby Yoda and holiday shopping back then? Yeah. I was, too. Now we can get back to what really matters: thinking about David Harbour as Red Guardian and wondering if he is really Black Widow’s dad....

Why Paddington 2 Should Win Best Picture At The 2019 Oscars

How is this even possible? We honestly are as bewildered as you are, but rather than focus on the mistakes of the past (Bohemian Rhapsody for Best Picture? Really?) we are going to look to the hope of the future and humbly ask that Oscar voters look into their hearts and do what they know is right by casting their vote for everyone’s favorite Peruvian bear. Because while pretentious critics may scoff at the notion of a “kid’s movie sequel” winning Best Picture, this antiquated thinking ignores the fact that, in a weak year for film, Paddington 2 was the best and most important movie of 2018....

Why I Divored My Husband 8 Women Explain

“It had been a long time coming.” It was amicable. We both decided that we wanted to leave each other. I think that it had been a long time coming. We were both pretty unhappy in the marriage, but we never talked about it. We were in a sexless marriage for 10 or 15 years. We were living separate lives. He was doing his thing and I was doing my thing....

Why We Act So Childishly Around Our Families

It happens. Family get-togethers always include second-helpings and second-guessing. The second guessings usually come after the family pokes holes in your new business ideas, flash faces of disapproval in the way you handle a parenting moment, or do something that undermines who you now are. Even more dangerous than the disapproving family, however, are the negative voices that creep into your head. “In these moments, voices in our head start to second guess our actions, even if you had a foolproof plan,” says Danielle Knox, a clinical social worker who focuses on child and adolescent psychiatry....

Will I Cheat On My Wife What To Do If You Re Worried

“Men who fear cheating on their partners are less likely to commit infidelity,” Jeanette Raymond, a psychologist and psychotherapist told Fatherly.“Those who don’t worry about it so much are likely to be seduced into committing adultery, usually in an effort to draw attention to a problem in the relationship that can’t be addressed directly.” In Raymond’s experience, cheating and concerns about cheating often come from the same place, an unresolved issue in the relationship....

Marvel Studios president, Kevin Feige, previously alluded to big plans for the character in the future of the MCU, including a presence in films. But how exactly remains to be seen, for reasons that become increasingly clear as the series progresses. Let’s just say, it’s hard to imagine Moon Knight eating shawarma alongside Thor, Captain Marvel, and Shang-Chi. But, is a bigger crossover in the works for Moon Knight?

Yes People Really Aren T Naming Their Babies Karen Anymore

According to the popular website BabyNames.com, the name ‘Karen’ is losing popularity as a baby name, and fast. Baby Names Podcast co-host Jennifer Moss said this of the formerly hugely popular name: “In the past six months, we’ve had zero people adding it to their favorite name list [on the site]. It goes to show that there’s definitely a stigma attached to the name. We had people adding it until six to seven months ago....

“These are the roots of empathy,” Jana says. “It’s literally walking in another person’s shoes.” Jana notes that pretending is an incredibly powerful tool for a kid. And when children are given fresh wardrobe, scrubs, for example, they are also handed an opportunity to alter their outlook. Now, presented with a problem, they can offer specific new solutions. Do they know how to intubate a patient or manage crippling debt?...

Cold Pursuit Review Liam Neeson S Worst Action Movie Has A Great Message

Despite getting positive reviews from the critics, Cold Pursuit is a mess of a movie. It shifts tones several times with no explanation. There is a long stretch where Liam Neeson’s character is not even in the movie. And the abrupt ending feels like the writers just decided to stop halfway through and hope the audience wouldn’t notice. But while Cold Pursuit is by no means a great action movie, it is a great movie for parents, as it cleverly subverted the vigilante action dad trope while pointing out some harsh truths about what how so many parents focus on the wrong things and end up failing their kids and themselves....

I Hate My Job 7 Healthy Ways Of Coping With A Job You Can T Stand

Whatever the case, sticking it out at company or in a role you can’t stand can take a major toll on your mental health — not to mention your ability to be present with your family. Sure, you’re making your mortgage payments, but you run the risk of burnout or simply having your hatred of work bleed into your personality. If quitting your job simply isn’t an option at the moment, it’s important to prioritize your own well-being – and that, of course, requires a bit of strategy, both on the job and at home....

And, when you’re a parent, almost none of those things are good. Some of the best tweets were more simple than clever, as they perfectly captured the insanity that comes with raising kids.

Star Wars Night Light Review The Death Star Plans In Your Kid S Bedroom

It is an undisputed fact that kids are weird. That like to sleep with weird shit in their beds (A giant sloth? Check. Seven piled-up blankets resembling an ungainly garbage heap? Second check.). And they have even more weird bedtime routines that we as parents do not question because hey, whatever it takes, am I right? A key part of that bedtime ritual is the night light. Kids love having stuff project onto their ceilings, be it a regular solar system, or one where they might encounter droids and massive starships....
