I wouldn’t consider myself a big drinker. I maybe drink a beer a night. Some nights I don’t have a beer at all and some weekend nights I might have more than one. But lately, my second grader has been shaming me every time I crack a beer. She tells me I drink too much. I don’t know where she got the idea. How do I tell her I’m fine?...
My wife and I just welcomed a baby girl into the world! I’m super stoked and I want to be an involved dad, but in the first month she’s been home I haven’t changed any diapers. The problem is I just don’t know how to clean her parts. I grew up with two brothers, you know? I don’t want to do something wrong and scar both of us for life....
Fatherly, My kid is four and all the parents of kids in her preschool are getting them into stuff like music classes and ice skating classes and soccer classes. Every time I’m picking her up the other parents are asking me if I have her signed up for this thing or that thing and it started when my daughter was 3-years-old. I want her to have fun and learn and all that, but that’s why we have her in preschool in the first place....

Jynx is Jynx Revell Antonio Cromartie. Jordan is named after Michael Jordan....
“At a very early age, I had to say no to parts that represented Iranians as terrorists and victims,” Moayed tells Fatherly. “Both of which, we’re obviously not.” Although Moayed’s acting career has been going strong for roughly twenty years, 2021 was a very big year for the 41-year-old father of two. From his ongoing role as Stewy Hosseini in Succession to entering the MCU as Agent Cleary in Spider-Man: No Way Home to playing Todd in the new Netflix binge-hit Inventing Anna, Moayed is seemingly everywhere right now....

At the moment, Peter Jackson and his partner, Fran Walsh, are not involved with The War of the Rohirrim. Interestingly, however, The War of the Rohirrim is meant to connect with Jackson’s Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, at least tangentially. Philippa Boyens, who co-wrote all three Lord of the Rings films (winning an Oscar for The Return of the King) and all three of the Hobbit adventures, is on board as a consultant....
“So Smalls – aka my son four-year-old son Flynn – got his first black eye playing baseball and I knew exactly what to do,” Renna said in the Tik-Tok. Renna then filmed himself slapping a piece of uncooked steak onto his son’s eye (don’t worry, parenting police, Flynn is very clearly in on the joke, as the video ends with the two laughing). True Sandlot fans will immediately recognize the reference, as Renna is imitating the parenting style of Smalls’ stepdad Bill....
WalletHub wanted to determine which cities were the happiest in the United States. Using data, WalletHub compared the 182 of the largest cities in the country looking at key indicators of what would make a city happy. The data pulls out 30 relevant metrics and ranked each city’s average based on maximum happiness. Some of those metrics included how many hours is spent at work, access to sports, and getting enough sleep....
According to Forbes, an analysis of federal data shows that the hyper-infectious delta variant of the coronavirus has resulted in skyrocketing cases of kids falling ill just as the school season begins. Most of these cases are seen in the southern states, where mask mandates are absent, and where there are low rates of vaccination. As always, it’s important to note that kids still make up a small share of total hospitalizations and positive cases of COVID-19 compared to adults....
Chances are, if you’ve heard Hood — birth name, Antoine McCollister — it was on his 2013 super hit, “Bugatti.” The video has racked up 270,000,000 views. That’s the equivalent of one view per every inhabitant of Brazil and Bermuda. It went platinum and reached #33 on the Billboard chart and remains impossible to forget. A gritty Florida banger with a strong hook — “I woke up in a Bugatti” said like a gazillion times — it’s a cri de coeur of conspicuous consumption....
When Ariel and Brandon Pierpoint met, Ariel was already five months pregnant. However, she didn’t know it — and wouldn’t for another month. She found out, told Brandon, and they decided to continue dating. In the end, it worked out. Today, they have a three year old son and just recently married. Of course, the transition from casually dating to caring for a child together wasn’t easy. Here, the couple talk about skipping the honeymoon period, how they work intimacy into their marriage, why couples therapy was such a great decision, and the big thing that keeps their relationship happy....
Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) for Black babies was 10.8 per 1,000 live births, which is over double the rate of white babies in the U.S. and nearly double the national average of 5.9 per 1,000 live births. That places America 26th among developed nations (behind Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia) in infant mortality. A study in the Ohio Journal of Public Health last year offered a damning interpretation of the dire statistics....
So what’s a responsible marijuana user to do? How long does marijuana stay in your system anyway? And is there a threshold for passing the test? Here’s what the science says. How Long Marijuana Stays In Your System After you use marijuana, your body has to break down THC, the active ingredient. THC gets into the bloodstream and is temporarily stored in fat and organs, according to Healthline. Long after you come down from your high, the liver has to process the THC and break it into metabolites, which is what drug tests detect....
They certainly do. So, it should be no surprise that sex after 40 is different for every couple. And, as couples age and grow together, their sexual needs change and deepen. For many women, their sexual peak in their 40’s comes alongside a deepening of an acceptance and understanding of what their body looks like, wants, and needs. Sex after 40, basically, is a whole new ball game — and it should be liberating because of that....
“Avoidant individuals have learned from their upbringing that the best thing they can do is to hide their emotions, to hold things back,” Elaine Scharfe, a psychology professor at Trent University, told Fatherly. “Men are much more likely to become avoidant than women. This is because of the way we raise men to be self-sufficient and not show their feelings. Big boys don’t cry.” Scharfe studies insecure attachment in adults, and has found that there are two flavors of avoidant behavior—fearful and dismissive....
“Finding the right amount of confidence can be tricky for many men,” says Dr. Gilbert E. Franco, a professor of psychology at Beacon College in Leesburg, Fla. “Many want to be confident, but do not know how. Some men may have not had confident male role models; others may be experiencing inner factors such as depression or anxiety.” Understanding how to act confidently without coming off as arrogant is an essential skill, one that can help with relationships with coworkers, friends, and family....
Take an Interest in Their History Every family is a tribe with their own values, traditions, and history. It pays to be interested in all of them, but especially the latter. No, you probably don’t want to ask about That One Cousin they never speak of who maybe, definitely did that thing the papers said he did. But you do want to ask about that deli Nana owned or how great Uncle Gus helped build the Erie Canal....
“The most important thing to realize out of the gate is that your co-parenting agreements, whatever they are, are for your kids,” says Karen Bonnell, a co-parenting mediator, coach, mentor and co-author of The Co-Parenting Handbook. “They’re not for you and your spouse. They’re for you to be the best parents you can be across two households. But we need to look at them through the lens of ‘What is the impact on our children?...
Beard dandruff affects a staggering number of guys nowadays, but because it’s not something men bond over so much, it doesn’t get as much attention as it should. There’s also a striking difference between having dry skin that tends to flake and an actual beard dandruff condition, so let’s dive deeper into all things beard health with two experts: Dr. Daniel Belkin, MD from the New York Dermatology Group and New York City barber and men’s grooming expert Jason Biggs of Babe of Brooklyn to get the full story on beard dandruff....
