Dr. Katie Waldman is an emergency room specialist. She has a TikTok account where she shares a variety of videos. But her “safety first” video on how to safely wear a seatbelt while pregnant has gone viral. Dr. Waldman filmed the PSA in her car to share the story of a pregnant mom who had been through her ER after a car crash. “Yesterday I was working in the emergency department, and I was looking after a young lady who was in her 3rd trimester of pregnancy and unfortunately, she had been involved in a car accident,” she said....

Dani DeVito (seriously) shared a video of her son Matt and husband Greg having a conversation while Matt is perched atop the toilet, a relatively new experience for him. Asked repeatedly if he pooped, Matt denies, denies, denies. “Wait you didn’t poop?” “No, I peed!” “I thought you pooped too?” “I didn’t poop! I peed!” It goes on like that for a while, and Greg has more and more trouble keeping it together as his son grows more and more insistent....

Today, Apple TV dropped a trailer for a new documentary just called DADS. We’ve seen this documentary, so we can tell you in advance, it’s 100 percent worth your time. Basically, the documentary blends together the stories of everyday dads from a variety of backgrounds, throws in some commentary from famous dads — like Kennan Thompson, Judd Apatow, and Patton Oswalt — and also gives you a sense of what Ron Howard was like as a dad to Bryce Dallas Howard....

Pachi Pachi Clappy You know that Zen koan that asks, “What is the sound of one hand clapping?” Here’s your answer. A lot of Japanese toys seem to exist just for the sake of existing, but Pachi Pachi Clappy has some cultural relevance. Clapping in Japan is a pervasive custom before meals, during prayers and to conclude special events like business negotiations. So maybe pick up 2 — one for your kid and one for you to whip out the next time you close a deal with a Japanese client and clap your “big soft squishy hands” together “in as manic a way as you like....

The other was the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. According to the Congressional Research Service summary, it “responds to the coronavirus outbreak by providing paid sick leave and free coronavirus testing, expanding food assistance and unemployment benefits, and requiring employers to provide additional protections for health care workers.” In other words, it does a lot. Here’s what you need to know about the first major benefit expansion of the COVID-19 era that hopefully won’t be the last....

I don’t know what great is, but I know what fine feels like. And, for the past few years, we’ve been fine. Not sure our life would sit well with most folks, but we’re getting along alright. We live in a house. Two bedroom. Was my wife’s mothers and we live with her but she passed a few years back and fully left it to us. No mortgage to speak of; was paid off....

Here’s some evidence-based advice on how to come off as less creepy: Read The Room Before You Emote If you display too many, too few, or an unconventional set of emotions in a given scenario, others are likely to express outrage, fear, and want to keep your at a greater distance, according to one 2012 study. So reading the room and coming up with the right emotion is key to appearing less creepy....

In 2021, the first major bill attacking trans kids was passed in Arkansas, making gender-affirming care for minors a felony, and Alabama has since passed a similar law. Texas has declared gender-affirming care for minors to be child abuse. And Florida issued a nonbinding guidance that advises against even social transitioning, or fully reversible changes like using new pronouns or changing the way you dress. At least 16 states have passed anti-trans sports bills....

“This is a matter of curiosity,” says Deborah Roffman author of Sex & Sensibility: The Thinking Parent’s Guide to Talking Sense About Sex. “If they were looking inside each other’s mouths and making comparisons, we’d say ‘Oh, Isn’t that cute!’” But parents get jumpy when it comes to genitals. That’s because adults are cursed by an understanding that sometimes a pipe is just a pipe but a penis is always a penis–and almost always unwelcome at a party....

“The important point to keep in mind with developmental milestones is that there are ranges for each and every one. So just because your child doesn’t reach a certain one at the age we typically expect them, it isn’t immediately a cause for concern,” explains Tiffany Fischmann, M.D., a pediatrician and neonatologist. “We always look at the whole child and if they are meeting all of their other milestones. But if they haven’t reached one particular one yet, we tend to observe and give it a little time....

How did this happen? Jennifer Berdahl, a professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of British Columbia who studies gender and power in the workplace and co-authored the study “Work as a Masculinity Contest” posits that work, despite strides in gender equality and family forward policies, are still sites of “masculinity contests,” where people are, whether due to virtue signaling from managers and coworkers or explicit instruction, pushed to work longer for less....

Before 1980, the biggest spoiler in all of Star Wars was the fact that Luke Skywalker’s dad was really a guy named Anakin Skywalker who went goth and started calling himself Darth Vader. But who was Darth/Anakin’s daddy? A new in-canon Star Wars comic book reveals that father-figure, and if you follow this stuff, it’s exactly who you think it is. And, with the impending release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hinting at the return of a certain someone long-presumed dead, this twist is a pretty big deal....

“Anything that makes a child sick can make them vomit,” pediatric gastroenterologist Katja Kovacic, M.D., told NPR. “There are numerous, numerous causes.” And it’s not just sickness. Children’s bodies are more sensitive to a variety of vomit-inducing stimuli. “Children may vomit in response to things that wouldn’t make an adult blink: a stubbed toe, for example, or a fever, Kovacic said. Both adults and children throw up via the same basic mechanism....

The cutting edge research on dad voters comes largely courtesy of Jill Greenlee, an Associate Professor of Politics at Brandeis University who has spent the large bulk of her career studying how parenthood affects individual social and political decision-making. In her seminal work “The First-Daughter Effect,” Greenlee and her co-researcher use cross-sectional survey data from the 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Study of 64,000 American adults and individual responses from 1,500 parents to show that views on gender-centric issues like Title IX, the income gap, and sexual harassment laws are correlated with different birth patterns....

“Fat talk, self-disparaging conversations about one’s body size, has mostly been studied in women and viewed as a highly feminine phenomenon,” a team of researchers from Arizona State University wrote in the journal of Psychology of Men & Masculinities. “Using a picture-based elicitation technique (discourse completion task), we clarify that U.S. men recognize and respond to fat talk uttered by other men.“ Studies confirm that men care about how their bodies look and also that self-perception affects them in a different way than women....

“Your head is in the direct path of sun rays, and therefore it is more exposed to their harmful effects,” dermatologist Dr. Viseslav Tonkovic-Capin says. “As the skin on the scalp gets routinely exposed to the sun it gets thinner, with weaker and weaker immune and regenerative functions. That makes it more sensitive to ultraviolet radiation.” Hair has always functioned as a natural form of SPF, protecting skin from ultraviolet rays....

For some couples, the idea of setting goals in a marriage can seem intimidating, and require a too much planning and overthinking. But experts agree that marriage goals are essential in order for a relationship to be successful. “One of the biggest reasons is that it brings expectations out in the open,” says Lesli Doares, a marriage coach and relationship expert and the author of Blueprint for a Lasting Marriage: How to Create Your Happily Ever After with More Intention, Less Work....

The Reddit thread had one mom asking for advice, saying she was pretty sure her husband was using the “I need to poop” excuse to get out of parenting their twins. She felt he was ignoring his duties in favor of playing on his phone while sitting on his porcelain throne. Once she took matters into her own hands: When she turned off the Wifi, the “stomach issues” that had caused him to sit on the toilet for 25 minutes at a time stopped....
