Can you imagine never seeing Britney Spears perform again in her lifetime? It’s hard to believe since the pop star is only 38 years old, but after the ruling on her conservatorship case, Spears has said she won’t perform as long as her father is in charge of her career. In a hearing on Tuesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny is keeping things status quo with Spears’ estranged father, Jamie Spears, who still in charge of her conservatorship....

I’m sorry, and you’re welcome. That’s the sum of what I want to tell my son when he’s old enough to understand what’s made his mom so frustrating and unpredictable. As an ADHD mom, that “I’m sorry” is instinctive to me by now. But I hope to find a lot more to say “you’re welcome” for, too. He might not yet recognize the chaos I bring into our lives, but when he does, I hope he can read this:...

It’s the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature is stirring… except for your wide-awake kids who are super-jazzed for the big holiday. How the heck do you maintain routines and keep their sleep habits rolling along smoothly when you’ve got kids amped for a big celebration the next day? We checked with a few experts to see if there is something — anything — we parents can do to help our kids chill out and bunk down when the biggest holidays of the year are fast approaching....

If you’re taking a minute to read this with your baby safely nearby, odds are a sense of mom guilt might be creeping in. But wait! Before you put the phone down and rush toward your baby, let this clip from Jeannie Mai Jenkins’ show, Hello Hunnay, be a lesson in why it can sometimes be a good thing to step back (physically and/or metaphorically) from your child. In the video, Jenkins stares straight-faced at her 1-year-old daughter, Monaco, who is sitting safely in her car seat....

Princess Diana rocked the British Royal Family to its core with her 1995 interview on BBC’s Panorama, offering a uniquely candid look at the one of the most famous royal marriages to date, that between her and 12-years-her-senior Prince Charles. The comment that rang ’round the world was the infamous quip that “there were three of us in this marriage” — but according to a new documentary revisiting that very interview, Diana’s on-air commentary could have been much worse....

Indeed, Witherspoon is speaking from a place of immense privilege. After all, she is white, and wealthy, and her son is never going to fear for his life simply because of the color of his skin. But does that mean parents like Witherspoon — like any of us white folks — are exempt from addressing systemic racism with our kids and speaking out against it and against police violence? Hell no....

We’re not ashamed to admit it. We are totally addicted to Starbucks — but with the news that several cafes are closing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re all wondering what we will do if we aren’t able to get our daily Starbucks fix. Now, when I say Starbucks is closing their cafes, that doesn’t mean Starbucks will be completely unavailable because delivery and drive-thru will still be open, but you won’t be able to step inside and enjoy your coffee in one of Starbucks’ cafes....

Babies need different types of toys depending on their age, interests, and stage in life, so it’s not always a one-size-fits all scenario when it comes to picking out the best baby toy for your little one. Whether they need something musical, interactive, or more simple, there is an option for them that will help them develop early motor skills while having fun at the same time. Best of all, having them busy will buy you some time to get things done at home....

Mother’s Day was canceled for one particular family this year — and it’s pretty impossible to dispute the reasoning. A dad took to Reddit’s AITA forum to share the awful exchange that led to him nixing his wife’s celebration and users quickly rallied around him. “I (M/37) have a 13 y.o son. I was a widower when I met my now wife,” he wrote. “She has a 16 y.o daughter from another relationship....

Finding the perfect name for your baby can be an arduous process. Do you go for something simple and elegant? Something unique and creative? Something that’s representative of your heritage? Parents of twins have double the baby name struggle: They have to find two perfect names. To make it all the more difficult, those names also need to sound nice together since parents will likely spend most of the next 18 years shouting them together as if they were one word....

You may not know Lindsay Rechler by name (yet) but if you’re a parent, chances are you’ve heard of (and/or read 18x before bed) Rechler’s hit children’s book, Good Morning Zoom. Rechler, who normally works in banking, was inspired to write the book when she and her husband Zack — like so many of us parents in 2020 — had to learn to be distance-learning teachers (and chefs and coaches and more) for their kids....

They say it is better to give than to receive, but we’ve gotta be honest — it sounds like the best option is to be on the receiving end of extravagant celebrity gift-givers. Most of us don’t live in a world where our generosity has little to no financial constraints. So, in our defense, we couldn’t exactly be quite this giving if we wanted to. But because stars have bank accounts we plebes can hardly wrap our heads around, they tend to be extra when handing out presents to the people they love....

Bethenny Frankel is yelling her disdain for Meghan Markle‘s “business strategy” from the rooftops of TikTok, but here’s what the reality TV star might not be considering: The Duchess of Sussex may not be interested in building a brand so much as sharing her authentic self to connect with people who relate to her. Frankel brands Meghan Markle a “polarizing person” in her critical video, and she’s not exactly wrong. But Meghan’s “poor decisions,” in Frankel’s words, haven’t been made in the name of business strategy or branding or the public perception of the royal family — they’ve been made for her own mental wellbeing, the health of her and Prince Harry’s marriage, and the safety and privacy of their children....

Besides providing care and nourishment and love for our children, parents should provide the little routines that make kids feel comfortable while giving them structure in their lives, and as they grow, responsibilities. Being responsible can help your child feel important, but it also lets them know that they matter and can contribute to their family and even their community. So when your children are growing and family life gets busy, it makes sense to begin giving your little ones responsibilities around the house....
