All year long, you dream of summer: lawn sprinklers, trampolines, ice pops and fireworks. Of the adventures your family will have. And then you blink, and it’s that time again: back-to-school. And while “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” might indeed play in your head on repeat as you think of the kid-free hours you’re about to enjoy, back-to-school time can also be incredibly stressful — for kids and adults alike....

Reddit is coming for a long-closeted lesbian mother who is attempting to keep her teen daughter closeted while claiming she unconditionally supports her no matter her sexuality. Yep, we know; it’s puzzling, to say the least. It gets worse though — the reason she’s doing so is for financial support from her homophobic parents. It’s even messier than it sounds. The mother took to Reddit to hash out the situation and get some feedback on if she’s the a—hole....

EnglishIt’s been a weird year and it’s even weirder if you’re planning a wedding during these crazy times. With so many venues closed due to the coronavirus, couples everywhere are starting to think outside the box when it comes to planning their big day. Of course, this means thinking of ways to keep everyone safe and socially distant during the event and possibly even cutting down the guest list to just close family and friends....

I think we can all agree that urinary tract infections are the top 5 worst things anyone can experience. They’re painful, and uncomfortable and happen quite frequently for some unlucky people. But that doesn’t mean getting a UTI is a hopeless situation, or that there aren’t ways to prevent them in the first place. It also doesn’t mean it should be anything to be ashamed of, especially considering they are so common....

Kids: we love ’em more than life itself, but man do they make that life difficult sometimes. It’s a dichotomy that every parent recognizes, and it’s flawlessly (and hilariously!) captured in the Roku Channel original series Children Ruin Everything, which is soon entering its second season. Created by Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winner Kurt Smeaton (Schitt’s Creek), Children Ruin Everything follows a couple named James (Aaron Abrams) and Astrid (Meaghan Rath) through the trials and tribulations of raising a family....

Once upon a time in human history, children were raised in a group setting, and parents could turn to other members of their community for advice and support. That is, essentially, the kind of community parenting groups try to re-create, both in person and online. There are many flaws with this model, as we’ve seen from recent reports about how race discussions are splintering mom groups on Facebook. It’s made one thing clear to us: Keeping this form of communication alive — for the many benefits it’s provided so many parents — depends on us making them feel like safe places for people of color....

I used to assume that as a mother, my every move would basically be me channeling my memories of my own mom. You could blame the brainwashing of gender norms — which she hated, though she was a stay-at-home mom for much of my childhood. But also, the strength of her personality, a strong, opinionated, strict-as-hell Dominican woman from a long line of strong, opinionated, strict-as-hell Dominican matriarchs, was such that I thought I’d be the same....

If Beale Street Could Talk star Regina King explained on Wednesday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! that she has been having ongoing conversations with her 24-year-old son Ian about police brutality — and that they started long before George Floyd was murdered by police officers last week. “I think in most of Black homes, it’s not just a conversation,” King told Kimmel. “It’s an ongoing conversation…it never stops.” The Oscar winner also acknowledged how painful and infuriating it is — for her and her son — to see history repeat itself again and again through the ongoing senseless violence towards Black Americans....

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission. When it comes to cooking, there’s one element that will absolutely make or break your dish — salt. Salt is a vital ingredient — it enhances the flavor of everything it’s added to, from eggs and meat to fruit and yes, even sweets. But we all get a little carried away sometimes (and raise your hand if you’ve ever had a secret salt fairy “help” you in the kitchen while your back was turned)....

Who among us hasn’t lost hours scrolling social media after what only felt like a few minutes? Watching endless TikToks or Instagram Stories might be a fun distraction, but it can lead to mental health issues, especially among teenagers. To help combat this problem, Instagram launched a “Take a Break” tool to protect teens online on Dec. 7. An announcement was posted to Instagram by Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram....

Childhood hunger is nothing new, but it’s even more widespread now that the coronavirus has disrupted school lunch assistance programs as well as the incomes of parents; some parents are even resorting to dumpster-diving to feed their kids. The New York Times reports that our global food crisis will likely double by the end of the year, leaving 265 million people to face acute hunger. This news is hitting home for a surprising individual: Oprah Winfrey....

What is the role of a grandparent — and why does it seem to be changing so much right now? My siblings and I love our grandparents. We spent many weekends at their house, where I learned a love of black-and-white musicals and the beauty of the stars and the deliciousness of raw cookie dough. And when my grandma on my dad’s side moved close to us, we loved spending time with her, too....

While people are growing more comfortable discussing the emotional aftermath of miscarriage and stillbirth, thanks in part to celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Meghan Markle, we don’t often mention the physical hardships birthing parents experience after a pregnancy loss. One Washington, D.C., teacher who has been denied paid family leave following her daughter’s stillbirth is doing her part to change that. “On December 1, 2020 at 5:30 a.m., I delivered my daughter, Aaliyah Denise, still,” third-grade teacher Elizabeth O’Donnell wrote on Instagram last week, sharing a photo of herself holding her baby....

Even if your desk is primarily a spot where you type on a glowing computer, we’re here to tell you that you still need a desk lamp. The reason? Having a light source can actually make you more productive: light can increase focus, and help you avoid eye strain. Desk lamps can also provide warm light to work by and are much more soothing than harsh, overhead lighting, plus they can add a touch of flair to your home office or work desk....

If you’re continually tossing and turning throughout the night, trying to find a pain-free position, you might think it’s time for a new mattress. There’s an easier solution than investing in a whole new king-size, though: Add a mattress topper to your existing bed for a new and upgraded sleep experience. Whether your mattress feels too firm, is no longer comfortable, or is (ahem) noisy, a mattress topper will add an extra layer of plushness that can conform to your body and reduce pressure on your joints....

There’s no age cap on really good sex — despite what so much about our culture says about people in bodies over the age of 40. While menopause and perimenopause bring a number of changes to your body (particularly from everything going on in your vulva region perspective), that doesn’t mean your sex life needs to slow down. It just means, as you enter this new phase of your reproductive life, you might have different (and potentially better) taste in the kind of sex that feels best to you at any given time!...
