Let’s be real — many of us have reached that age where tuning into the MTV Video Music Awards is one great big guessing game. Who is that? What are they singing? Is Taylor Swift coming? The proverbial MTV torch has been passed to the newer generations, meaning you might feel a little out of the loop. But while you may not immediately recognize the 2020 MTV VMAs performers and nominees, they’ll likely sound familiar since you may very well be raising a member of the circa-2020-MTV-VMAs target demo....

Babies bring so much light into our lives. They’re pure, full of joy, and they’ve got giggles for days. Plus, every baby deserves a brilliant name that will inspire their sunlit paths in life — encouraging them to shine on, even in moments when the world feels wrapped in darkness. That’s why we’re loving all kinds of baby names that mean “light” right now. We’ve rounded up some of our favorites, including unique baby names like Ner and Nura, as well as more familiar classic names like Lucy and Dawn....

Telemedicine CEO Sam Johnson found himself in hot water after a video of the VisuWell exec harassing a Tennessee high school senior Dalton Stevens went viral, according to Newsweek. In the video captured by Stevens’ boyfriend Jacob Geittmann, the teen couple and Johnson seem to be caught in the middle of an altercation over the red floor-length prom dress Stevens is wearing. “I chose what I wanna wear so you can fuck off,” Stevens says in response to something that was said before the video began....

Parents, are you looking for ways to keep your family safe amid this winter’s “tripledemic” and the regular spread of winter germs? Consider the bivalent COVID-19 booster, which is now recommended for all children 6 months and older. Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced its approval of the latest COVID-19 booster shot for children 6 months through 5 years of age. The updated version of the vaccine offers greater protection against newer strains of the virus, such as Omicron....

So many people talk about the havoc newborn babies wreak on parents’ lives, it’s truly amazing to us when we hear of a new mom or dad sounding surprised about how hard those early weeks are. One mom just took to Reddit to describe her husband’s postpartum struggles, which he would like to use as an excuse to go on a “boys’ trip” when their newborn daughter is just 3 weeks old....

Given our Puritanical history, nudity and sex are dealt with very differently in the U.S. than they are in some other countries. Many European nations show topless women on broadcast TV without a second thought, and whole families gather in German parks with nude sunbathers without concern. However, other cultures and religions from around the world are even more “modest,” with Islam perhaps being the most strict. For one stepmom who married her husband eight years ago, seven years after he stopped practicing as a Muslim, these differing expectations around what is appropriate are causing major problems now that her stepson has hit puberty....

Nurseries have traditionally come in two colors: baby pink and baby blue. And those who preferred the air of surprise favored a third, more gender-neutral option: baby yellow. In 2020, though, unisex nurseries have become not only popular, but absolutely abundant—and in an array of colors, too. Expecting parents are proving there’s no singular right way to decorate a gender-neutral nursery. There are loads of ways to—each of them as lovely as the last....

Some days are bad days. Maybe it was dark and rainy when you woke up. Maybe you hit the wine a little hard last night, and you’re feeling bloated (and, not to mention, headache-y). Maybe you’ve been going through something lately. But no matter the reason, you’ve encountered some kind of bad day and it might make you feel less than in love with your body. And when a bad day comes, you want something, anything, to make you feel better....

Moms and dads, picture this: A land where preschool is free for all 3- and 4-year-olds, there are subsidized childcare costs for kids under 5 so families don’t go broke having their kids cared for while going to work, and everyone gets two free years of community college!
