Misinformation and wild, unproven theories about the novel coronavirus have been spreading almost as rapidly as the virus itself in recent months. Meanwhile, cold hard facts about COVID-19 are hard to come by, because the virus is so new, and everything is being studied in real time. That is no reason for parents to take matters into their own hands and experimenting with their kids. But one Reddit user recently discovered a Facebook moms group that had decided to hold coronavirus parties, just like the old-school chicken-pox parties, and it is raising some eyebrows....

Second to becoming a parent, becoming a grandparent has to be one of the most exciting times in a person’s life (maybe even more exciting since your responsibilities are technically fewer, but you still get all of those sweet, sweet baby snuggles). That is, unless you are Redditor throwRAbabyannounced, who posted about their mom’s unusual grandparent move. According to throwRAbaby, her mother’s trouble with the g-word started a decade ago when she got pregnant at 17....

As someone who has depression, which gets significantly worse during the holidays, I basically want to hole up in my apartment between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day and skip all that jolly crap. Unfortunately, that’s not an option, so I spoke with several mental health professionals about why the holidays can be especially rough for people, and what we can do to cope. For starters, we are told repeatedly — even in song — the holidays are “the most wonderful time of the year....

When Kristin Cavallari announced earlier this week that she and husband Jay Cutler had decided to split, all signs pointed to a calm and respectful transition from spouses to exes and co-parents. But that didn’t last long: Just a day later, news broke that Cavallari is now accusing Cutler of misconduct and has filed for primary custody of their three kids (Camden Jack, age 7; Jaxon Wyatt, age 5; and Saylor James)....

Naomi Watts is ready to bring humor to an unexpected place: the conversation around menopause. (Yes, menopause!) The Academy Award-nominated actress and mom of two, 53, is done with the silence and shame that have long surrounded the phase of life that, oh, literally everyone with a uterus on the planet experiences once they get to a certain age — and she’s making it her business to talk about it....

I felt relatively prepared to give birth (which is to say, I didn’t know what the hell to expect, exactly, but I knew to expect pain?), but had no idea about the hours and days afterwards — or what postpartum essentials I’d truly need. I mean, it’s not like I thought I was going to push out a baby and go to SoulCycle the next day, but in all the preparing for the actual birth and then, you know, caring for a baby, I just didn’t think as much about what to buy for postpartum care — the actual physical recovery part....

In yet another day of social media trolls shaming moms for their choices, an eight-months-pregnant weightlifter is showcasing some of the hateful comments she receives on the workout posts she shares. Fitness trainer Yanyah Milutinović recently posted on Instagram a video of herself lifting weights and exercising with pop-up bubbles of the nasty notes she gets about how she is “putting her baby’s life in danger” and saying she is “going to give the baby whiplash....

As a parent, it’s hard to imagine not only making sure your children are well-behaved while attending their first funeral services, but also following all the proper protocol while the eyes of literally the entire world are upon you. When you’re a young royal, though, how to behave appropriately in the spotlight is ingrained in you from a very young age — as was evident when Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, were nothing but poised and proper during the funeral of their great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II....

Pregnancy loss is never an easy topic to talk about. Some people choose to be very vocal about their experience, while others prefer to keep their ordeal to themselves. While it can be hard to know the exact right thing to say to someone who is going through a loss, it’s a pretty good assumption that demanding they host a baby shower two weeks after a still birth is the exact wrong thing....

The decision of where to deliver your baby is sometimes difficult. Those celebrity home births look so lovely to some, while others fear all sorts of worst-case scenarios happening far from a hospital. It’s really not something anyone should take lightly. But is it a decision that dads an non-birthing partners get a say in? One mom and dad are arguing over this very thing. In a since deleted post on the AITA forum, Redditor Euphoric-Parsley3016, wrote that she and her husband were at odds about the logistics surrounding the upcoming birth of their first child together....

Patrick Key, 53, of Marietta, Georgia, was a Cobb County Elementary School art teacher for 23 years before he died of COVID-19 on December 25, 2020. His obituary shared his love of comic books, Star Wars, his pets, and his many family members — including Priscella, his wife of 23 years — as well as one final wish: “Patrick felt passionate about wearing masks during the pandemic. In lieu of flowers, please buy and wear a mask to protect others and yourself in honor of him....

Sometimes, there’s nothing more blissful and rejuvenating than to sit back and relax from your front porch. With your favorite beverage in hand along with great company, it can’t get much better. No matter the season, it’s always a smart idea to equip your front porch with accessories to help you enjoy the space more when you don’t feel like being cooped up inside anymore. The obvious thing to do is to enlist a stylish porch swing to instantly add seating and a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy sunrises and sunsets....
