During Thursday night’s dueling televised town halls for the presidential election, former Vice President Joe Biden had a moment that cut through the noise for many parents of LGBTQ children. When the Democratic candidate addressed the mother of a transgender child, his (sometimes awkward) words held a promise of equality and freedom that many have felt under threat during the current administration. “I’m the proud mom of two girls, 8 and 10,” Mieke Haeck said on the ABC News special....

Since Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth has been on TV for more than half her life, she’s a little more adept at preparing for home videos than the rest of us — even when she’s giving birth. The Counting On star showed herself to be poised and camera-ready almost the entire 12-plus minutes of the edited Youtube video of her labor and delivery of second child, Evelyn Mae Forsyth. She even pauses to do her makeup amid some serious contractions....

Being a working mom is never easy. Between the mom guilt and work guilt, it can feel like you just can’t win. And if you work in a predominately male-run industry, the stress can be completely overwhelming. Megan Fox recently opened up about her experience as a mother and an actor in male-run Hollywood and boy does it sound familiar. It seems weird to feel sympathy for the rich and famous, but in this case, we really do....

When I married my daughters’ dad, a native of Ivory Coast in West Africa, one of my greatest joys came from knowing that my girls (now 8 and 10 years old) would get to learn about African culture. I’m not talking about the stuff you learn in books. I mean the language, the food, and the pride that comes from knowing what tribe your great-great-great-grandfather came from. I assumed this would thrill my kids, too, but it hasn’t worked out that way....

For the loved ones of the more than 208,000 people lost to the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, it can be difficult to find the right words of comfort. What can you say when they saw someone they love hurting, deeply sick and had to watch it happen again and again around the country with relative inaction and rampant misinformation from the highest offices of government? But there’s a longer list of things you probably shouldn’t say if you’re trying to be compassionate or give the impression that you care for these grieving people — things President Donald Trump managed to rattle off in one of his tweets following his COVID-19 diagnosis last week....

There are still so many unknowns about COVID-19 and the safety of sending children back to school this year, but we know at least this much: This works only if everyone considers the health and safety of others as well as themselves. So, if your kid is sick and literally tests positive for the virus, maybe don’t send them to school, the way one family in Massachusetts did this week?...

Although Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have made California their new home, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex still maintain a presence in the United Kingdom. The couple and their two children, son Archie, 2, and daughter Lilbet, 8 months, have yet to return to the U.K. to visit the royal family, but if and when that time comes, it looks like they’ll have a place to stay — which also ensures Harry is still an important member of the royal family....

It’s impossible to even bring up electric knives without making a reference to their origins. Indeed, electric knives are a retro throwback and bring to mind Mad Men-era dinner parties and a post-war fixation on gadgets and chemicals to fix all of life’s smallest woes. While many a parent and grandparent likely have an electric knife rusting in a garage somewhere, there’s reason to revisit this kitchen device. Electric knives are typically two serrated blades that move back and forth to slice....

With summer finally here, now’s the time when your teen may be looking for a summer job that could potentially extend into the fall. There are plenty of opportunities out there, but when it comes to finding the perfect position for your teen, one that requires minimal skills and offers part-time hours for flexibility to accommodate their busy school schedules is the way to go. After all, if they do decide to keep their job when school starts back up, you’ll want to be assured that their schoolwork doesn’t fall behind....

From toddlerhood through the teenage years, for whatever reason, kids loathe cleanliness. From their bedrooms to their school bags, they seem to thrive off organized chaos, huffing and puffing when forced to clean their room. But while it’s one thing to have a messy closet, it’s another to have a messy school locker. Locker organizers ensure textbooks and supplies are readily available and always visible. Additional shelves allow students to arrange their essentials by their class schedules, while magnetic pockets provide them with a place to store pens, markers, calculators and the like....

Forget what you’ve heard about maternity wear because clothing for expecting mothers has vastly improved over the years. Maternity dresses especially have been reimagined and redesigned: What were once basically wearable sheets that simply hung over your bump have transformed into flattering, shapely pieces that actually enhance pregnancy curves — not to mention they add some serious style to your wardrobe. Of course, not every brand has upped the ante with its offerings, so shopping for the best maternity dresses can still be trying at times....
