But there are other things us women want that we may not readily admit to yet can be a deal-breaker. I asked many women from all over the country about what they really want in a man. Some of these qualities may surprise some men, but I think all of us ladies have at least some of these on our ’list.’ How many of these things would make your list?...

These six women’s tales put a whole new spin on childbirth, one that highlights the comedy in it all. Expectant moms will find themselves hoping for their own delivery bloopers when the time comes. Who wouldn’t want to erupt in giggles during such high drama to break the tension? Why should giving birth be so serious? Why can’t we just have a little fun with it? It’s true what they say, you know: Laughter really is the best medicine....
And, other than the penchant for baby boys to let loose a fountain of pee at almost every diaper change, I didn’t see much difference between my baby boys and my friends’ baby girls. That lasted until about age 2½ when I realized how many things no one had ever told me about having little boys. I mean, really. I had heard that they were loud (and they are) and that they like trucks and cars and things that go vroom (and they do), but I thought that was it....

We asked Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, founder and director of Capital Laser & Skin Care, for the scoop on how to (and how not to) keep your bikini line groomed. Additionally, if you want to avoid razor burn or ingrown hairs, be sure to shave with a sharp, new razor, and not an old one you had lying around. To combat a nick, Dr. Tanzi recommends holding pressure on the nick until it stops bleeding, then applying Aquaphor....
Boy, are those days gone. It’s now pretty much possible to locate and stalk every boyfriend you’ve had since kindergarten. Not that you plan on doing this, of course, but here are 7 websites that have made it super easy for “ex-boyfriend stalking” to become an international sport and for no one to ever fully get over and past the … well, the past. Facebook: Obviously, this site was more or less created for people who have time on their hands and aren’t afraid to waste it searching for every person they’ve ever loved or had an unrequited crush on....
Squats while you saute? Yes, please! Calf raises while you chop? You can do it! Even better: those little bouts of feeling the burn while manning the burner can actually add up. In fact, a recent study from Oregon State University showed that the health benefits gleaned from small amounts of activity — even as small as one- and two-minute bursts that combine to equal 30 minutes per day — can be just as beneficial as longer bouts of physical exercise when it comes to improving health, minimizing metabolic syndrome, and preventing high blood pressure/cholesterol....
Beware of seeing people through your “post-divorce goggles,” says family therapist Dr. Stephanie Manes. “Remember your vulnerability can cloud your judgment.” Those goggles could make some people look better if you’re desperately lonely — or worse, if you’re determined to avoid repeating mistakes — than they really are. Take things slowly. Dr. Manes cautions against rushing into a relationship. “A small dating rejection or disappointment can feel like a blow from a wrecking ball when you are still trying to heal from a divorce....

It doesn’t exactly help that everyone and their grandma has an opinion on only children. Not sure if you made the right choice — or still debating? This might help! We looked at what the scientists — not your nosy neighbor — have to say about only children! They’re happier. Plenty of kids love their siblings, but not all! In fact, scientists at the Institute for Social and Economic Research found that sibling rivalry makes for unhappy kids!...
But for all the stories admonishing Torry Hansen for not understanding there’s no such thing as a return policy on adopted children are the parents who are living her story — and sympathizing with her actions. Helen, a mother of two adopted daughters from Russia, agreed to speak with The Stir (on condition of anonymity to protect her family) about being on a first-name basis with the police in her town and daily fears that she’ll return home to find her house burned to the ground....

When I had twin boys four years ago and became a mom myself, I spent the first few years following in my parents’ footsteps, forcing my family through a packed social calendar from Thanksgiving through Christmas, all in hopes of giving my kids magical memories of the season. But to be honest, we were going through the motions of all these activities more than actually enjoying any of them. So I did what millennials are infamous for: I quit....
The army is one of the few occupations where your boss can publicly denounce your hairstyle in front of your coworkers, and where choosing an unconventional hairstyle could threaten your career and livelihood. Black army veteran Krystol Madison, who served from 2003 to 2011 and was deployed twice to Iraq, spoke to Revelist about the many challenges Black woman face when serving in the US and abroad. Although today Madison is a makeup artist who boldly rocks her natural hair in an Afro, she knows what it’s like to search all over for a relaxer while in Iraq and be constantly scrutinized for her hairstyles by her male superiors....
First, some background in case you’re not familiar with the book: It’s about a mom who rocks her baby to sleep and sings him a little song — every night. Even once the boy has moved out and has a family of his own, Mom still sneaks to sing him this little ditty. Creepy, right? Total case of helicopter mom gone haywire … yet my opinion changed once I learned that the author’s inspiration were his two stillborn babies....
It’s sad to watch someone with so much determination to chip at themselves, procedure by procedure, until they’ve outwardly become a completely different person. Most of us don’t have the money to fuel a plastic surgery addiction But I wonder how many of us would nip at this or tuck at that if money wasn’t a consideration and we could naturally make the change, meaning we weren’t destined to end up having a sneaky pic of our backside end up a topic of conversation on somebody’s Facebook page....
Yow. It’s a horrible thought. But it happens. A husband (who’s laid off, BTW) told his wife, a member of the Stay at Home Moms group, that she should take the kids with her to her doctor’s appointment because it’s not his job to watch them. Now that’s another topic for discussion and possibly divorce court, but … Have you ever lugged the kids along to one of your own doctor’s appointments?...
