That’s what a new study suggests. Researchers at the University of Connecticut found that both male and female spouses are more likely to cheat when they’re economically dependent on their mate. So this goes for stay at home moms, too. But the tendency is much stronger for dependent husbands. There is a 5 percent chance for wives who are completely dependent on their husbands to have an affair. But there’s a 15 percent chance for husbands who are completely dependent on their wives to cheat....

The reason it happens anyway is because we will always find our biggest dating successes with younger women. In our early 30s, they’re like mail-order brides just grateful to have escaped Eastern Europe. There’s no talk about children or how we intend to provide. All we need to do to impress them is not live with our parents. When we settle down with one, the age gap is occasionally irksome....

Nope. It’s actually time for YOU to stop keeping score. This is a friendship, after all — not a friendship contest. (Totally different.) Still, many (read: all) of us get caught up in tracking who’s giving and receiving more in a friendship. Which isn’t a good thing, because we are sure we are ALWAYS the giver. And feel hyper-prickly and annoyed about it. Shasta Nelson, the founder of GirlFriendCircles.com, a female friendship matching site, interviewed over 1,000 women about this very subject for her new book, Frientimacy: How to Deepen Friendships for Lifelong Health and Happiness....

Fat-phobic folks question why “a guy like that” would go for “a girl like her,” or wonder if he’s got some sort of fetish Body-positive Instagrammer “Jazzy” has heard it before — from others and from herself — and cleared up this bogus line of thinking in a recent post online. A post shared by Jazzy (@a_body_positive_jazzy) on Jun 3, 2017 at 1:30am PDT “It’s a shame that people have to be so hateful, look at the picture… does anyone look unhappy?...

“Menthol has a cooling effect, which will help calm the discomfort of a sunburn,” Howard Sobel, a New York City-based dermatologist told Allure. “If there is aloe in the shaving cream, it will work as an anti-inflammatory, and help relieve the irritation of burnt skin.”

And if you believe the results of this new study, my bad temper is the reason I suck at relationships. In fact, it could be the reason people get divorced … if the wife is the feisty one who can’t cool down after a disagreement. This really pisses me off.

For some, the baby shower is a fun party to celebrate the impending arrival of Junior. But for most moms-to-be, it is a dreaded event. You have to find something decent to wear even though you feel rather like a whale. You have to have energy, smile, and be social when you just want to lay around in your sweats on the couch. Last but not least, they will make you play those downright horrible baby shower games....

The key is to get informed, and know your rights. In many cases there are exemptions. Yes, there are strong opinions about this issue, and as always you are invited to comment — constructively — below. But this post is intended more so to help the moms who have already carefully considered and made this important choice, rather than to debate the pros and cons of immunizations. I asked a few non-vaccinating CafeMoms, Jessy0419 and FiberMama, to share their experiences so other moms can be prepared when the times comes: How do you find a doctor that will welcome you to his practice?...

I think most moms know of the March of Dimes — they’re a non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of premature and still births, as well as the leading research in care of premature babies. Right now, they’re working with 40 North Carolina hospitals to prevent premature birth by preventing unneeded inductions — and their message? I know, I know … how rude of them to tell women what to do with their bodies....

I fault some of the medical community for poisoning our minds into thinking we need drugs to have our babies. And then we need more drugs. We need to schedule this. We need to get baby out now way before it’s time. Let’s schedule a c-section because the holiday is coming up and I want to go on vacation with my family so let’s get this baby out. Well, this just in!...

From rants about how her daughter could never own too many pairs of Spanx to play-by-plays of how she’s attempting to make her a match on JDate (even though Kate already has a boyfriend, referred to only as “SuperJew”), Kate’s mom has the Internet in stitches. Of course, part of Crazy Jewish Mom’s appeal is that she doesn’t pull any punches. She implores her daughter to diet, work out, and be no more than a size 2, wear lots of sexy lingerie (so “SuperJew” will propose, of course!...

First, a little background: After Aboumrad was the first chef to be eliminated back in December, she ranted to the press about Colicchio. She not only complained that he treated her unfairly on the show, she also took shots at his use of corn-fed beef in his restaurants and his Diet Coke endorsement, saying, “Fame gets to your head and makes it grow, very sadly … He has become someone who is not all about the food anymore....

Parents may not know what “causes” autism, but more parents than ever have become vocal advocates for their children. And so it seems fitting that as we don blue clothing and plaster everything in sight with puzzle pieces, we also look at some quotes that celebrate the children and adults with what Autism Speaks terms the “fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S.” as well as the parents who are at their side every step of the way....

Washing. It’s actually healthier to wash your hair as little as possible. This allows your hair’s natural oils to build up again and moisturize your hair. Everyday washing can make it dry and brittle. The older you get, the less natural oils you have, so you can go longer without it looking greasy. I only wash my hair about once a week now; depending on your hair, you may need to wash more — or maybe you can go longer....
