Cheating is something you can work through. I mean, if bull-headed Miranda Hobbes could forgive Steve, can’t we all? (SATC references FTW!) An affair, depending on its circumstances of course, seems like an obstacle between two people that can be overcome. I wouldn’t forgive my husband if he had a second family in Arizona or something, but I do think I would be open to forgiveness if his affair was a one-night sorta deal....
Many moms balk at the idea of putting diapers back on a newly potty-trained tyke. Some toddler mamas won’t leave home without sticking a travel potty, like the one shown below, in the trunk. I can see how that would work great at the park, but what happens when you’re on a major highway or back road without a shoulder and just can’t pull over? And, for me, $26 is a little pricey for a potty you only use once in a while....
The perks are undeniable. So why do I rarely unroll my yoga mat these days? Simple: Because I’m the single, working mother of 2 kids, and that crazy thing called “me time” is in short supply. I’m pretty much okay with that — I’ve always told myself that self-denial is just part of the parenting deal. Maternal instinct tells us to put our kids first. Maternal instinct told me to put my kids before yoga....
No matter what your kids’ ages, they definitely do not want to hear about what you have in mind. That’s why countless couples have come up with their own secret code words for talking about sex in front of the kids. Sex is work. Some of you make sex sound like a chore. Practical? Yes. Sad? Also yes! “Folding laundry,” “moving some boxes,” and “balancing the checkbook” are just a few examples....
For instance, is it a baby name that they may come to regret someday because it’s just way too trendy or actually crosses the line from unique to headshake-inducing? Also, what kind of cringe-worthy nicknames might their child’s peers come up with? In short, when considering baby names, taking a magnifying glass to potential negatives, alongside the positives, is a must. The fact of the matter is that no matter how much a mom- and dad-to-be love a certain name, that name is going to be inextricably linked to a human’s identity for his or her entire life....
Buh-bye, underwire. See ya never, extra padding. Hello, perfect bralette. And nowhere does a budget-friendly bralette like Target. With a range of bra sizes for bodies and boobs of all shapes, these are the best bralettes that Target has to offer. A fan of this bra writes: “These bras are SO COMFORTABLE. I ordered it in black first and liked it so much that I ordered the blue. No rubbing or chaffing anywhere....

It’s chilling because it’s so easy to overlook this struggling child. There’s so much action and commotion all around, that nobody seems to notice. Thankfully the lifeguard does, but it’s a scene that could and does play out more tragically in pools and other bodies of water everywhere. Watch it. Share it. And the next time you’re near water, remember it.

Lauryn Hill just announced her sixth pregnancy, and I’m guessing the expectant mom’s anxiety level must be way lower than it was the first or second time around. By the fifth or sixth baby, you’ve probably dealt with every symptom imaginable: Braxton-Hicks? No problem! Sciatica? Whatever. You know the drill, it’s just a matter of managing the discomfort when you have a bunch of other kids running around. I would imagine childbirth becomes less of a shock to the system, too....
Well, I’m here to give you all the reasons why parents leave dirty diapers where they shouldn’t be. In a Shopping Cart This mom was buying paper towels, some Advil, a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector, and a copy of Love Smart: Find the One You Want — Fix the One You Got by Phil McGraw for her aunt Dottie’s birthday when suddenly she realized her newborn son had a blowout diaper....
Ten years after experiencing the hardest breakup up of her life, *Ani, a writer, speaker and domestic violence advocate, sat facing the man who used to build her up and destroy her all at the same time. They reconnected four months prior when she had sent out a text via group messaging app Whatsapp wishing her friends with Oct. 24th birthdays well. Though he had hurt her all those years ago, she included him in the group chat....
As a Virgina native, I’ve seen the nastiness of the stink bug war for myself. I feel like there wasn’t a window in the house that didn’t have at least 10 stink bugs hanging out between the screen and the glass pane. Yuck. Here are five helpful hints to protect your home from becoming a stink bug halfway house. Do you have stink bugs? How do you deal with them?...
Don’t get me wrong; the people who did this study got a couple of details right, it’s just that they missed the Big Baby Fever Picture. In my opinion, that’s because they were looking for psychological factors … when baby fever is anything but all in your mind. If you’ve experienced true baby fever, you know what I’m talking about. It’s a hormonal condition, not an intellectual one. According to the study, there are three factors that predict how much a person will want a baby: Positive exposure (like being around cute babies), negative exposure (like being around screaming babies), and potential trade-offs (whether you’d have to give up something you really want, like a dream job, to have babies)....

OK, so it’s technically a vibrator, and one that reviewers over at Athena’s Home Novelties call “instant orgasm.” That was enough to make me want to run out and buy this thing, but then I took a look. This may officially be the first vibe you can throw in your suitcase and watch the TSA guy drag out in the middle of the airport without flinching. Even if your dad is standing there when the dolt asks you to turn it on to make sure it’s not a bomb....
The toothpaste pregnancy test works like this: First, you squeeze a small amount of plain white toothpaste into a cup, then you add a few drops of urine, mix it up, and wait three minutes. If the toothpaste starts to froth or turn a bluish color, that means the “test” is positive.

Still, just because something is terrible, it isn’t an excuse to lie and cheat your way around it. This is exactly what writer Jen Miller overheard the other day in a restaurant: Despicable. Not because I don’t think women deserve better maternity leave, but because this woman is abusing the system in such a way that she will hurt us all. Postpartum depression is a very real affliction, which affected between 15-20 percent of women after the birth of their children....
“What differentiates a nursing strike from self-weaning is that self-weaning is usually a slow, gradual process, whereas a nursing strike is very abrupt,” Bancoff explains. “Self-weaning usually would look like this: baby is nursing six times a day, then the next month just four times a day, and then the next week two times a day, until they drop the last feed. Self-weaning rarely happens before 9 and 12 months....
And yet — plenty of married people do have long-term affairs while staying in an unhappy marriage. One such adulterer was recently interviewed (anonymously) by writer Samara O’Shea. He discussed why he recently broke up with his mistress and not the wife he claims to have married for the wrong reasons and fallen out of love with a long time ago. The man — married to his first wife for five years and his second (current) for 30 — told O’Shea that he and his girlfriend ended their relationship “because we decided we’d never leave our spouses....
But retail employees — especially women — have to deal with much more than demanding patrons in December. Though 38.4% of retail salespeople are women, they make 64.3% less than their male co-workers, according to a study from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research.
