It’s my personal statement against puritanism, societally imposed self-hatred, and doing laundry. Studies have shown that children reared by nudists — and they definitely are reared — grow up better adjusted. OK, so maybe I don’t do much laundry. I guess I’m not a card-carrying nudist, though, because I think that doing this forever is probably a little pervy. (By the way, where do nudists carry that card?) I’ll probably stop by the time Skylar’s in kindergarten and many of her core self-concepts are formed....

The Mohawk-shaped fleshy red skin on the top of a rooster’s head is thought to have medicinal properties; for example, doctors sometimes recommend rooster comb injections as treatment for arthritis because it is an effective lubricant for joints. But now a Spanish food company wants to bring the consumption of rooster combs to the mainstream. Mmmmm. But are our palates ready for such extreme cuisine? It should come as a great relief to the less adventurous eaters among us that the company plans to start small with rooster combs — adding the extract to dairy foods, including milks, yogurts, and cheese....

Now that you’ve run to scream at your kid to get inside, a bit of good news: It’s relatively easy to make your sandbox safe for the summer. The Stir asked Wendy Gordon of the Natural Resources Defense Council’s SimpleSteps.org to explain all those cancer-causing agents in the sandbox and how to get them away from your kids. I’ve heard parents worrying about carcinogenic warnings on their kids’ sand. Is that common?...

Remember a few years ago when Papa Joe awkwardly commented on his daughter’s “Double-D’s” by saying something along the lines of, “You can’t cover those suckers up!” all while chuckling at his words? Well, he may have been kind of out of line, but it’s pretty obvious that he was speaking the truth. Jess’s breasts are definitely large — and having a baby has made them nothing short of humongous....

Double football holders unite! When Julie was on Lopez Tonight she even showed a picture of her breastfeeding Johnny and Gus, who just turned 1. You want to see it? Photo from Lopez TonightI have this exact same photo of myself. It looks like Julie’s left breast is a bigger producer than her right. It’s the opposite for me. Julie’s 40 by the way — and a mom of 3....

While she stood on the red carpet, posing for photogs, one of the straps, as you can see, slipped off her shoulder and Perry came precariously close to pulling a Tara Reid. (Some are saying that you can actually see the top of Perry’s nipple in the photo, but, I don’t know — I’m kind of on the fence.) Look, wardrobe snafus happen. I know that. You know that. Anybody who’s ever picked up an Us Weekly knows that....

The big sale item: the infamous $360 brush set, which was dragged for its hefty price tag and questionable quality. One would think these expensive brushes going on sale would make Kylie fans happy, but not so! They dragged her for filth on social media. Technically, 80% off of the Kylie Cosmetics brushes would make the set $72, which does sound like a more acceptable price point for her target audience....

Marie Dubuque just celebrated her 21st wedding anniversary — and five years since she lost, and kept off, 25 pounds. Five years ago Dubuque went in for a routine doctor’s exam and realized she’d never lost that pregnancy weight. She’d just added to it. And her son was now in high school! It was time to change her diet and start working out. Fortunately she has space in her basement for exercise equipment: An elliptical machine, a treadmill, a rowing machine, and some free weights....

Despite the growing trend, experts warn that giving birth in the open ocean could be risky. According to Live Science, sea and ocean births haven’t been studied enough to actually call them “safe.” And Miami-based doctor Dr. Saima Aftab told Live Science the high salt content of the ocean could seriously harm a baby if they were to accidentally take a gulp of the water during the birthing process. Still, while it may not be recommended, this mom and her baby seemed happy and healthy following their incredible birth experience....

“When he said it, I was honestly too shocked to react,” Lester tells CafeMom. “I hear that I have my hands full often, but hearing someone say ‘I feel sorry for you’ really bothered me. I tried to let it go while we continued shopping, but the more I thought on it, the more I realized that it was not okay. My husband said, ‘I can’t believe he just said that....

On the day of my daughter’s first birthday, I found myself standing buck naked in front of a steamed-up mirror after a shower. I took a moment to look at my post-pregnancy body up and down amid the fog. Some people might think I’m still pregnant, I thought to myself, taking in the belly that never stopped sagging. Its stretch marks were still red and fresh, as if they’d only just appeared....

Because she’s my ex-boyfriend’s mama, some folks might wonder what the big deal is. She’s just the woman responsible for birthing my used-to-be. That’s only partially true. For some reason, I have a personal habit of maintaining better relationships with the mothers of my boyfriends than I do with the actual guys. Even though me and their sons weren’t able to make it last forever, me and their mamas stay in touch, talk on the phone, even hang out — much to the chagrin of the dudes who brought us together in the first place....

STFU Parents has found the parents who love the way their babies’ poo smells — and aren’t afraid to tell you so. Their Facebook posts are about as weird as it gets. Yeah, poop smoothie. That sure does sound appetizing to me. But it gets better … It’s the cloth diapers? No, I’m pretty sure it’s the sleep deprivation that’s making you smell-hallucinate. But this is NOTHING compared to other comments moms have made!...

I polled the Revelist team, Facebook, and Twitter to see the scope of what’s been said online. I received an overwhelming number of responses — it was depressing. And it goes way beyond dick pics. Here are 26 gross things that garbage people have said to REAL HUMAN PEOPLE, WITH FEELINGS, on Tinder. title: “People Share The Most Disgusting Tinder Messages They Ve Ever Received” ShowToc: true date: “2024-10-11” author: “Marie Ford” I polled the Revelist team, Facebook, and Twitter to see the scope of what’s been said online....

We really want our husbands to be involved. But being the husband to a pregnant woman can sometimes be really trying on a guy and your relationship. Especially if you take advantage of him. I found out I was pregnant with Rowan at 13 weeks. My husband and I had only been married for six months. We had a lot to learn, and not a lot of time to do it (I’m still learning every day, six-and-a-half years later)....

I have no idea how much money my mom spent on school products back in the day, but I can’t imagine it was as much as I just shelled out for my kindergartener and second-grader. Not only did I drop nearly 80 bucks for items off their school’s supply list, what really makes me nostalgic for the old days is the fact that they won’t actually get to keep ANY of the things I bought....

Like most women, I had a few scares. I remember being convinced I was in labor while visiting my mom at the hospital at 37 weeks. I felt great being on location; I had no commute whatsoever to deliver if need be. Turns out it was only Braxton-Hicks, but it definitely didn’t feel that way that night. “Braxton-Hicks contractions are most often described as irregular and infrequent, though I read (in Penny Simkin’s The Birth Partner) that they can also be regular, strong, and frequent,” said Jennette Selig, postpartum doula, educator, and owner of Birth Sweet Brooklyn....
