Well, a mother could flee to a hotel, of course, but unfortunately she would not win any mom of the year honors going that route.

Well, according to adoption experts, you should refrain from the traditional “shower” festivities. “Baby showers are not appropriate for older child adoptions,” says Victor Groza, one of the authors of the recently published book, Adopting Older Children.

From the number of moms who want to breastfeed from the beginning to the number of women who face difficulty nursing in public, it’s a very different world out there....
We’ll give you a hint: It gets straight to the source of the problem… Your FREEDOM. Your HOME. Your JOB. Your FAMILY. Your REPUTATION. Your behaviour is your choice. Choose to change." Will a poster like this work? Yes. It might stop a man from being abusive, it will change the way people think about domestic violence, and prevent them from victim-blaming women who experience it.

“One of the worst habits I’ve developed over ten years of being together is that I actually do ‘help out’ at home,” Brad Kearns wrote on his Facebook page, DaDMuM. “I’m not lazy and I do plenty but just like everyone else with kids and a busy schedule I could always do more.” DaDMuM/Facebook The dad of two explained that while his wife, Sarah, is at work, he notices things that he could — and should — do to make her life easier....
“These sorts of images can be used to gather personal information such as school, location, a child’s full name, or even birth dates to paint a picture of who they are,” he explained. “Parents must think twice about what they share on social media, their privacy settings and who they allow in their social network — before it is too late.” But if you’re guilty of sharing a photo without considering the risks first, have no fear....
Yesterday during the favorite chocolate candy discussion I professed my undying love for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Today I found a recipe for butter cups of an entirely different variety—Chocolate White-Sesame Buttercups. These fancy treats are served at Kyotofu, a Japanese dessert bar in New York, and would be a perfect sophisticated treat to wow guests at your next adult Halloween party. They look easy enough and the best part: They’re made with tofu....
However, for many fat acceptance writers and activists, body positivity has failed in one critical way: Fat and marginalized bodies are no longer at the center of the conversation. It culminated in the creation of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, an organization that combats size discrimination. Size determines many life outcomes, including work promotions and wages. The Council on Size and Weight Discrimination found that plus-size workers are paid $1....
Following a barrage of negative comments about Holliday’s past — including a racially charged statement that Holliday has apologized for — the photo was deleted. Several individuals confirmed to Revelist that Fenty posted and deleted a headshot of Holliday wearing the brand’s new red lipstick, Stunna. In a video posted Dec. 1, YouTuber Corissa Enneking (aka FatGirlFlow) also spoke about Holliday’s deleted photo and the backlash from “haters.” After the interview went viral, the model made a lengthy apology, which can still be read here, and ever since has often used her social media platform to raise awareness of racism and issues that affect people of color....
I was on a few websites (they rhyme with “slap” and “bold wavy”) and saw all of those adorable footie pjs. You know, the all-in-one kind, with the zipper up the front, little feet on the bottom. Don’t get a much cuter sight than your little one in footie pjs padding out of her room on Saturday mornings, huh? I spied one with cats on it. Kiddo loves cats. It was yellow....
It’s all sorts of disturbing at first glance, especially because there have be a few horrific cases involving children and ovens. But this one I honestly find pretty funny — especially because of why the grandparents took this picture. According to MSN, it was the first time the new dad had left his little baby, and he was all sorts of nervous, even though he was leaving grandparents in charge....
Says Seth Meyers, a clinical psychologist (and not the Saturday Night Live comedian): Er, seriously? So you’re supposed to go for people with whom you feel no spark? While many people testify to the power of falling in love long after they were married, I’ve also known people who tried that and had it fail miserably. One woman I know married her “best friend” after a long, tumultuous relationship ended....
“Both of my kids have colds, so I took them to the doctor and got a script for Claritin. Well, my DD is almost 2, I was headed to give her the medication, I put it in one of those medicine spoons, and I misread the dosage. I was supposed to only give her 2.5 ml and I gave her a little over 2 tsp (which turns out to b 10 ml)....

“A newborn should have at least one stool per day for the first several days of life. After this time, there is a wide range of normal stooling patterns. Some babies stool one to two times per day, but many newborns can stool with every feeding, up to eight to 10 times per day. It is common for babies to stool during a feeding because of the gastrocolic reflex. When the stomach gets filled with food, it triggers the colon to expel stool to make room for the new food coming in....
Actually, correction. It’s not that we don’t like traditions — quite the contrary; we have a couple of our own we’re quite fond of. We’re just … not devout Catholics. At all. Having a Christening for our daughter-to-be would seem weird. It would seem fake. Phony. Totally not us. Save for funerals and weddings (not our own), I can’t tell you the last time either one set foot in a church....
Which made me stop and think, wait a minute, if I was supposed to avoid unpasteurized cheese during pregnancy, yet raw dairy products are illegal in the United States, why couldn’t I eat the Brie? Turns out, I could have eaten the soft cheeses that were American made, because they’re all pasteurized. And the French cheeses? Well, I probably could have eaten those too. Chow broke down the illegal cheese situation and how it works in a major metropolitan area....
