For example, the authors assert, “Most girls do not have the hyperactive component of ADD … ADD without hyperactivity is the most common form in girls.” They add that young females with ADD are often misdiagnosed with depression. I’ve been reading this book and others on the subject because my wife and I are currently having our daughter tested for ADD. I realize that it’s a complex issue, so I’m doing what I can to learn more about it should my child test positive — and she will, I have little doubt....

Every day I seem to hear about another toddler drowning accident and it freaks me out because my kids are both in that precarious age bracket between wanting to be in the water and not knowing how to swim. The most recent tragedy that popped up in my Google Alerts involved a 19month old boy not five miles from my home. For some reason, the proximity makes the danger all the more real to me....

Then I had a kid. And people kept saying that! And I wondered … could I get in on some kind of child-modeling payday? And yeah, I did. I entered the Gap contest last year. I’m not proud, but I’m not ashamed either. I had gotten some free snapshots through a local studio, and I wanted to show them off. In the end, I was too embarrassed to ask people to vote for her and figured they’d choose her if they loved her....

Some moms in a Stay At Home Moms discussion say bed rest with a toddler is impossible. A pregnant mom put on bed rest had to have her husband take two weeks off to care for her and their toddler son. But a few have pulled it off … here’s what worked for HybridMom27, on bed rest for three weeks for a kidney stone and later on in her pregnancy for preeclamsia, while still caring for her 2 year old son:...

Yes, I’m talking about THE Warren Buffett, the guy Wikipedia calls the most successful investor of the 20th century. And he’s a “stayer”! Could it be that he’s one of those romantics too? Let me back up here and explain this movers and stayers theory, OK? My parents have lived in the same house I grew up in, the same house they bought several years before I was born. And then I met my husband who had moved five times before he was a teenager....

Typically, body odor can begin to develop as early as 7 years old in girls, 9 years old in boys, as the body hits puberty. Suddenly, your child is beginning to sweat more and sweat specifically from what are called the “apocrine sweat glands,” glands in the armpit and groin region. “Prior to puberty sweat comes from eccrine sweat glands that usually secrete mostly water and help with cooling,” explains pediatrician Dr....

For many people, bondage conjures up images of masks, black leather, and whips and chains. As well as a lot of pain. But bondage is actually defined as restricting someone’s movements. And in this sense, the term refers to a sexual situation that is more about control than pain. Being in control or being controlled can be a very powerful aphrodisiac. And I think this type of bondage is one of those things that people don’t talk about but that everybody has either done or wants to do....

Seriously. It can be hard to tell the difference between someone who’s really not wearing any makeup, and someone who’s spent lots of time and effort to create the illusion that they aren’t wearing any makeup. But you can spot the difference, right? Your challenge, should you choose to accept it: to guess which of these women are made up to seem like we’re not wearing makeup — and which of us is really barefaced....

So we take those photos wearing only underwear, our hands covering our breasts, displaying that baby bump from our best angle. Jessie James, star of Eric and Jessie: Game On, did this whole idea one better. GQ magazine took photos of Jessie and husband Eric Decker in some of the sexiest positions a pregnant woman has ever been in. In case you don’t watch the show, Eric is a wide receiver for the Denver Broncos and Jessie is a singer....

My mom has no memory of us doing this, but I think she blocked it out; a friend of mine said her husband refers to this phase as “the nipple extender.” It’s not really painful — she doesn’t bite — but it’s rather more exciting than the peaceful, bonding breastfeeding moments I’m used to. So why do babies perform crazy, extreme nursing stunts? I asked Fritzi Drosten, RN and BCLC, who was my lactation consultant when Penelope was in the NICU and runs the Breastfeeding Task Force (sounds serious!...

And I really enjoyed watching Lea Michele’s well-acted turn as insecure, diva-in-training Rachel. So I was sad to see photos of Lea looking really thin, sunken-eyed, and generally crappy at the Teen Choice Awards recently. Something’s going on here, and whatever it is isn’t good. I mean, seriously, look at that photo from 2009, absolutely nothing wrong there. She’s talked about being a vegan in the past, and that it gives her energy to play the always-on-edge Rachel....

What? You were expecting the standard “helicopter parents” suck line that you’re screwing up your kid by making them a self-absorbed prat who is afraid to do anything on their own (cough, I agree, cough, cough)? Yeah, that’s what the researchers at the University of Mary Washington probably realized too — and they probably realized no one was listening. So they turned the tables. Listen up, y’all … you still have a chance to save yourselves!...

Women like pockets but clothing for women rarely has pockets that are functional. As a woman, pockets are so foreign to me that even when my clothing has pockets, I don’t use them. I am honestly scared of using my pockets because something might go wrong? What if everything falls out! Pockets are embarrassingly alien to me because they are so rare. Enter: Poche Posh, a clothing line designed by two women and pocket enthusiasts....

Such is the case for Kristen and Pippen Kingsbury, who decided to give birth in a luxury hotel in Portland, Oregon. They also documented the magical day on video. What you are about to see is the birth of the Kingsbury’s son, Leopold. And while this did take place about two years ago, they only released the video this year. The hotel, The Nines, had no idea a planned hotel birth had taken place until now....

That’s where eyebrow professionals come in. It’s their job to ensure that you get the perfect brow shape FOR YOU — because one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to eyebrows, after all. But actually sucking it up and booking an appointment with a pro? Yeah, it can be pretty scary. It took me years to bite the bullet and accept that I needed professional help — so I know that the fear is real....

Why am I with this loser? Nah, who am I kidding? I probably would’ve just shrugged and told myself some lame-o lie, like “Emily” in the video: “Tripp only invites me over when he’s been drinking, but that’s just because he knows night time is the most romantic. And he’s always really excited to see me … really … excited.” If you have/had your own Daddy Issues, prepare to fall off your chair laughing in recognition....

Yeah, it’s stunning. But it COULD be better. Someone else apparently thought so, too.

And then my actual baby showed up, and being a mom was everything and nothing like the books said it would be. I was constantly being surprised. My feelings were bigger than I expected. The tiredness was worse than I expected. The highs were higher and the lows were lower. (Also, I constantly felt damp because there was usually either milk, pee, or sweat on me. Who knew postpartum sweatiness was a thing?...
