Though if you weren’t paying attention, you might not have realized. Because none of Star’s supposed “best friends” seem to have wished him a happy birthday. In fact, many people have hypothesized that the two BFF bedrocks of Team Jeffree — Manny Gutierrez and Laura Lee — are no longer speaking to Star, widely regarded as beauty YouTube’s most controversial personality. In fact, it seems like Jeffree is only still friends with ONE of his YouTube besties....

They’re toddlers, not street vagrants or dogs. What’s with this public urination trend that’s taking over my city? I’ve even seen some parents cradling their kids’ butts in such a way that they can poop in public! Color me scandalized. I mean, why bring a plastic baggie when you could just bring an extra pair of pants? Perhaps I’m a bit Victorian in my child-rearing, but I believe a good accident can go a long way in teaching proper elimination dos and don’ts and testing your child’s readiness for the responsibilities of a diaper-free lifestyle....

“While some children do struggle with impulse control challenges, others are just curious or have seen this behavior modeled,” says Fran Walfish, PhD, a Beverly Hills psychotherapist. “A kid may also kiss another kid — a provocative boy, for example — to irritate him.” Whatever the motivation behind the kiss, “It’s just not appropriate to kiss other kids on the playground,” says Fallyn Smith, LMSW, director of Social Success in Burlingame, California....

That’s why Ryan Galiotto and Darren McKeeman wanted to give people a “sex-positive homesharing community,” and cofounded property-rental site KinkBNB. “We strongly feel people need the room to explore themselves,” Galiotto told The Huffington Post. “Being able easily to rent a dungeon, a space designed for sexual play, should be available to anyone who wants to.” Here are five cool spaces you can rent on KinkBNB. title: “Kinkbnb The Airbnb For Your Sexual Fantasies” ShowToc: true date: “2024-09-02” author: “Tracy Kha” That’s why Ryan Galiotto and Darren McKeeman wanted to give people a “sex-positive homesharing community,” and cofounded property-rental site KinkBNB....

Add or subtract points every time you can agree with the statements below: “I’ve met my children.” (Add 10 points) “I believe the children are the future." (Add 10 points if you agreed without adding “Teach them well and let them lead the way”) “I’ve seen my children in passing. I think one is named ‘Granite.’ Or ‘Gravy.’ I can’t really remember.

Her pal, Constance Hall, is a mom and blogger, and she tried to look at the situation from both sides before writing a post on Facebook that nails just how upsetting this husband’s “surprise” weekend away is. Constance Hall/Facebook Constance explained that the only “weekend” stay-at-home parents get is when the other parent walks through the door at night. “You are the weekend, you are the break,” she wrote. “Just knowing that [we’re] not going to be the only one getting food down the kids’ throats or not the only one to buckle in and buckle out every kid makes it so much easier....

More from CafeMom: 7-Year-Old Fatally Mauled by 2 Pit Bulls in Tragic Accident “I am very disappointed in the East Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter for not disclosing this information,” she wrote. “And now that I have had time to reflect on this traumatic event, a lot of the dogs up for adoption looked like pit bulls but NONE of their tags said that they were.” Additionally, the Louisiana SPCA defended the shelter, noting that it can be difficult to properly classify dogs by breed....

More from CafeMom: 15 Raw Birth Photos That Show How Amazing the Vagina Really Is These photos show the determination and fearlessness of a woman who, after being told by a doctor she’d need to deliver her first child via C-section, chose to find a midwife who would truly listen rather than dismiss her. After connecting with the right person, Kelly gave birth to her first son in under four hours — without drugs, a C-section, or “medical interference whatsoever,” she explains on Freund’s photography blog....

It’s why Rogers created the Public Breastfeeding Awareness Project (PBAP), an annual drive that draws hundreds of moms across America to allow themselves to be photographed … while breastfeeding. This year’s event kicked off in concert with World Breastfeeding Week, and the hashtag #PBAP2014 has already taken social media by storm, spreading photos of nursing moms across the globe. “On a global level, the purpose of this project is to help normalize public breastfeeding, something the world unfortunately sexualizes,” Rogers told The Stir....

No matter how careful you are, there still can be a blooper or something incredibly embarrassing. Years ago, while I was trying to chat with my neighbor, I noticed he was abrupt and just nodded, mumbled, and went on his way. I figured he was just in a hurry or maybe I had something stuck in my teeth. I realized why he’d avoided looking at me — my shirt was still unbuttoned halfway down and my nursing bra was not hooked....

Imagine if the man you loved locked himself in a hotel room with guns and alcohol and told you “he might do something stupid.” That’s what Ashley Wise faced when her husband Rob returned from war with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). She reached out to the Family Advocacy Group at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, where they live, but realized that if she got her husband the help he needed, he could be dishonorably discharged....

And it looks like the wedding world has been taking notes from Kim Kardashian West, because today’s trendiest brides are waltzing down the aisle in naked dresses. That’s right. Naked wedding dresses are officially a thing. title: “Naked Wedding Dresses Are Officially Happening Sorry Grandma” ShowToc: true date: “2024-10-16” author: “Rocky Mitchell” And it looks like the wedding world has been taking notes from Kim Kardashian West, because today’s trendiest brides are waltzing down the aisle in naked dresses....

She explained that she’ll never know if the break in had to do with her running the same route every day, but it did scare her enough to the point where she “never ran alone again.”

Ah, the many joys of having a toddler. They laugh, they play, they reenact the movie Frozen scene-by-scene, they — oh God, I opened my child’s banana peel for him and now he’s on the floor crying. We’ve all been there. The inexplicable fits and tears that make parenting ahem a “joy.” In an attempt to document these cherished memories, the Instagram account ThatParentLife — formerly known as AssholeParents, where parents could share all the ways they’re inadvertently ruining their toddlers’ lives — is giving moms and dads a platform to share the absolute craziest reason their kids threw a fit....

First up is Frozen Banana Split Cake my aunt made for a party this weekend. It’s a Paula Deen recipe, so how could it not be sinful? It calls for 24 ice cream sandwiches, and 1 jar EACH of hot fudge and butterscotch. It was truly amazing, but I’ve been in a dessert coma ever since… Paula Deen’s Frozen Banana Split Cake 24 (3.5-ounce) ice-cream sandwiches, unwrapped 6 medium bananas, peeled and thinly sliced 1 (12....

Here’s the deal: Fitbay’s celeb body match quiz asks you specific Qs about your body type — if you have long arms, for instance, or maybe a short torso, what the general shape of your body is, plus your height and weight. Be honest, now, because that data then gets crunched to reveal your celebrity body lookalike. Don’t worry! Obvs, you’re going to be happy with whatever result you get....

It’s something we’ve talked about doing a few times over the years but somehow never got off the ground. But now that she’s 8 years old, we’ve decided it’s time. In a few weeks, she’ll pack her bags and we’ll pack the car, and she’ll be off for a full week with my aunt (her great-aunt) and uncle and my two young cousins. They’re so young that although they’re my first cousins, they are actually very close to my daughter’s age (one is less than a year older than her), but because of distance, they don’t get to spend much time together....

Today’s sex confession comes from a 40-something mom of three, who has been (mostly) happily married for 15 years. She’s happy. She swears she is. But when it comes to sex, she is just happier with her vibrator. Here’s what she has to say in her own words. I love my husband. We’ve enjoyed a really great sex life for many, many years. But for the past couple of years, I have not been interested in having sex with him....

The jungle of the front yard. This just happened on its own! Tell us a little about your family and your garden. Danny (41), Lucy (2 in July), and Shauna Ahern (43) — we three are a family. The three of us live in a rented home on Vashon Island, which is a rural island off Seattle. The island is the same length as Manhattan, two miles wider, and has only 10,000 people living here....
