Riiiiight. Well, here’s what happened. A police officer spotted teeth marks in the shoulder of a toddler. When he confronted the mother, Christina Crandall, she said she didn’t know how those teeth marks got there. But her boyfriend claimed Christina’s daughter bit her first, and Christina bit her back to show her daughter how it feels. Now Christina faces charges of assault and child cruelty. Does that seem a little severe for a little difference of opinion on the subject of parenting techniques?...

A video reportedly confirmed that the child received the tattoo during a Super Bowl party and that there were both adults and minors who witnessed the incident. According to 11 Alive, Lieutenant Jason Fetner of the County Sheriff’s Office said Gaddy eventually admitted to tattooing the girl as well as other minors during the party but said that the girl’s mom consented to it. “I think it’s unfortunate in that the child actually wanted to get the tattoo,” Fetner said....

More from CafeMom: Why Riding the Slide With Your Toddler Is Actually a Terrible Idea Dr. Forna posted photos of the puberty party she hosted for her own 10- and 14-year old daughters and their friends on Facebook. She shared video of herself encouraging the girls to have an honest discussion with their parents about when to have sex. “Say ‘Mommy, Daddy, what do you think?’” she tells the girls....

When you’re in a new relationship with someone you really like, and they really like you too, you basically both become sex addicts. You want it when you want it, and damn the consequences. So what if you’re a little late to work — that quickie before you got out of bed that morning was totally worth it. Eventually though, those feelings settle down, and you either break up or you move to a new level of the relationship; one that maybe isn’t quite as exciting, but definitely much more comfortable....

I didn’t even bother clicking on the article to find out who the couple was or what they had to say, because I simply couldn’t get past the “Failed Marriage” part. For crying out loud, this is 2017, so why in the hell are we still referring to divorce as a “failed marriage”? No, seriously … what the f**k? I’ve been officially divorced for close to two years now, and it’s been almost three years since I made the decision to end my marriage....

A recent piece in the Daily Mail advises women to always pick their friends over their spouses. While I agree with the basic premise — friends are so, so important — the idea that a woman would prioritize anyone — yes, even children — above her husband isn’t all that great. When a person gets married, they should be marrying their best friend, and when they do, that person becomes like family....

Jones was able to contact Pasco County School District’s assistant superintendent Ray Gadd, who decided to investigate the policy. “As an organization, we want to be parent-friendly and family-friendly,” he said, but also noted that the school might have its reasons. What they found out is that there is no district-wide policy for parents. It varies by school and even by sport. Basically, it’s up to the coaches to decide what’s best for their team....

“As a photographer and artist, I naturally wanted to turn my experience in losing my son into something meaningful,” Susana said in an interview with Babble. “I noticed after the funeral, a lot of my friends and even some family members didn’t know how to address my grief and pain. In short, they didn’t know how to face child loss.” After Susana and the participants take a while to talk about their lost child, she hands over the mirror — the same one used in every shoot — and asks “the participant to think of their child and to hold the mirror as if they are holding their child one last time....

Ceremonia burial In Indonesia, the baby’s placenta is considered its twin and becomes a kind of guardian for the child. Family members and birthing attendants bury the placenta outdoors. The Igbo of Nigeria, some people of Malaysia, and many other cultures also consider the placenta a twin and bury it outdoors. In Cambodia, the location of the placenta’s burial is very important, as it is considered the origin of the baby’s soul....

Let’s face it, though: We’re not all Martha Stewart, or even the Home Improvement guy. Just ask my guest bathroom, which still lacks a new toilet-seat cover (it’s a work in progress). Thank goodness there’s a fun new option, then: When hot-glue cracks and crazy-glue can’t get a grip, now there’s Sugru, a Play-Doh-like silicone that molds like putty and dries like plastic. It made Time magazine’s “50 Best Inventions of 2010” list....

Mama Ru’s tweets have been getting a little more political lately, and well, as the US government edges ever closer to the void, who among us cannot say the same?

Even when they misbehave in public and parents endure the searing tsk tsk-ing of strangers, the general, overriding reaction is still, awww, aren’t they adorable? Because, let’s face it, they are. But that’s not going to save them forever. Eventually the cuteness comes to an end, and now scientists are telling us exactly when. In a study highlighted recently by Bonnie Rochman at Time, scientists found that based on changes in their facial features, kids stop being cute at age 4....

Linda wasn’t that surprised because her son likes to “adorn” himself anyway. He wears rings on his fingers and sometimes a necklace or two. Still, when Z asked for earrings, she wanted to think about it, and she wanted him to think about it as well. When she and her husband talked it over, they came to the conclusion that if their son really wanted his ears pierced, it would just be fair to say yes....

And if you don’t think this story could get worse — or more bizarre — just wait. The girl was a friend of Michael Lacy’s daughter. She was in the house for a sleepover. West Virginia TV station WSAZ says 36-year-old Lacy — whose dental hygiene leaves something to be desired by the looks of him — told police he’d taken Lortab and Xanax the night of the sleepover. Then he tells the cops he woke up to someone kissing his neck, and figuring it was his wife, he kissed back....
