Just as many women hate condoms. I would even venture to say that women hate them more — because there are many more reasons for women to hate them. But we’ll still insist on using them, because safe sex and whatnot. Here are seven reasons why women really fucking hate condoms. But it’s never just one sec. It’s more like 20 secs, by which time the ~moment~ has invariably lost some of its urgency, its intensity....
With schools letting out around the country, and the mercury on the rise, it’s time to dive in … and get wet! Dry, Dry, Wet. Think Duck, Duck, Goose, only “It” walks around the circle with a soaking wet sponge in hand. Each time he taps a kid on the shoulder, he says “dry” (instead of duck) until he settles on his target. “It” squeezes that sponge over his target’s head and yells “wet....
No matter what you do, there’s a chance that your kid will turn out fine and you’ll have a healthy relationship with him or her despite the fights over the superhero toys. But there are some things you might be doing that will hurt your chances of getting that perfect Gilmore Girls relationship you’ve been craving. And thankfully, the scientists have come to our rescue. It turns out researchers have been studying how parents drive their kids batty for years!...
In my case, the combination of bodily fluids and a stubborn 3-year-old meant that potty training wasn’t all poops and giggles. There were moments of hope followed by days when I imagined having to drop her off at college with a pack of adult diapers and a case of wipes. But, I’m done now, which means I can just laugh at these funny memes and send my best wishes to the moms out there who are still dealing with the all-too-real potty training struggle....
Trust me. I’ve had every hair color on earth, from pastel purple to strawberry blonde, so I’m something of a dye connoisseur. And I’m here to share all of my hard-won knowledge with you. Here are 8 things to know before you dye your hair for the first time. If you want to keep your hair in good condition, keep your expectations reasonable — you can expect to go three shades lighter (or darker) per appointment....

According to the mom, as Dominic stood up, the older kid next to him bounced on the trampoline, causing the 9-year-old to collapse instantly. “He could no longer stand up after that,” Moreno said. The next few months of Dominic’s life were spent in and out of the hospital. The 9-year-old had to have his entire knee muscle flipped back into place, a clamp installed to hold the muscle together, external fixtures to stretch his growth plates, and a metal rod inserted in his leg to hold everything properly in place....

Fatherhood is changing. We’re more likely to see a stay-at-home dad out with his children in the middle of a Wednesday. Dads who take both kids to the grocery store are no longer commended for being “such amazing sports” and are instead just seen as the norm. And yet there is a whole other contingent of men who still think it’s 1950 and, ladies, we are the ones who need to say enough is enough....
But I also like my party supplies and décor to be cool and have a high-quality, upscale feel — like you see at Pottery Barn (and PB Kids) or Horchow. So I compromise — my way: I use those companies for inspiration and then hit up the dollar store. Between what I find there and the supplies I have (paint and adhesives, mostly), I more than outdo the displays on those fancy homepages....
So when women on the Internet started showing pictures of their kids’ necklaces, all I could think was, “What the heck?” I noticed too that all the necklaces looked similar. So I asked, and it turns out there was an answer I didn’t expect: The amber teething necklaces were to help with teething pain and other discomfort. And no, I don’t mean a necklace they chew on, but just the presence of the necklace itself....
“Here’s the basics buy list I recommend: six sleep swaddle sacks or one-piece sleepers with attached feet or that open at the bottom (look for newborn sleepers with ‘smart’ magnetic closures instead of snaps. Love!); six side-snap T-shirts; six onesies that snap around the crotch or feature magnetic closures; six pairs of socks or booties; two to three comfy daytime baby outfits/rompers; one cotton sweater or light jacket; one snowsuit, if you live in a cold climate and will be having a winter baby....
And so is his wife, Callista’s, hair. I’ll admit, I’m completely fascinated by her immovable hairdo. It’s so very, very blond, so otherworldly in its gravity-defying perfection, that it looks like it belongs on the head of a character in a Dreamworks film. Callista sat directly in front of me during our CafeMom Coffee Break with Newt Gingrich a few weeks ago, and I kept sneaking peeks at her hair throughout the event....
Big kids feel even more grown up when they get to sit around the table chatting with their parents, aunts, uncles, and family friends. Some CafeMoms prohibit this practice and shoo their kids away to play. They don’t feel that tweens or even teens should be allowed into adult conversations, partly because of the potential topics (sex, money troubles, death). They grow up too fast already, they say. Also, it’s just not their place....
There’s light at the end of the tunnel, though: About half of pregnant women who get nausea during pregnancy feel complete relief by 14 weeks, though it can take another month or so for the queasiness to ease up, leaving mamas-to-be feeling helpless and anxious — or not? Now I know the last thing you want to think about is eating when your stomach is upset, but newsflash, these foods kick morning sickness to the curb!...
Some may think it’s weird to marry or, hell, even date someone you can’t have any communication with whatsoever. (Except for the word “no.”) But I think it’s awesome. In fact, so awesome that it just might be the key to the totally blissful marriage that everybody’s been frantically searching for. First of all, there’s the fact that you’d save a ton of money on therapy. No need to fork over $150 an hour to some quack who’s just gonna tell you that your problem is communication, because, clearly, your problem is communication!...
Did she get bored with math? I can’t blame her there, but … Maxim? Really? This is Winnie Cooper we’re talking about. Wholesome, cute, girl-next-door Winnie from The Wonder Years, now a wife and expectant mama in her second trimester … the new eye candy of the moment. Kendra Wilkinson, yes. Danica McKellar, no. It’s the week of pregnant mamas shining their sex appeal in popular magazines. Monica Bellucci did it in lingerie for Vanity Fair Italy and Claudia Schiffer posed au naturel on Vogue Germany....
BB cream stands for Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm. Originally created by a dermatologist in Germany for her laser post-op patients, BBs really started getting buzzed about in Korea after starlets credited the creams for their glowing complexions. Now the multitasking foundations are also a hit here … and for good reason! BB creams target several skincare concerns with one fell swoop. What better for those of us who have no time to spare, but still want to look good?...
I wouldn’t go that far, but I do try to wash my denim as infrequently as possible.
