Look at the yellow flowers. Here are some blue ones. Aren’t they pretty in the sunshine? “But how much lonnnngggggeeerrrrrr?” About 9 minutes. Here we are, me and the boy, walking home. It’s all downhill. “My legs are sore! When will we be there?” Two days. “No way! Not two days! You’re joking!” We’ll get home two days from now. “Is that Tuesday?” Tuesday was yesterday. “When will it be yesterday again?...
According to Bloomberg, “home prices soared the most in 15 years,” thanks to a perfect storm that aligned everything just right. This includes a tight housing market with a lot of competition due to the high demand for an upgrade in space both inside and outside our home, thanks to the pandemic. Add in historically low mortgage rates where the “average for a 30-year loan dropped to 2.97% in the most recent data, moving closer to the record low 2....
RELATED: Your Hospital Bag Checklist Birth Bag Essential #1: The Right Bag “Generally speaking, usually having one main bag for you and your partner is solid,” Patmor says. “A suitcase or duffel bag suffices for that.” But remember, you’re going to be in the hospital or birthing center for a few days, so you’ll need a few different bags. “Bring a couple of changes of clothes for each of you in your suitcase....
Hatchimals Sure, a buck 80 might seem like a lot to pay for a toy, but when was the last time you saw a stuffed animal actually peck its way out of a damn egg? Hatchimals are furry little Tamagotchi creatures that, after being played with for up to 40 minutes, literally bust out of a plastic-like shell. From there, your children raise them through 3 life stages (Baby, Toddler, Kid) while teaching them to walk, talk, and fetch you beers....
The highly decorated veteran spoke to Fatherly about the lessons he passes down to his kids, the use of honesty in his parenting, and why planks are a better disciplinary tactic than time outs. I find that one cause of a lot of problems between parents and children is either being told, “You’re not old enough for that,” or someone just outright lying to them, with few exceptions. So I try to be honest with my kids about everything, even when the topics are very difficult....
It’s important to note, of course, that while babies do need boundaries, they also need some room to explore. “Parents need to balance the need for a child to learn by exploring with what’s really dangerous,” explains positive psychologist Dr. Robert Zeitlin, author of Laugh More, Yell Less: A Guide to Raising Kick-Ass Kids. “It’s easy for parents to go a little overboard.” Read more of Fatherly’s stories on discipline, behavior, and development....
And not only are prices going up for single-day tickets and passes. For the first time, the single-day ticket price will now be park-specific, meaning it will cost more to visit some parks than others. Disney is increasing the cost of one-day, one-park tickets. The current price of a one-day, one-park ticket is between $109 and $159, depending on the day and demand. While one park isn’t going to see an increase in the single-day ticket, others are set to increase on December 8, with some jumping as much as $20....

That isn’t a common sentiment about fatherhood, even now. But social norms have been changing over the past 40 years, as more women – and mothers – have entered the workforce. While mothers still do more work at home, the burden is becoming more equal. However, the concept of father-as-breadwinner is still stronger than ideals of fathers as nurturers. As a result, fathers often find themselves out of place at parks, malls and other areas frequented by mothers and children....
For a study published in Computers in Human Behavior, researchers analyzed self-reported responses about partner behavior and relationship satisfaction from 75 participants and found that phubbing can negatively affect the partner who feels snubbed and compel them to retaliate. Yes, phones can kill relationships. The reason is simple: A person guilty of phubbing is telling their partner that whatever is happening on the phone — be a game, an email, a TikTok, a Twitter exchange — is more important and worthy of their attention....
The daily grind of committed life has a certain biological benefit. After all, the constant over-the-top impressing, the flutters in the stomach, the deer-in-the-headlights look of someone who’s practically chirping from love — that’s not sustainable. It’s normal to have a relationship evolve into comfortable friendliness, a point where not every brush against the hand or significant look transforms a person into the human version of the heart-eyes emoji because otherwise, it’s exhausting to maintain a relationship....
Words between adults, though, are never that simple. People bring their histories and experiences to what constitutes “good communication”. They end up doing what they believe is necessary to be heard, and, in the process, terms like “aggressive” and “assertive” end up being synonymous. But the terms aren’t interchangeable. The former is angry and can rely on bullying. The latter is helpful where you protect yourself by establishing boundaries. You’re also happier, because rather than saying, “Doesn’t matter,” (lie), and then sitting and fuming, you’re honest and you don’t have to end up eating Italian for dinner....

Our primary care physician suggested we hold off on any drastic measures for a full year before doing a deep dive on our own fertility. So I held off doing anything rash. But, I didn’t stop from thinking rash thoughts. So, I wanted to learn all I could about what might be a contributing factor. And, let me tell you, based on correlating the facts at hand about what can affect your sperm count with my own lifestyle, I can tell that I’m at least part (if not all) of the problem....
But here’s the thing about new relationship energy: it fades. The butterflies settle. Those who used to inspire them eventually will become the face of your bedroom routine. And capturing the same sexual high you experienced in the beginning of things can become a bit tricky. Sow how can you rebuild the sexual tension within our relationships? How do we reignite the chase? Fatherly reached out to some individuals and experts to see what they had to say....
Connection to nature, then, is less about time spent outdoors and more about an intrinsic connection to our natural roots. And to measure that, we’ll need a psychometric scale. Meet The Nature Relatedness Scale (NR-6) The Nature Relatedness Scale first came out in 2009 as a 21-question assessment, but has since been winnowed down to six key questions. To figure out your child’s level of connection to nature, ask him or her to respond to each of the following statements with Disagree Strongly (1), Disagree A Little (2), Neither Agree Nor Disagree (3), Agree A Little (4), Agree Strongly (5)....
What Is Normal for Baby Poop? Before parents can understand how to make a baby poop, they need to understand what constitutes “normal” stools. “Infants who used to stool several times a day when they’re first born may slow down their production to just once every couple of days and that can be normal,” says Syeda Amna Husain, M.D., a pediatrician, internationally certified lactation consultant, and founder of Pure Direct Pediatrics....
