Even in the most straightforward agreement, money creates an imbalance. It involves power and control. You have it. They don’t, and, if the deal goes bad, the nature of your relationship, and the family dynamic, can be changed for good. It can be, in a word, “messy”, says Jennifer Calder, financial therapist in Montpelier, Vermont. Still, you’re not turning away from a relative, and a family loan does not automatically mean disaster....
In some states like Alaska, Arkansas, Texas, and Indiana, among others, malls, in particular, are set to reopen this week. Simon Property Group, which is the biggest US mall owner, is currently preparing to open 49 of their malls across the country this week to customers and consumers. Here’s how, why, and what might happen. How Malls Will Reopen (Safely?) Every state has different guidelines for the businesses that they are currently re-opening....
This week, as part of a promotion for the charity group Omaze, Hamill is offering fans a chance to have dinner with him before The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters. All they have to do is donate to a good cause and they’ll be entered to win. To entice his fans, Hammill shot a short video that’s essentially what having dinner with Mark Hamill would be like. It seems freaking amazing....
And one of the loudest advocates for change is Matthew McConaughey, who grew up in the Uvalde and yesterday, gave an intense press conference on June 7th at the White House demanding change. Not only is McConaughey a Uvalde native, but his mom was also a teacher in Uvalde, though a different one than Robb Elementary School where the shooting happened. And since the May shooting, Matthew and his wife, Camilla Alves, have been in the community, hearing the stories of those who lost their lives....
The metaphorical manual that doesn’t arrive with infants has actually been in development since the 1950s when pediatrician Dr. Benjamin Spock dropped The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care on American parents. Yes, in hindsight we’ve learned that a lot of the advice contained in that tome was questionable, but it represented an attempt to offer parents evidence-based solutions for intentional parenting. Dr. Spock’s book was, in essence, a rebuke to the idea that traditions and instincts provided parents with sufficient guardrails....
She also called her a phony, for some reason. It was something straight out of high school — like how teenagers talk shit and bully other teenagers and post it online — except this time, it’s a grown adult with children. The next photo she posted on her story, a screengrab from the adorable birthday video Markle posted on the Save With Stories Instagram yesterday of her reading with her and Prince Harry’s 1-year-old son, Archie, was captioned with a really mean caption “Happy birthday, Archie....
“When we went on our tour to South Africa, we landed with Archie,” the mom of two shared with her long-time friend, Serena. “Archie was what, four and a half months old. And the moment we landed, we had to drop him off at this housing unit that they had had us staying in.” At that time, Meghan and her husband Prince Harry, were still working members of the royal family....
In an Op-Ed essay published in the New York Times on the morning of November 25th, Markle, who moved stateside with her husband Prince Harry as they extricated themselves from the grips of the royal family, revealed that in July, she and her husband experienced pregnancy loss. “It was a July morning that began as ordinarily as any other day: Make breakfast. Feed the dogs. Take vitamins. Find that missing sock....
Jet taught teenage me a valuable lesson: Alternative medicine, crystal healing, primal scream therapy, and the bulk of the untested solutions to life’s ills are simply cheap products sold at premium prices. Jet didn’t refuse to point people towards the answers they wanted, but she did decline to conflate astrology and crystal healing, whatever their rhetorical or emotional merits might be, with science. I wonder what she would have made of Goop and the Goopaissance....
Obama sat down with REVOLT Studios for a “candid, cross-generational discussion” with a panel of incredible women. Hosted by Angie Martinez, Obama was joined by Winnie Harlow, Tina Knowles-Lawson, Kelly Rowland, and H.E.R for a 1-hour-40-minute talk that hit many important topics —including openly discussing marriage and doling out marriage advice. A clip from the interview — mainly Obama’s marriage advice — went viral on TikTok, which happened around 40 minutes into the conversation....
I was raised by music. My mom was a singer, my dad was a pianist, and my granddad was a guitarist. This environment lead me to a life-long obsession that also became my primary source of income, from the music blog I run. I wanted my son, who is 7 right now, to have that same thing growing up. So, since he was born, I’ve been playing music in my house....
We’re potty training and it sucks, but not in the ways that you might expect. My wife and I noted the obsession our two-year-old had with the potty. He wanted to sit in it with his diaper on. He pooped in his diaper. Then he sat in it with his diaper off — with both of us watching. Poop again! Later he said “Pee daddy!” I took him to the potty and stood him in front of it and pulled off his diaper....
For the first three seasons of Stranger Things, Netflix would release every episode on the same day, which, at the time, seemed like the future of television in the streaming era. This would allow die-hard fans to watch the entire season in just a day or two, potentially avoiding spoilers and not having to tortuously wait to figure out what would happen next, which felt like a bygone relic of the cable era of TV....
“It’s kind of gross but nothing new, right?” Brian Gresko laments. “Star Wars has always been a brand. The only difference here is the shamelessness.” Gresko is a dad and a writer and the editor of the anthology When I First Held You, a book featuring essays by fathers about fatherhood. In regard to his own Star Wars fathering experience, Gresko tells me that his nine-year-old son has pretty much moved on from Star Wars a long time ago....
10. You will occasionally touch poop. It’s OK. It’s inevitable when you’re inexperienced at changing diapers, you will touch poop, maybe even daily. Don’t freak out. Baby poop won’t warp you for life like adult poop will, if you touch it. As excrement goes, it’s as inoffensive as anything on the market. It doesn’t even stink that bad at first. The baby adds in stink molecules at around six months. This story was submitted by a Fatherly reader....
The only companies that would be exempt from this rule are, as previously stated, companies with fewer than five employees. Companies that have been in operation for less than two years would also be exempt. Per the Wall Street Journal, companies would also be required to enroll even part-time employees who work at least 500 hours a year for two consecutive years. Companies that don’t comply would be fined $10 per employee, per day, for up to three months....
Maybe someone needs to draw them a picture. “The learning style myth has been around for decades. We aren’t too sure why it caught on in such a broad way,” says psychologist Shaylene Nancekivell, who suspects that part of the appeal of the fallacy is that people are comfortable categorizing others into groups (and largely ignorant about neurology). Believing in learning styles allows for a comfortable sort of siloing. And it all makes sense if you don’t actually understand what working memory is or how it, well, works....
