Currently, au pairs are able to work in America as live-in childcare workers with a J-1 exchange visitor visa. A family will pay a fee, then an au pair will be able to live with them, working a maximum of 45 hours each week. They are only paid $4.35 per hour, with the justification being that the housing the au pairs receive makes up for the lackluster wages and it incentivizes families to hire them....
Bruce has been an action movie star for decades. And he’s got some movies that are more famous than others. When Bruce started trending on Twitter at the end of November, we initially assumed the annual “is Die Hard a Christmas movie?” debate had begun. It happens every year, and yes, it’s a Christmas movie. But he was trending for another one of his famous movies. Armageddon. The plotline of the 1998 movie seems so far-fetched....

The answer to this is probably “no,” but it’s also like, the entertainment media world outside of Daniel Tiger isn’t really made for kids either. We all pretend like Star Wars and Marvel are great family events, but those stories are just mostly about who gets murdered and at which time and why....

After all, Goose the Cat was one of the biggest scene stealers in this year’s Caption Marvel. Though Goose’s name was actually Chewie (after Star Wars’ Chewbacca) in the comics, the character still managed to steal audience’s hearts. Not only is Goose a lovable pet, but he’s also a Flerken: an alien species that can lay eggs, shoot large tentacles from its mouth and shapeshift, among other things....
Why Do Car Seats Expire? How can a piece of plastic, metal, and fabric expire? safetyMost manufacturers give their car seats expiration dates of 6 to 10 years after they’re made, at which point a car seat could, at best, have outdated technology, and at worst, no longer meet the safety standards of the seats on the market. The industry is fast-moving and really evolving all the time,” Dunn says. For example, recent years have seen new innovations in side impact protection that older seats lack....
This very simple breakfast taco recipe is a favorite of both his daughters. Chef Camacho preps the ingredients beforehand and then everyone fills their tortilla with whatever they like. It’s an obvious winner with kids because they can create what they want — and get their hands a little dirty. “I put all the different fillings out and everyone builds their own,” he says. “You can feed a big family this way....
I wince and roll over to find my boys sleeping beside each other, perpendicular to me, their heads to the edge of the bed. Their faces are sweet and placid but I’m in no mood for adoration. At one point, I would have found my wife sleeping beside me. I have no idea where she is now. The bunk bed in the kid’s room? The living room couch? The creaky bed in the guest room?...

So what exactly did they find? Israeli researchers studied more than 5 million people that had been vaccinated against COVID-19 and found 275 cases of myocarditis between December 2020 and May 2021. This is within expected background rates for the condition. However, more myocarditis cases than would have been expected were reported in young men aged 16 to 30 who received the Pfizer vaccine. It’s crucial to look into “even a hint of a signal,” Douglas Diekema, a pediatrician, and bioethicist at Seattle Children’s Hospital, told Science....
The chart isn’t just full of valuable data and helps us sort through what we need to look out for, but it’s further proof that you need to get vaccinated. Yes, you. Here’s why. According to Insider, the five most common COVID-19 symptoms vary based on if you’ve received one vaccination, two vaccinations, or none at all.

With Father’s Day coming up, Melvin has some thoughts for dads everywhere — sage advice on how we can be better dads to our children, or fellow dads, and each other.

So what advice do parents who have already experienced the transition have to share in retrospect?...
To be frank, joint custody is less than ideal. It demands that kids are always on the move, creates time management issues, and has can put children right in the middle of ugly feuds. At the same time, it is almost certainly the best solution to an intractable problem — at least for the kid. The numbers bear this out. Data distilled from some 30 studies on the topic clearly illustrates why joint custody is so often the best move in a bad situation....
This condition has a high economic cost. Each year in the U.S., more than $80 billion is lost because of asthma. This is mainly due to premature deaths, medical payments and missed work and school days. The burden is higher for families with asthmatic children, who, on average, spend $1,700 more on health care than families with healthy children. One major environmental factor that might contribute to the development of asthma is air pollution from traffic....
Candice Vanderford, a 37-year-old mother of four, was in the middle of a separation from her husband when she decided to do a 72-hour dopamine fast.

Today, she maintains that the fast helped her gain self-control with her phone. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, or chemical that sends messages in the brain, that’s critical to the brain’s reward system....
“When I started to do research in asthma, allergies and then neurocognitive disorders, it became obvious that making sure that you have a robust and healthy microbiome,” said Gilbert, “also made sure you had a robust and healthy immune system.” This has real-world (and wonderful) implications for fathers. “Kids should be interacting with the world and being part of it rather than locked up inside the house.” Pacifiers will fall, dogs will come and go, dirt will cake upon the flesh of our children and this is all, scientifically, good....
