Here are the most profound quotes from the interview. Jay-Z on tapping into his compassion after the birth of his daughter “I was worried about being a good father. We’d never seen that, like never.

But my emotional IQ was like minus 100 or so…....
However, persistent gaps remain. Women hold only a quarter of U.S. congressional seats, only a handful of states mandate paid paternity leave and state legislatures are introducing bills that discriminate against transgender people. The majority of Americans believe there is more work to do on gender equality.

“The science that we have surrounding tooth eruption remains not clearly understood,” says Dr. David Tesini, a pediatric dentist and consultant to patented soothing products brand, Smilo. “It can become downright confusing to the parent.” But it turns out, with an extra bit of scrutiny, many of the common beliefs about teething lose their bite. These are the persistent myths about teething. Babies Don’t Need a Dentist Many parents, who may not be fans of dentists themselves, are probably a bit reticent to get their toothless baby to the dentist....
But then there are the words that you can’t walk back. They’re cruel, spiteful, and happen for any number of reasons. They may spill out of your mouth because you don’t feel supported, you’re exhausted, you’re stressed, or you’re unhappy at work. Whatever it is that’s gnawing at you, such little annoyances can make you feel under attack, and that presents three choices: fight, flight, or freeze.

“There are a few reasons why a person can be defensive in an argument,” explains therapist Dr. Lee Phillips. “First, our bodies are made to protect us, so if someone is talking to a person in a manner that could be perceived as negative, rude, or aggressive, it is easy for them to become defensive. This is a common cause of defensive behavior. Some people are uncomfortable with confrontation, so they become anxious....

Power Should Be Exercised Generously Why It’s Going to Come Up: Like Trump or hate him, it’s impossible to deny that he’s interested in stress-testing democratic norms....
The “What Did You Do All Day?” Fight Why It Happens: When one partner is out of the house all day, they tend to make the assumption that, since the other partner is home, they’ve got time to handle all of the household duties, from doing the dishes to handling all the shopping. The reality, of course, is that keeping the household running and raising kids are two full-time jobs. That means that their time is just as valuable and they may not always be able to get to every little thing that crops up under a roof....

It’s a phytocannabinoid found in cannabis plants — however, unlike like its cousin tetrahydrocannabinol (or THC), it’s known for its calming qualities rather than psychoactive effects. The CBD oil extract sold in the United States falls into one of two categories: pure CBD isolate (which is legal everywhere because it exclusively contains CBD without any additional cannabinoids) or full spectrum oil (which retains some other cannabinoids, such as THC, and is still classified as illegal in certain states)....

Whether you were a kid hoping to get carried from the car into your bed or a parent hoping to not have to deal with your child crying at 3 a.m., we’ve all pretended to be asleep from time to time. And one toddler’s hilariously bad attempt at fake-sleeping was caught on camera, as they quickly tried to act like they were passed out despite clearly sitting up and looking wide awake moments earlier....
I told them I’m terrified that an onslaught of hate mail and online trolling will become a noxious burden, but I’m also fully prepared to confront criticism. Like most men, I’ve been fielding slurs and insults — all of them borderline misogynist, overtly homophobic, and undoubtedly toxic — since I was their age. “In our culture,” I said, “men seem to get that with or without feminism.” The first article I published about being a feminist dad was met with predictably crass comments....

Not only do both pack a punch of 80 proof, but they also give a kick of heat. ((t won’t singe your taste buds or anything; the spice level lands somewhere in the ballpark between the milder green version of Tabasco sauce and Sriracha) The concoction is inspired by an old recipe from families living in Puebla de Zaragoza, Mexico, in the 1920s, which was resurrected almost 90 years later by Mexican master distiller Dr....
