But peek under the hood and you’ll find modern guts, from polarized lenses to durable materials and scratch-resistant treatments that let you actually live in your frames. Many are prescription-ready, and all of them cut glare and tame the harshest bluebird skies, letting you enjoy the day with eyes wide open. The problem is, there are endless options when it comes to buying a pair of sunglasses. So we’ve broken down the best options to appeal to differing personality types and activities....

The move, which coincided with National Dad’s Day of Action, was a long time in the making. Skaggs has four children — two of whom had chronic illnesses. He was not allowed to take leave from work to care for them, Guillermo, on the other hand, was denied leave from the company he worked at as a phlebotomist for seven years when his first son was born, and then spent time working in the gig economy....

In an homage to Planet of the Apes, the set is a 20-inch tall Statue of Liberty head that Emmett, Lucy, and the rest of the gang from the first film repurposed after the invasion. It’s a modular set, with sections that can be removed for easy play. Rooms include a café, Lucy’s hideout, Fuse’s workshop, and a rooftop diner, among others. While its scale is impressive, where this set really shines is its attention to detail....

Promises are a tricky thing when you’re a parent. I want so much for you that I worry I’ll promise things I can’t deliver, just because I don’t want to crush your dreams. Of course, that will happen anyway — I won’t be able to deliver everything I plan to — but I don’t want you to feel like you can’t trust in me. So I thought long and hard about the things that I can promise you, and here’s what I came up with....

Unilever North America Rank: 6 2017 Rank: N/AFull-Time Employees: 7,851 Headquartered in New Jersey, the North American arm of the UK-based consumer goods giant, which owns popular brands Axe, Dove, Hellmann’s, Ben & Jerry’s, Lipton, and Vaseline, had eventful year, turning down a turn down a $143 billion takeover from Heinz/Kraft and posting a four percent sales increase. In 2017, the purveyor of family-friendly goods introduced a family-friendly leave program, extending paid parental leave for full-time salaried employees from four to eight weeks....

Victim mentality is complicated and often a coping mechanism formed in childhood. But if you’re in a relationship with someone who constantly sees themselves as the victim in their personal narrative, it can be a constant swirl of chaos and emotional upheaval. You may find yourself constantly being blamed for their problems, or always listening to them talk about how nothing goes right in their lives and that they are powerless to change their circumstances....

You barely need to be a parent, or even a runner for that matter, to recognize the BOB name when it comes to jogging strollers. The “Beast of Burden,” as it was originally known (seriously), has become synonymous with hard-edged strollers designed to tackle the toughest of terrain. The new BOB Revolution Pro, with its adjustable handlebar and hand-activated disc brakes, continues that tradition. Here’s what customers and online reviewers have to say ⏤ both good and bad⏤ about the latest model....

While technically not a “baby monitor,” the Nest Cam has your kid covered while still integrating with those other Nest products that make sure you don’t burn to death in your bed. It’s actually a high-def, wide-angle security camera with night vision that streams over Wi-Fi to a smartphone app. Which means you can watch Junior sleep from your favorite restaurant, rather than just the next room over. (Editors note: We don’t recommend leaving a sleeping child unattended, no matter how good the steak tips)....

With fewer people heading to the stores, many Walmart locations find themselves with extra parking spaces, and they’ve come up with a smart solution. The company is partnering with Tribeca Enterprise, which oversees the Tribeca Film Festival, to convert 160 Walmart parking lots into makeshift drive-in movie theaters. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Walmart, “is transforming 160 of its store parking lots into contact-free drive-in movie theaters, allowing viewers to have a socially distanced big-screen experience amid the coronavirus pandemic....

The official game show account tweeted a clip from the Thanksgiving episode of Jeopardy! before it was set to air later that evening. Alex had pre-taped several episodes before his death from pancreatic cancer on Nov. 8 — and this was one of them. On each episode, Alex would always sign-off the end of the show by addressing the viewers. On this pre-taped show, his address made it seem almost like he knew exactly what people would need to hear at this time of year....

The story opens in Boston, 1975, with the lives of three pre-teens – Jimmy, Sean, and Dave — forever haunted when two men kidnap Dave and rape him (off-screen) over the course of several days. Cut to 25 years later. Jimmy (Sean Penn), Sean (Kevin Bacon), and Dave (Tim Robbins) are all still in Boston but have grown apart. Some major Shakespearean tragedy then occurs, starting with the murder of Jimmy’s oldest daughter, Katie (Emmy Rossum)....

During a segment called “What Do Kids Know About The Golden Globes?”, TikTok star La’Ron Hines asked children different questions about the awards ceremony, including what a Golden Globe is and what celebrities do during awards shows. For the most part, the kids gave predictably ridiculous answers, as a five-year-old obviously has no idea about the inner-workings of the second-most popular movie awards show. But the goofy segment took a sincere and emotional turn when Hines asked the kids who is Chadwick Boseman and every single one of them gave the exact same answer....

Which is what happens in Luca. In a new, exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from Disney and Pixar, the kids in the cast of the film talk about the nature of friendship, and why it’s not always just magic and rainbows. “Friendships at this age can be so intense,” voice actor Emma Berman says in the clip. “Because we don’t know how to be good friends yet! And these are the friendships that teach us that lesson....

With a great soundtrack and a fantastic performance from Emma Stone, Cruella is a great film to watch with your angsty tweens or, after the little ones have gone to bed. When Fatherly spoke to Stone about the launch of the movie, she said that although Cruella isn’t supposed to be a role model, that the movie nonetheless has a powerful message for young girls. “I think it really is a movie about how your weaknesses do sort of becoming your strengths, in a way....

Students who attended the for-profit school Westwood College will see their debt canceled for the now-defunct school, per CNBC. The cancelation covers students who attended any of the Westwood College campuses or were enrolled online between Jan. 1, 2002, and Nov. 17, 2015, before the schools closed their doors in 2016. The cancelation comes after the Department of Education found the school to have routinely misled students by “grossly misrepresenting” the value of the school’s credentials....

“These cumulative effects are particularly apparent with men because they often see themselves as the breadwinner,” Jarret Patton, M.D., a pediatrician and career coach, told Fatherly. “However, women can have the same physiological and psychological changes.” The sudden loss of a job typically sends you into fight-or-flight mode, immediately releasing a flood of hormones such as cortisol, norepinephrine, and adrenaline into your system. When you’re running for your life, those hormones are quite helpful....

“When a child hurts their parent’s feelings it is important to stop, pause, and address these hurt feelings,” family therapist Katie Ziskind told Fatherly. “This process teaches your child empathy and compassion. Parents who brush it off actually do a disservice to their child.” Hurt feelings cause emotional pain as well as physical pain, research shows, and there’s evidence that family members are especially good at landing the blows that are most felt....

“We noticed a huge shift in their behavior when Manasi got pregnant,” says Mody, a certified relationship coach and now the father of two in Milwaukee. “The way my mom was behaving was like how a sibling would feel left out about a new baby.” Poorak’s parents visited when the baby was 10 days old, and things got tense enough that Poorak and Manasi didn’t talk to them for a while afterward....

Understandably, a lot of parents jump the gun and then get frustrated. Thus the advice: Chill. “If someone is trying to toilet train an 18-month-old, and it’s not working, the reason it’s not working is that the child is too young,” says Howard J. Bennett, M.D., author of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ book, Waking Up Dry: A Guide to Help Children Overcome Bedwetting. “As a general rule, if parents are feeling some rush to teach their children to use the toilet, it’s often a sign that things aren’t going to go well,” Bennett says....
