My wife and I both work. There’s no talk of bigger breadwinners in the family and no one’s job is “more important” than the other. I make more money, but never say so and support her job just as much as she does mine. The same goes at home. We split household chores perfectly. I mean, it’s a down-the-middle divide with everything accounted for. I cook meals, she cleans floors....
Photographer Johan Bävman (who recently just had his second child) decided to show all those fathers who took 6 or more months off for his book, Swedish Dads. Below are stay-at-home Swedes who are intimately familiar with tea time, more than ready for a sink bath, and who definitely witnessed their kid’s first steps in person.

Why? Well, for one, you’re about to potentially insult a phalanx of childhood friends, relatives, and other folks who consider themselves very close to you. Because why were they not told by you beforehand? Do you consider them on the same level as all your social-media stranger-friends? Like that guy who sat behind you in freshman year sociology? Is your Aunt Carol the same as that guy? Hmmm? For another, the parenting world — much like the wedding world — is one of clichés....
In the trailer, we see Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) listening to music in his childhood bedroom when he gets a visit from Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) via inter-dimensional travel. But these aren’t the only two Spider-Folks to appear in the teaser, as Spider-Man 2099 (Oscar Isaac) grabs Miles while he is doing some multi-verse web-slinging. With the introduction of yet another Spider-Hero, here is our current ranking of all the friendly neighborhood Spider-Men/Women/Pigs/etc....
Framing Britney Spears, The New York Times documentary about the famous pop star and her conservatorship battle with her father, has caused many to reflect on the way the media and fans treated Spears during her very public struggles with fame, addiction, and mental health in the early aughts, and about the nature of her conservatorship in general, which many want to be revoked. While Spears was clearly trying to simply keep her life together as it seemed to be falling apart, she became a national punchline and the constant subject of ridicule by media figures and television hosts, and even veteran reporters....
The transformation of cereal from health fad to breakfast candy was—raise your hand if you’re surprised, then remove yourself from class—catalyzed by the insight that more sugar equals better sales. But that got complicated once parents became a bit more health-conscious and Millennial about the thing. The modern cereal persona is a little classier, with even a sweet standby like Cocoa Puffs described as “a whole grain corn puff cereal frosted with natural flavors” rather than “hell yeah punks it’s chocolate for breakfast....
“It’d be 22 years since Animaniacs! ended,” Paulsen said during a recent phone chat with Fatherly. “We didn’t have any clue. My mouth was just agape and I was thinking, ‘Are you fucking kidding me?’ That’s the short version of the story. The long version is… Let me put it this way: We’d heard some rumblings, and now that it’s actually happened, I can look back and see a bit of a chronology....
I’m really ridiculously excited for my baby to arrive (it’s a boy; he’s a boy!). We’re 4 months out and shit is getting real. Like, the-nursery-is-painted-and-I’m-wrapping-the-registry real. So about that baby registry. In hopes of getting off to a good start and taking over some tasks that are normally “mom-tasks”, I’ve taken charge of the registry (and shower planning!) and, well, now I’m in trouble. I showed my wife the registry — which had already been sent out thanks to my over-enthusiastic mother-in-law — and my wife sort of lost it....
RuPaul sits down in the reading chair wearing a pair of star-shaped glasses, declaring “The Library is open!” and starts in on the book. “Ooh, Eloise, you need to call the front desk and get a hot oil treatment for that broom on your head,” he says. “And Victoria’s Secret called. They want their wallpaper back.” Yep, he’s teaching kids a different type of “reading,” one you’d already know if you’re a fan of RuPaul’s show Drag Race....
“Mostly because I’m against child abuse,” Reynolds replied. “Show business, for a little kid, that’s a crazy pursuit. Acting is great. Theater school, that kind of [thing] ⏤ amazing. I don’t know why you would put your kid in show business.” While Reynolds’ response appeared to be in jest, his underlying message seems to be real. While many parents dream of their kid making it big as a movie star, Reynolds believes that Hollywood is simply too “crazy” for young kids to enjoy....
Amid this chaos, people on various social media platforms have turned to the only true hero who can see us through this counting kerfuffle: Count von Count, the purple-skinned numbers-obsessed muppet from Sesame Street. As the 2020 election vote-counting became tenser and tenser, several memes have hit Twitter and other social media reminding everyone that it’s time to listen to the Count. Perhaps the best of these memes is the one in which Donald Trump appears to insist on stopping ballot counting and the Count stares back as if to say, no, I will continue to count....
Both the state of Texas and the federal government oppose legalized marijuana, so should Alex and her family return to their home state, they could face issues with the law if they continue to use the THC. “I would like to be able to visit my grandparents without risking being taken to a foster home,” Alex told local Fox affiliate KDVR. She’d also like to go to college in Texas when she is older....
Skin care isn’t a large part of the lives of most men, but when the alternative is potentially dying of melanoma, it should be. That’s why Fatherly created this no-BS guide to skin cancer in men, including how to protect yourself against this deadly — but preventable! — disease. (Hint: There’s more to do than just wear sunscreen.) Skin Cancer in Men Men are much more likely than women to die from melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association....
“That disruption in taking care of yourself because of the first baby can contribute to issues of not being able to conceive the second baby,” Jane Frederick, a fertility reproductive endocrinologist, told Fatherly. One study of 953 Danish men, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, found that men who reported the most sleep disturbances experienced the lowest sperm counts, and were more likely to have mutated swimmers. Indeed, sleep deprivation has even been shown to prevent male rats from reproducing normally....
“What up, YouTube? It’s your boy Brandon,” the video begins, because every elementary school influencer apparently has to talk like that. After a random moment of yelling with a red filter for no reason, Brandon reveals that he has a “corny…ass…dad” with a filter that makes him sound like a kidnapper. Epic. The first prank is pretty tame, a simple shoot dad in the back of the head with a Nerf gun....
Ronaldo is the captain of the Portuguese national team, one of the squads currently competing in the UEFA Euro 2020 Championship in Budapest. On Monday, he sat down for a press conference ahead of his team’s opening match against host country Hungary. Behind him was the standard array of sponsor logos. In front of him were a bottle of Coke and a bottle of Coke Zero Sugar, two products from the company that’s sponsored UEFA since 1988....
On the April 11 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, where Katy was a guest, the two declared their desire to have a new song replace the one about shark families. And they took the task upon themselves. They wrote a new song, keeping in mind what kids are obsessed with at the toddler-and-up age: garbage trucks, planes, dinosaurs, and puppies. From there, they got to work and wrote a song that pulls some of the repetition magic that’s done so well in other kid songs....
Referring to his character — last seen working on a chain gang in Siberia — Harbour said enough to get fans of the series even more exciting for its long-awaited return. “You really do get to see a lot of his backstory of who he was as a warrior in a sense and sort of the mistakes he made in the past come back to visit him,” Harbour said. As for the other characters, he promised “great fan service stuff” and more elaboration on their characters that will “reveal different aspects of themselves....
Long story short? High blood sugar and high triglycerides are bad for you in more ways than the obvious. Researchers found significant evidence correlating elevated blood glucose and the development of Alzheimer’s, according to the study, published in the journal Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Low HDL and elevated triglycerides were also linked to Alzheimer’s. They found no evidence of a link between smoking, BMI, or LDL (“bad” cholesterol) with the development of cognitive dysfunction as the participant aged....
Similar to lawn-mowing/leaf-raking/snow-shoveling bots Kobi and Miimo, Tertill (pronounced turtle,) is a weatherproof weed sentry from Franklin Robotics that patrols and protects your tomatoes and romaine lettuce. It lives in the garden, so you can’t forget to bring it in/out, and automatically goes to work when the battery is charged. It uses two cutting methods: first, a small spinning nylon wire underneath works like a weed whacker; second, the angled camber wheels grind up smaller weeds as they break the surface....
