There’s this pattern where divorced women often seem to thrive post-divorce, rediscovering themselves, finding their own groove, and just glowing up in every way. It’s like they get this second wind, finally free to prioritize their own happiness. Meanwhile, a lot of divorced men seem to struggle, like their life sort of unravels without the structure they had in marriage. It’s wild how different the outcomes can be, but it also speaks to how much emotional labor women tend to carry in relationships. Once that weight’s lifted, they can finally focus on themselves, while the men are left dealing with what they’ve been avoiding.

Here in Michigan, all 1.4 million public-school students get free breakfast and lunch at school, every day. Not only does this save families hundreds of dollars a year, but it also gives students the fuel they need to succeed in the classroom 🍎

She’s absolutely right.

Chappell Roan calls out the public harassment she has received from fans:

“I don’t care that this crazy type of behavior comes along with the job… that does not make it okay.”

The pastor who did our premarital counseling died about 2 years ago. The thing I remember the most was when we were talking about family expectations. Did we intend for me to stay at home with kids, were we fine with me working? We both gave a unanimous agreement for me to stay at home. He nodded and paused. He said, "That's good you're in agreement. I will give you one thing to hang onto when you walk through that. Marriage isn't about holding to the ideals of your youth. It's about loving the other person well as they grow and change, as life throws many challenges. That means as a couple you have to be flexible. Maybe she don't like staying at home. Maybe it works for awhile, and then it doesn't. Maybe the family needs the money. Maybe everything is fine, and you'll always stay home. But it's not about just loving the person they are now, it's committing to loving the person they will become. Your commitment is to each other, not your ideals."

O Holy Night.

Based on a French poem by Placide Cappeau, the song tells the story of the first Christmas Eve. It was first performed in a village in rural France in 1847 and is now sung on Christmas Eve all over the world.

Happy Christmas from the west of Ireland🎄

How long does a toddler hug last?

As long as it needs to.

When this little guy encountered his favorite character at Disney, he went in for the biggest and most heartfelt hug ever.

When Mom suggests it might be time to give someone else a turn, it’s Winnie the Pooh himself who provides a non-verbal reminder that hugs end when a child’s needs are met.

It’s a good rule of thumb for the little ones you love. You’ll never regret the extra seconds spent hugging your babies.

@RNSuperHero Yeeessss! Just had a guy this week who kept telling us he wanted out to “have a beer.” Doc wouldn’t discharge him and once withdrawal and confusion hit, family wouldn’t take him AMA cause they wanted him to detox.

1/ A Texas Judge grants a woman carrying a Trisomy 18 fetus an abortion.
This is what people "abortion is healthcare" means. This fetus will not survive but the mother’s life & her ability to bear future children is at serious risk if she can’t get this procedure https://t.co/PXFuUtls4W

“But there is one thing that I can do all by myself.”

“What is that?” asked Frog.

“I can go home,” said Toad. “Winter may be beautiful, but bed is much better.”
