The incident comes during a tense time within the American educational system: schools are struggling to navigate the return to in-person classrooms and everything they entail—including transportation. At its worst, these mounting tensions have resulted in instances of outright conflict in educational settings around the country. This particular video, found here, begins with the school bus approaching from down the road. On-screen text added by @cassahfrass1 read: “This bus driver makes my kids cry every day....

Tracey Croft, 35, discovered the three-inch long blade in a box of dried mango Wind Ups she had bought for her two young sons. The mom paid £1.79 ($2.18) for the snack from Lidl in Ryhall Road, Stamford, in the U.K., last month. But she was horrified when she opened the box to find a sharp pink-bladed knife next to three packets of the snack. Croft, a graphic designer, usually lets her children, Kenneth, five, and Corey, three, help themselves to the fruity treats....

Kaylee-Jayde Priest was found dead in an apartment in Solihull, United Kingdom, on August 9, 2020, and soon after her mother, Nicola Priest, 23, began uploading videos purporting to be in her memory. One of the clips, which was viewed by the Birmingham Mail, includes Priest mouthing along to a song which includes lyrics about having “messed up bad.” This video, which had a teeth-brightening filter on it, was shared just 39 days after Kaylee was found dead....

And that’s the exact reaction one mom got, after she decided to play dead to see how her trio of Border Collies, sometimes referred to as sheepdogs, would react. Sasha Poldmaa shared a clip to her TikTok account, @sashapoldmaa, which she captioned: “Wonder what they’d do if I played dead at work?” It shows the mom of four boys standing in a field surrounded by cattle, suggesting she works on a farm, as she suddenly drops to the ground....

In a viral post shared on Reddit’s famous AmITheA**hole sub, which can be seen here, user Ambers666 explained her unemployed husband had been using the pool despite saying their kids could use it. Ambers666 added that she had put money towards renovating and upgrading the pool so the children could use it, as she worked and did not have time to take them to the beach. Having a pool is a popular choice among millions of Americans....

In a viral Reddit post published on r/AmITheA******, Redditor u/miniT354345 (otherwise referred to as the original poster, or OP) said she and her ex were on good terms—until she posted a video of him under the influence at a recent event. Titled, “[Am I the a******] for refusing to take down a video of my kids’ father dancing at my brother’s wedding?” the post has received more than 10,000 upvotes and 3,500 comments in the last day....

In a post shared on Reddit last Sunday, u/Silent-Bluejay-3524 explained that the pair haven’t spoken to each other in three years but they recently met at their parent’s house for their dad’s birthday, and it ended up in an argument. It started when her sister first heard her children’s names and she said they were “weird” asking “why did [she] do that to her kids.” The two sisters have always been opposites, according to the post, and in the past, the poster has been accused by her sister of having a “weird obsession with being different,” which she believes is because her mother gave her an unusual name....

No, you don’t have to scrub anything with soapy suds, instead the hack is fairly hassle-free. On July 4, a Minnesota mom, who goes by the account name Jojo.butterflylove, shared the simple hack to TikTok. Speaking into the camera, while wearing bright pink sunglasses, she revealed: “If I take Irish Spring soap, shred it up, and sprinkle it around outside where I’m going to be sitting, it’s going to keep the bugs away....

In a post shared to Mumsnet on Wednesday 6 April, user maloney123 shared her disappointment at finding out her daughter had been given ice cream for the first time without her permission. She explained that her in-laws had been babysitting her 9-month-old daughter one day a week, and during a day trip, they had taken her for a treat. She wrote: “Please let me preface this post by acknowledging that my in laws look after our baby once a week and I’m hugely grateful to them for this....

In a post on Mumsnet on November 15, user 97DS asked: “Should I change my son’s name to please my mother-in-law?” Taylor A. Humphrey, founder of baby name consultancy What’s in a Baby Name told Newsweek: “Sadly it’s very common for families and friends to express their dismay over a couple’s name choices. People feel very comfortable—perhaps a bit too comfortable—sharing their opinions about names, even when those opinions are ill-informed....

The group endorsed more than 270 candidates nationwide who all touted similar messaging in the culture wars between conservatives and progressives: school closures during COVID were overwrought and destructive; Critical Race Theory is itself racist; boys and girls are different and should not share the same locker rooms and restrooms; and there’s way too much focus on a pro-LGBTQ agenda. Some opponents of Moms for Liberty have called their positions bigoted, homophobic, racist fear-mongering and extremist....

The venture is a gamble, and not only because Languedoc has a poor reputation for producing good wine. French fears about globalization have made all big U.S. companies potential targets for protest. Last spring local environmentalists drummed out an American businessman bent on opening a racetrack in the region. But Mondavi means to succeed where other foreigners – including some other big winemakers, who brought modern techniques to Languedoc in the early 1990s but soon picked up and left – have not....

In the TV contest some might call “Testosterone vs. Estrogen,” testosterone is the sure winner. It’s virtually impossible to compete against ABC’s “Monday Night Football,” but this season CBS has put together a formidable lineup–aimed directly at a female audience. It’s risking a new drama, “The Trials of Rosie O’Neill,” and giving it a boost by leading in with two established sitcoms, “Murphy Brown” and “Designing Women.” New crop: Though “Rosie O’Neill” is shaping up as an ensemble show, it’s a star vehicle for Sharon Gless as a newly divorced, 43-year-old lawyer who has given up a tony Beverly Hills practice to defend both the honorable disenfranchised and the scum of L....

But there is some money out there–you just have to work a bit to find it. Almost all schools hand out help that’s not tied to need, and many schools–though they won’t admit it–are willing to sweeten offers if they’re fighting with other schools over good students. And there are other ways to whittle down the college price tag: Make your case, nicely. Most schools that provide aid will reconsider their offer if you can show them you have less money than they thought....

If either spouse owns life insurance or has a pension or 401(k) plan, update the beneficiary designations to reflect your marital status. Also, update your filing status on your Form W-4 and notify your employers if there is a change in address. You can deduct a number of medical expenses related to starting—or delaying—the expansion of your family. Deductions include fees paid for childbirth-preparation classes, certain fertility procedures, birth-control pills and operations to prevent having children....

-Use only banks or American Express offices for changing your money, and avoid booths at airports, hotels and tourist attractions. -Pay for purchases with a credit card, but not just any card, since extra fees are common. Capital One, MBNA and many credit unions won’t pile up the fees. -Get a guarantee. If you can, lock in prices on dollar-denominated reservations, even if you have to pay upfront. Of course, if you do commit to those reservations, you run the risk that the dollar will reverse its slide....

As of August 17, the U.S. had 34 percent of all worldwide cases. Other countries that have been hit hard by the latest outbreak, such as the U.K. and Spain, have begun to see the curve of cases fall. But this is not yet the situation in the U.S., where case numbers continue to climb. On August 23, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recorded 42,954 cases of monkeypox worldwide, the vast majority of which are in countries and regions where monkeypox is not endemic....

Michael Matsunaga, from Wahiawa on the island of O’ahu, made the catch on the morning of August 30 in the waters off Turtle Bay, HawaiiNewsNow reported. At the time, Matsunaga was bottom-fishing, a technique that involves the angler dropping the bait all the way down to the bottom of the water column to target fish that live on or near the ground. The 69-year-old had dropped his bait—consisting of fish and squid—down to a depth of around 400 feet when he noticed something on his line....

The Child Tax Credit (CTC) has been in place since 1997, but the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 increased the amount from the standard of $2000 per child under the age of 17 to $3000 per child for children six to 17, and $3600 for children under the age of six. Children aged 17, who didn’t qualify for a CTC before 2021, are now eligible as well. The ARP also did something unheard of—it will send half of that tax credit directly to parents in small increments each month from July to December instead of in one lump sum at the end of the year....
