There’s a saying out there that goes something like this: Siblings are the only people in life that span the totality of one’s life from start to finish. At least for the most part. They see the best and worst of one another, and while some aren’t as close, others have a bond that’s unbreakable. After all, if they spent a lot of time sharing a bedroom or — let’s be honest — simply sharing a parent, which can bond people pretty quickly....

There is something so special and safe about having sex with a long-term partner. There’s been time to figure out what works and what doesn’t when it comes to having orgasms, and familiarity can be comfortable.

We talked to 20 moms and, after agreeing to keep their identities confidential, asked them to confess the one thing they really wish their partner would be willing to try at least once in the bedroom....

The holiday season is officially here, and while as adults, it can be a bit stressful, it’s important to remember that for kids, it’s all magic — and usually, that magic is all thanks to Mom (even if Santa does get at least half of the credit). While obviously, the grand finale is waking up on Christmas morning to find all the presents that appeared under the tree overnight, there’s a lot of fun to be had in the weeks and days leading up to it, and most of it can be done from home and for free....

Siblings may not always get along, but if there’s one time they’ll definitely come together and share in their excitement, it’s Halloween.

One thing that is almost universally understood is that parenting and raising kids is not an easy task. If being a mother were easy, then there wouldn’t be billions of books, shows, and websites (like this one) out there to try to help with it all. Whether a mom has questions about breastfeeding, school lunches, swaddling, potty training, or she just wants to vent, most people turn to the internet these days....

Sleep is hard to come by as a new parent, since newborns need a lot of attention as they adjust to life outside the womb. Newborns need to be fed and changed every few hours, so parents are lucky to get a few hours of sleep at a time, at least for baby’s first few months. It’s exhausting, but so worth it. That said, it wouldn’t be a bad thing if parents could get more sleep, right?...

Every birth is a miracle, no matter how the child enters the world. Some say that women who have C-section deliveries don’t really give birth, though, which is complete and utter nonsense. But for some women who have had C-sections, there may be a bit of a disconnect during the delivery process. A group of obstetricians are challenging traditional thoughts on C-sections and getting the mothers more involved. A maternal-assisted cesarian, or MAC, gives moms a chance to help deliver their babies in a more hands-on way by assisting the doctor in pulling the baby out of the uterus....

Chris Pratt has a question that a lot of parents have: When is it OK to get rid of your kids’ sentimental stuff? This question is especially pressing for parents of adult children who have moved out.

Granted, Chris and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger are parents to preschoolers and still have some time before they have to seriously consider these things, but what happens when it’s your stuff and not your kids'?...
