Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

I'll be honest, I'd never heard of Peace Sports' ATVs when I came across this recall issued by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Yet, it's sold enough youth-oriented ATVs that a full-blown recall was necessary after it was found to have violated federally mandated safety guidelines for ATVs.

Yeah, Don't Buy Your Kids These Dangerous ATVs

It was a scene to behold: a union president delivering a booming, barn-burner speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee—“the first Teamster in our 121-year history” to address the Republican Party, Teamsters President Sean O’Brien told the cheering crowd. While the union hasn’t endorsed former President Donald Trump (yet), O’Brien’s appearance—and Trump’s pick of Ohio Senator and “ Hillbilly Elegy ” author J.D. Vance as his running mate—aimed to solidify the bizarre notion that the Republican ticket is pro-labor and “ economic populist .”

The disorder is observed most frequently in children under the age of 13 — and it can take some time for parents to recover from the scare.

This Misunderstood Sleep Condition Is Terrifying To Parents. Here's What You Need To Know.

Parents these days tend to rely heavily on technology to keep track of their children and ensure their safety. For some folks, this includes giving their kids mobile phones at a young age. However, one of the biggest challenges they face is deciding what age is appropriate for children to own phones and what restrictions should be put in place to keep them safe. A millennial mom named Kailey Wood–who goes by @the_geriatricmillennial on TikTok–weighed in on this matter by sharing how she regretted giving her daughters phones at the age of 10. She posted a video sharing why she did so and urged fellow parents to give their children phones only by the age of 14 or 15.

It is considered a general code of good conduct to give up your table or seat for people who are old or sick. But there are chances that you might actually need a spot as much as the person approaching you. A similar thing happened with a mom, u/throwaway2e1, who went to a mall with her 5-year-old and 3-year-old kids. While waiting for her husband at the mall, she encountered a rude woman who fought with her for her table. However, the mom was not in the mood to put up with the verbal abuse and clapped back most savagely.

I was at the beach with a group of moms. It’s a group in which we are casual friends, and I feel like a bit of an outsider. I marveled at everyone else’s ability to function like a little family, with each woman doting on the others’ kids — answering their questions, shaking out their towels, and tending to their newly scraped knees. They each brought their own beach bags, but snacks and supplies became communal as all the kids transitioned to the ocean and then back to the sand.
