This week, Us is reporting that the famous father and daughter have had “essentially no contact” for “about three years.” (For those of…

If I ever kill anyone, I will kill them on a cruise ship.
It’s Friday. You made it through another treacherous week and even have a woman Democratic presidential nominee. Celebrate by watching a gaggle of adorable babies learn how to swim.

“No school today?”
Oh, hell yeah. It’s summer time and you know what that means—the kids are away at camp and you and your husband/wife/gender neutral partner are DOWN. TO. FUUUUUUUCK.
It has been about three years since I stopped working in men’s lifestyle media, but during the two weeks leading up to Father’s Day, I still get a lot of emails from PR people pitching “perfect gifts” for my old employer’s Father’s Day Gift Guide. Gifts for every “type” of dad: the sports-fan dad, the grill-obsessed…

“Wife and I watch a few episodes of Catastrophe,” a recent subject of New York magazine’s endlessly addictive Sex Diaries series wrote last week. “‘So us!’ we say, like every other overworked, undersexed Amazon subscriber of the land,” he continued.
I feel for Meghann Foye, author of the new book Meternity, about a woman who fakes a pregnancy so she can have take a break from work.

My son’s birthday party is tomorrow. He’s turning five. I’m supposed to dress like Darth Vader and surprise all the kids, because “Darth Vader likes birthdays, and is nice to people when it’s their birthday.” As you can see, we bought a mask and a cape and a shirt and a lightsaber and everything; this party has gotten…

1. Last summer, I watched with pride as my 4-year-old daughter raised her foot, said a “kee-yaw!” from the bottom of her gut, and kicked the board in half. Her karate teacher, a jolly, encouraging sort, said, “You have a great smile, Grace.” And handed over her new belt, white with a yellow stripe
I’ll never forget a dad I saw one of the first times I ever took my toddler to a playground. As I nervously followed my son around, this dad and his daughter—she must have been around six—were engaged in a completely immersive game of make-believe. They were running around, hiding behind stuff, shouting code words and…
