For the first three days after Veruca Salt brought her baby son Cash home from the hospital, she couldn’t sleep. She just couldn’t stop staring at him.  “ I was so scared to just be alone with him. I have this baby and I didn’t have to do a quiz or anything? They’ve just given me this baby?” Salt, an Australian OnlyFans model and influencer, tells Rolling Stone. “But after that first hour alone with him, all that fear that I was going to do something wrong or that he wouldn’t like me, all of that was just gone. I…

Parenting is pretty well known for being a herculean task that can be revelatory for those who decide to take it on. And, though doing so while in the public eye and separated from your child’s other parent can be even harder, it can certainly still be a positive game changer for many. Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper (who’s up for several awards for Maestro, which those with a Netflix subscription can enjoy) was recently quite candid about how he has heart to heart talks with his young daughter while on the toilet, because,…

Rubin, a baby bonobo, was foraging near his mother Rose in the Congo rain forest when an adult bonobo named Olive snatched some food from Rubin’s tiny hands. Then Olive smacked the baby, hard, in the face and neck—right in front of his mother.Primatologist Rachna Reddy of the University of Utah, who was observing the group from about 30 feet away, expected Mom to lay down the law. “I was just like, ‘Gasp! Somebody’s about to get beaten up,’” she says. But to Reddy’s shock, Rose didn’t lift a finger, even as baby Rubin…

As a parent, you prepare yourself for various milestones: their first tooth, first step, first word. But here we were, my eldest daughter, Raffaella, and I, and it was her first real push asking for social media. She was 14. She had talked about it before, but more in curiosity – this time she was serious. She wanted it; specifically Snapchat. And she was at the negotiating table with that focused, steely look in her eye that I have always admired.I started negotiations with a simple question: “Why?” Her reasons were all…

ADVERTISEMENT The decision to have a baby can be loaded with romance but it also comes with a fair amount of uncertainty. On the one hand, there is the possibility of joy and new meaning in your life, but on the other, it requires you to sacrifice freedom and flexibility. This man and his spouse weren’t ready for it.

My brother was injured in a training accident in the Israeli army. It wasn't life threatening but it was a pretty messy injury that needed immediate care. For some reason the base commander tried to hide the injury and refused to send my brother to the hospital. Instead he sent him to the camp medic who took one look at my brother and said "here, have some morphine and holy god I'm going to call for help". My brother asked him to call my mom. My mom, a military police major at the time, commandeered a helicopter…
