Mother is outraged to find padded bras being sold for six year old girls

Recently, the post of Angela Fellars, a mother of a six-year-old daughter, went viral and people’s thoughts are divided.

Namely, as she and her girl were shopping at Nordstrom, Angela noticed a product at the girls’ section that caught her attention and made her very angry; padded bras. According to her post, she couldn’t possibly understand why would six year old girls even wear padded bras.

The debate that took place was pretty much heated. Some parents supported Angela and said that selling such products lead to over-sexualization of little girls. Some of the comments are:

“This is MeToo era and no swimsuits in Miss America … but padded bras 4 6ers?” 

“I’m confused. Why would a six-year-old need a bra. Maybe they’re mislabeled?” 

These are padded bras for SIX YEAR OLDS — WTAF, Nordstrom & Calvin Klein?

Posted by Angela Fellars on Saturday, 18 August 2018

Others, however, believe that the bras labeled 6-6x don’t really refer to the age of the girls, but to the size only. And in case it does, they say how the girls these days go into puberty early than it was the case in the past and they see nothing wrong with the product.

“Ana only got bras because her nipples would show through the shirt materials she liked. And then they would still poke out with the simple bras. So the little pad was needed or she was really self-conscious.” one person commented, sharing the experience of her daughter.

“Having 2 daughters there’s nothing wrong with this. It isn’t a padded bra for adding size or a lift. It isn’t even underwire. It’s for comfort and discretion. Geez lady, get a grip” another mom added.

The thing is that most of the girls will eventually start wearing a bra. However, it’s up to the parents to explain them why they are for.

What are your thoughts on this? Are you for or against padded bras for girls as young as six? Share it with us in the comments section below.

Teacher explains that farts are loud to her deaf students

Young children are really fun to be around because they are honest to the core and always speak their mind. Teachers on the other hand usually get lots of questions, many of which can be pretty silly, but they are always expected to come up with the right answers and satisfy the children’s curiosity. One teacher shared on Facebook a fun story of how she taught her deaf students that passing gasses was actually audible to the hearing world after one of her first graders slipped a fart. The explanation and the whole conversation are hilarious and we are so happy we got to read it.

Below is the conversation which was posted on Facebook by Anna Lind Thomas. Passing gas is a life lesson that’s already hard to grasp as a child – add a loss of hearing, and the concept is nearly impossible to comprehend! She wrote:
“Today in 1st grade, one of my Deaf students farted loudly in class and the other students turned to look at them. The following is a snippet of a 15 minute conversations that happened entire in American Sign Language among the group of Deaf students and I.* Kid 1: Why are they looking at me? Me: Because they heard you fart. Kid 1: Whhhhat do you mean?!?! Me: Hearing people can hear farts. Kid 2: *Totally horrified* Wait, they can hear all farts?!”

The confusion continued:
“Me: Well no. Not all farts but some of them yes. Kid 3: How do you know which farts they can hear and which farts they can’t? Me: Hmmm … you know how sometimes you can feel your butt move when you fart? A lot of those they can hear. But if your butt doesn’t move it’s more likely they didn’t hear it. Kid 1: TELL THEM TO STOP LISTENING TO MY FARTS! THAT IS NOT NICE! Me: Hearing kids can’t stop hearing farts, it just happens.”
Facebook/Anna Lind Thomas
That’s when a novel idea struck the student – they were going to stop tooting altogether!
“Kid 2: I just will stop farting then. Me: Everyone farts, it is healthy. You can’t stop. Kid 3: Wait, everyone? Even my mom? Me: Yep. Kid 2: My Dad? Me: Yep. Kid 1: …. You? Me: Yep. Kids: *Laugh hysterically* Kid 1: So you can hear and small all the farts? Me: Some of the farts, yes. Not all of them. Kid 2: Can hearing people see farts?”
Facebook/Anna Lind Thomas
Mrs. Anna never thought she would talk and teach about passing gas during her lesson, but there she was, and she found the whole thing interesting.
“Kid 3: Yeah. Green smoke comes out of their butt, I saw it on TV. Me: That doesn’t happen in real life. Kid 1: What?! Ugh, I don’t understand farts. … I went to college for 8 years to have these conversations.”
The conversation ended with lots of laughter. It was a very educational day, as students learned a life lesson, and that’s that farts can be loud enough so other people can hear them.

As for the rest of us, today’s lesson is to teach us how to sign fart in sign language. See it in the video below. 

After trying for 17 years, mom welcomes 6 babies

The amazing story of Adeboye Taiwo and his wife Ajibola teaches us that we should never give up on our dreams no matter the obstacles and the difficulties that come along the way. And if we feel as there is no way out, we should always remember that God has better plans for us. 

The Nigerian couple had been married for 17 years, but they couldn’t have children. Adeboye’s family and friends even told him to get a divorce and get himself another wife who could give him the baby he wanted so badly.

Needless to say, he never though of leaving his wife, despite what everyone advised him. 

In the fight against infertility, the couple spent around $213,000, and although it seemed that all the effort was in vain, they refused to give up on becoming parents one day.

“I made it known to them that I love my wife so deeply,” he told the Standard. “I assured them that my wife, Ajibola, would surely give birth to baby for me at God’s own time and in His season.”

And Abeboye’s faith paid off big time.

“I was excited,” Adeboye told CNN. “For the very first time, we were expecting.”

To everyone’s surprise, Ajibola was caring not one, not two, but six babies. 

This brave mother gave birth at only 30-weeks pregnant via c-section. They welcomed their bundles of joy and were over the moon with the adorable sextuplets of three boys and three girls. We are sure the Taiwos will have so much fun with that many children under one roof.

The babies were delivered at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU Virginia. Team of around 40 doctors and other staff was preparing for the big arrival weeks in advance making sure everything goes as smoothly as planned. 

The babies were tiniest but the cutest little creatures the hospital staff has ever seen.

“The team quickly assembled to begin prenatal management and delivery planning including pre-delivery drills and resuscitation exercises. A typical labor and delivery shift includes one, perhaps two premature births, usually with time in between. We had to coordinate with our colleagues in the NICU for six premature babies to be delivered simultaneously,” the hospital’s medical director of labor and delivery, Dr. Susan lanni, said in the press release.

“I hope for the smallest of my six children to grow up and say, ‘I was so small, and look at me now,’” Ajibola said.

Thanks to the doctors, the babies are doing great. The parents are extremely grateful for everything the staff does for their children. 

“The medical team is excellent in medicine and hospitality,” Adeboye said in the statement. “We are far from home but the medical team is our family. That is what got us this far.”

However, the hospital staff says how the parents were willing to collaborate, which resulted with a positive outcome in the process of complete recovery. 

“We’re going through this extraordinary journey together with the family,” Ronald Ramus, M.D., director of the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at VCU Medical Center, said. “It’s not every day that parents bring home sextuplets. Mrs. Taiwo was eating, sleeping and breathing for seven. A lot of the support and encouragement we gave her to make it as far as she did was important, and one of the biggest contributions we made as a team.”

Angry mom hits her daughter with a sandal from 50 yards away and we’re all pretty impressed

If you ever been a naughty kid or you are already a parent, then you are probably familiar with “the slipper.” Yes, your mom used to threaten to hurt you with it when you misbehaved, and now you use it as a secret “weapon” to keep your kids out of trouble.

A video that has gone viral recently made many people laugh only because they found themselves in a similar situation. A mother and a daughter were probably involved in an argument that didn’t finish well, so the young girl decided to leave the house. Well, it turns out her mother didn’t like that, so she decided to get outside and chase her daughter. The woman could be heard yelling at the young lady, as a man’s voice says, “Go on, hit her, hit her!” The mother seems to like this passerby’s idea so she takes her sandal off her foot and throws it towards her daughter.

Although the mother is more than 50 yards away from the girl who’s walking along the street, she hits her directly in the head. The lady falls straight to the ground. Even she got hit, people found all this pretty hilarious.

The good thing is that the daughter didn’t get hurt. Her mother’s intention wasn’t to harm her, that’s why she used her flip flop which isn’t heavy. But she definitely taught her a lesson.

The video was originally posted on Twitter and has been seen more than 1.4 million times. People are impressed by this mother’s ability to hit her “target” from that far.

“That lady must work as a sniper,” someone wrote.

“A possible first Draft selection for the @NFL,” another person added.

We do agree how this woman’s throw is even better than that of the professional baseball players.

Take a look at the video below. This is gonna make you laugh!

Meet Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, who is making a career in the film industry

Riley Keough is a name we will likely hear a lot about in the years to come.

She’s an incredibly talented young lady who started her career in the showbiz as a model and was part of campaigns of huge brands such as Dolce & Gabbana and Dior. Recently, she tired herself in the film industry as well, and she’s doing awesome. Some of the film she was part of are Magic Mike (2012) and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). In 2016, she was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for her role in the series The Girlfriend Experience.

However, what you may didn’t know about this stunning woman is that she is the granddaughter of one of the most famous musicians who have ever walked this Earth, The King of Rock and Roll himself, Elvis Presley.

Riley is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough. She was born in 1989, a year after her parents tied the knot, but spent a few years of her childhood at the famous ranch Neverland which belonged to the legendary Michael Jackson whom her mother married in 1994.

Speaking of her childhood, Riley told Hollywood.com, “I grew up very privileged with my mother. But my dad didn’t live like that. And I think experiencing both sides has been helpful. My father had mattresses on the floor of his apartments. He lived in cabins and trailer parks. He just didn’t have much money.”

“Actually, my memories of growing up with him were so colorful and eccentric and fun,” she said. “It was a good vibe, you know? When I was like eight I told him, ‘I want to grow up and be poor like you!’ He was eating a bowl of cereal. I didn’t realize how wildly offensive that was!”

Riley and her mother have always been very close.

In fact, Lisa Marie is very proud of her daughter and supports her dreams of pursuing a career in film, although she knows how hard it is to be under the spotlight all the time, especially if you are the granddaughter of Elvis Presley.

“My daughter is very busy acting, has a crazy schedule,” Lisa Marie said. “It’s a constant struggle and juggle to get everybody in the same place at the same time and keep us close. None of us are happy if we haven’t seen each other past a week or two. It’s just a normal family.”

Because she wanted to be famous for who she is, Riley decided not to use her grandfather’s surname. “I didn’t have it as hard as my mom. I didn’t have his last name,” she told NylonMagazine. “There’s something about that … writing my name, it’s not Presley. That’s heavy.”

Riley had a brother, Benjamin, who died in July of this year. It was a tragedy that shook the family very deeply. They are all still having a hard time coping with the loss. According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office, the cause of Benjamin’s death was listed as suicide.

We hope the family will get over the pain this tragedy triggered at each and every one of them. As for Riley, we are all looking forward to her new projects. She’s not only successful, but also very beautiful. The resemblance between Riley and her mother and grandfather is uncanny, don’t you agree?

Ron Howard’s daughter is all grown up and following into her father’s footsteps

Ron Howard made his screen debut when he was just a four-year-old boy and stole the hearts of many with his charm and his acting talent. Playing little Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show opened his doors to the world of the showbiz and he hasn’t left Hollywood ever since. However, after he grew to fame even more with the role of Richie Cunningham on Happy Days, Howard realized he wanted to bee behind the camera.

As a director, producer, and screenwriter, he conquered Hollywood and won numerous awards.

Howard got two Academy Awards, for “A Beautiful Mind,” and “Apollo 13”, four Emmys, a Grammy, two Golden Globes and was nominated for seven BAFTA Awards and was a recipient of the National Medal of Arts in 2001. His contribution to the television and motion picture industries has been rewarded with two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

His daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard, followed into her famous father’s footsteps and pursued a career as an actress. Bryce is the first child of Howard and his high-school sweetheart, Cheryl. The couple has three more children together. Howard is described by his family as a loving husband and a father, and is his children’s role model.

Howard and his wife never really wanted their children to live in the spotlight. What they wanted was for them to have a normal childhood.

However, when Bryce turned seven, Howard let her be an extra in some of his movies and that’s when she got to experience what it felt like to be in front of the camera. What’s most, Bryce loved it and somehow knew that acting was her calling.

Bryce’s first bigger role was that of Ivy Walker in the blockbuster The Village. Since then, her career only went upwards and she played Victoria in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and then appeared opposite Chris Pratt in Jurassic World. Other significant roles are that in the Gold where she played alongside Mathew McConaughey and in an episode of the Netflix’s show, Black Mirror.

Coming from a family of successful actors, it’s not surprising Bryce inherited the talent.

She’s glad she got to learn from the best and always makes sure to tell those who supported her throughout the way that she’s grateful. Howard’s mother, Jean, stared in more than 30 shows such as Married… with Children, Grace Under Fire and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

We are glad Bryce is living her dream. If you are a fan of hers and her father, share this story with your friends.

Adopted woman searches for birth parents, finds them and siblings she never knew about

By

When adopted children learn their parents who they grew up with aren’t their biological mom and dad, most feel the urge to learn more about their birth parents. No matter how great their life is, the thought they were given up for adoption is often something that troubles them, so searching for the truth comes as something natural.

Samantha Thomas was eighteen years old when she decided she wanted to track her biological parents. Her adoptive parents were very supportive but all they knew of her mom and dad was that they were from Chicago and that her dad’s name was probably Eddy. That wasn’t much, but at least she knew where to start from.

When she turned 20, Samantha got married and gave birth to two children, but the though of finding her birth parents was still alive, especially now that she learned what it felt like to be a mother. So, she continued with the search that led her to the information that her biological parents left her three things when they gave her up for adoption; a photo, a letter, and a blanket. The adoption attorney told her how the items had been destroyed, but the fact they left them there in the first place made Samantha believe they maybe wanted her to find them once she grows older.

The next step was getting to court and ask for her birth certificate. The judge refused her wish at first, but when she told them of the belongings her parents left to her when she was still a baby, they gave her her original birth certificate.

Samantha now knew her birth mother’s name was Valerie Lopez. From the hundreds of results that popped up, one woman with that name was related to someone called Eddy. Could she be her mother? Samantha was about to find that out. Although her hopes were high, she didn’t want to get overly excited because she knew that it could lead to a disappointment.

Samantha found this Valerie Lopez on Facebook and sent her a message. She explained she was adopted and was born on January 5th 1990 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She also wrote about the photo, the letter, and the blanket her biological parents left her. Finally, Samantha wrote how she really wanted to get in touch in case she was her mother. Once the message was sent, all this woman had to do was wait.

A couple of days passed by, but Samantha didn’t get a message. Then on the fourth day, Valerie answered back, writing she was Samantha’s mother. She couldn’t believe her daughter found her and said how she read the message with tears in her eyes. The decision of leaving Samantha was the biggest mistake of her life.

They stayed in touch and spoke of their life. Samantha told her biological mother about her adoptive parents and her children, and Valerie told her how she and her dad Eddy got married four years after they gave Samantha for adoption. They had three more children but divorced recently. Samantha was very happy to learn she had siblings and was looking forward to meeting them.

She contacted her father and Facetimed with her siblings. They were as excited to meet her in person as she was, and finally, on September 2nd, 2017, the family was reunited.

Even today, they are in touch and make sure they visit one another as often as possible.
