During the pandemic‚ rock-bottom interest rates and a desire for more space drove a rapid and stunning rise in housing prices. While prices have moderated from their peak‚ they have not done so nearly enough to make up for the more than doubling of borrowing costs. President Biden says he has a solution‚ but like most forms of government interference‚ it would only make the problem worse. During the State of the Union address‚ Biden unveiled a plan to give homebuyers $400 per month...

Four years ago‚ Donald Trump declared that Joe Biden wants to “destroy our suburbs.” “Your home will go down in value and crime rates will rapidly rise‚” Trump warned. “People have worked all their lives to get into a community‚ and now they're going to watch it go to hell.” That hasn’t happened‚ yet. But a new Biden policy proposal on affordable housing—“what could be an aggressive federal intervention in local politics‚” according to The New York Times—threatens to reignite the...

Economists in the Biden administration are calling for more aggressive federal action to drive down costs for home buyers and renters‚ taking aim at one of the biggest economic challenges facing President Biden as he runs for re-election. The policy proposals in a White House report being released on Thursday include what could be an aggressive federal intervention in local politics‚ which often dictates where homes are built and who can occupy them. The administration is backing a plan to...

If you're a parent you're likely in one of two categories: parents who have never heard of pinworms or parents who shuttered at the headline. Parents are not really given any sort of warning for all of the eyebrow raising situations that occur in childhood and one dad has found out that there was a lot left out of that non-existent parenting handbook.Justin‚ a dad that runs the TikTok page drumbeatlane took to social media to tell the world of the current nightmare fuel parenting situation he was experiencing. He's also doing parents on social media a solid by giving them a heads up on the disturbing secret plaguing the parenting world–pinworms. The viral video starts out with no trigger warning before he says though clenched teeth‚ "my son has worms in his anus." Yeah‚ you read that right. It's a thing. A slightly terrifying but totally normal thing."No one tells you about this stuff when you're thinking about being a parent but apparently it's like super normal for a child to just have worms in his booty hole‚" Justin says.Dr. Cerissa Key‚ a pediatrician‚ chimed in on Justin's disturbing revelation and assured him and every parent watching that pinworms are a common thing that happens in young children. But she also dropped some info that other's including Justin may not have been ready to hear. "Justin‚ sir. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But if your son has worms in his booty hole‚ sir‚ politely and respectfully‚ you also have worms in your booty hole‚" Key reveals. Key goes on to explain that kids are "disgusting" and don't wash their hands well so pinworms spread easily if a child at school or daycare has them. She advises that parents stock up on the chalky banana flavored medication that clears them up and to wash everything on hot while being sure to vacuum your floors well. @drumbeatlane Parenting truly is just one surprise after another. But the biggest surprise to me every time something crazy happens is that it is usually super common‚ just no one talks about it. So I’m warning you. Your child might get worms in their anus. #justinkellough #dadsoftiktok #parentsoftiktok #momsoftiktok #parentingadvice #parenting @Justin People in the comment section of both videos were horrified that this was an actual thing while others commiserated with the stressed dad. "I have no kids and now I'm paranoid I have pinworms with no symptoms‚" one person writes."I've raised 4 kids and never had this happen. Tomorrow this will be my entry on my gratitude journal‚" a mom confesses. "Do I have kids? No...Do I even work around kids? Also no...do I still have the urge to take this medicine just in case anyways? 100000%‚" someone says. @therealdrkey #stitch with @Justin Allllll about pinworms! It your kid has them‚ YOU have them. 😩 #pinworms #pinworm #pediatrician #momlife #itchybottom #itchyvulva #pinwormssuck #parenting Not everyone was stressed‚ some were thankful for the information. "Thank you! We haven't experienced pinworms yet‚ but super informative and helps to make parenting normalized‚" another commenter writes.Key suggests that if your child has pinworms that the entire family should take a dose of the medication two weeks apart to make sure any left over newly hatched eggs are also killed. While you may not have been warned about pinworms‚ no one ever said parenting would be glamorous. It just seems people weren't prepared for how unglamorous it could get.

The debate as to whether or not parents should supply classroom supplies is not new. But as prices continue to rise‚ parents are growing more baffled as to how they can be expected by teachers to provide all the various glue sticks‚ colored pencils‚ rulers and other various items the incoming students might need. What’s even more perplexing‚ however‚ is penalizing the children of parents who won’t (or can’t) provide them.This was the case for Shanitta Nicole‚ who discovered her son received a zero grade in his new school for not bringing school supplies for the entire classroom.Nicole was especially surprised by this reaction since she had already gone through the effort of making sure her son had every supply he needed from the school’s list‚ which was slightly different than the one they previously had. And yet‚ the 7th grade teacher informed her son that he was still expected to provide for the classroom‚ not just himself. And‚ thus‚ a zero grade‚ for failing the assignment‚ so to speak. Even though Nicole thought the rule was “weird‚” she went out and bought the bulk items‚ which included tissues‚ Clorox wipes‚ hand sanitizer‚ pencils‚ Expo markers‚ and red pens.And yet‚ the next week—her son still has a zero. Concerned‚ Nicole emailed her son’s teacher. “I’m like‚ ‘hey…my student has a 83 in the class and everything else in the class is 100s and 98s and he still has a zero for something called ‘classroom supplies.’” she said in a video. “‘We bought the supplies anyways‚ but I don't feel like it's the parents' responsibility to supply your classroom. And I definitely don't think it's appropriate to assign a grade to students based off of whether or not they've supplied your class with supplies. That doesn't make any sense.’” @shanittanicole Am I doing too much? #fyp #school ♬ original sound - Shanitta Nicolee 💖 And while Nicole’s email did get the teacher to reconcile the grade‚ there was no mention to her other concern regarding the responsibility for parents to provide the entire class with supplies. “So‚ I emailed the principal because I just‚ I might be extra‚ but I just want to see what's going on. Why do I have to buy supplies for the classroom?” the frustrated mom concluded. Nicole’s video quickly went viral on TikTok‚ and several weighed in to agree that the teacher’s actions were misguided. “That is so unfair!! Especially for the kids whose parents CANT afford groceries let alone classroom supplies‚” one user wrote. Another added‚ “You are not wrong. It is 100% ok for [the teacher] to ask for supplies‚ but mandate it for a grade? Absolutely not.”And this point is truly what Nicole took umbrage with‚ as she noted several times in the comments. It has less to do with being asked to help and more to do with her son’s grade depending on it. In a follow-up video‚ Nicole shared that the school principal did end up reaching out‚ notifying her that while‚ yes‚ teachers are allowed to ask for donations‚ it should never be mandated. @shanittanicole Replying to @yafavv._.dancer😍😘💞😍😍💞 Graded Supplies Update #fyp #school ♬ original sound - Shanitta Nicolee 💖 “What the teacher was trying to accomplish‚ but it definitely wasn't appropriate‚” the principal told Nicole. While the teacher might have not handled this situation in the best way‚ it goes without saying that this is a larger systemic issue—one that isn’t exactly fair to parents‚ teachers and students alike. Most public school teachers spend a significant amount of their own money on classroom supplies‚ to an average of $673 per year‚ according to a recent survey of more than 1‚100 educators by the Association of American Educators (AAE). That number only goes up for teachers in high poverty schools.At the same time‚ according to a 2022 survey with Savings.com‚ the typical parent also spends nearly $600 on school supplies. Plus things like clothes‚ backpacks‚ haircuts etc. In the grand scheme of things‚ there’s no use placing full responsibility or blame onto teachers or parents. Because either way‚ students get caught in the crossfire. This is clearly a universal burden that needs attention. This article originally appeared on 10.5.23

If there's any dog breed that encapsulates "good doggo" energy‚ it's the Golden Retriever. Friendly‚ gentle‚ good-natured and oh-so-affectionate‚ Goldens have come by their reputation honestly. Even "I'm not a dog person" people tend to find themselves taken by Golden Retrievers‚ and a post on TikTok demonstrates why.The video shared by @hugoandursula is captioned "my dog getting cuddles from strangers on the train‚" and that's exactly what it shows in the most adorable montage ever. In clip after clip‚ the sweet pup snuggles into unsuspecting train passengers‚ winning hearts and evoking "awwwws" left and right. (If you're on the fence about getting a dog‚ be careful watching this video because it will catapult you right over the edge.) @hugoandursula Melts my heart 🥰🥰🥰🥰 #goldenretriever The video has been shared multiple times since it was first posted in January of 2023‚ and every time‚ people can't get enough of it. In March of 2024‚ it was posted in the r/mademesmile subreddit‚ and people poured all the Golden Retriever love into the comments. "Golden's love attention.. our Daisy would politely walk around the benches at softball and stop for anyone who expressed an interest in petting her. She was never rude‚ just wanted to meet new people and show some love while getting some." – michaeldpj"They are the most 'hi i’m in the room look at me i'm here' dogs i’ve ever met." – botjstn"I would ride in trains much more often if I was guaranteed to see an adorably squashed doggy nose in front of me. It's delightful." – Designer-Command1417"The look on the woman's face when the dog snuggles up her is worth a billion dollars!" – Ok-Sale-8105Reddit users were also thrilled when a "Schnoodle" appeared in the comments. A Schnoodle on social media is a cheesily heartwarming poem from u/schnoodledoodledo‚ written from the point-of-view of an animal‚ and the Schnoodle for our Golden train-riding friend here is perfectly fitting. Look at me - the Traveler! i get to come alongbeing with my human is the place that i belong ;@)am friendly with the passengers‚ n try n spread the JoY!(they’re frens i haven’t met yet‚n they tell me i’m Good Boy)so i will find an empty seat‚ n sit with them awhilei get aLot of scritches‚ n i leave them with a smileam tired from the journey‚ but i know i did my partto leave a golden memoryinside their human heart"FRESHEST SCHNOODLE!!" wrote one commenter‚ followed by "OMG a schnoodle!! I haven’t seen one in over a year. I thought they had disappeared! This has made my day!" and "Starting the day with a fresh schnoodle for brunch is highly recommended!!!" For an extended version of one of these good doggo love fests‚ check out another video from @hugoandursula: @hugoandursula Hux making more friends..🥺💕 Again‚ so much love in the comments. "Are you telling me a stranger got on the train and received all this love for free?!?!" – kirstygu"I don’t care where that train is going I’m buying a ticket 🥺" – Angharad"Did he cry before parting ways? I would be bawling" – Melanin. Queen"I've never been more jealous of a person before in my life." – Carrie ThompsonOne thing's for certain—if the train system wants to encourage more riders‚ all they need to do is get a Golden Retriever to welcome their passengers. They'd fill up those seats in no time.
