Caring for our newborn meant missing dinner—my husband didn’t save me a plate

Between changing diapers, breastfeeding her sweet bundle of joy, and soothing him to sleep, she could barely find the time to eat anything.

It was her mother-in-laws who was supposed to look after the dinner, and Jenna felt at least she wouldn’t spend much time in the kitchen. However, one night, as she put the baby to sleep and went downstairs, she noticed there wasn’t any food left for her.

Her MIL said, “Well, you didn’t come down, so we assumed you weren’t hungry.” These words cut deeper than Jenna’s actual hunger.

Things became worse turn when John didn’t react at his mom’s words. He demanded Jenna to clean the mess and wash the dishes, saying she wasn’t doing anything anyway.

Jenna was wounded so deep that she finally decided to confront John and his mother. But they accu:sed her of being lazy and started yelling at her.

Unable to tolerate how they tre:ated her, Jenna took some of her clothes, her baby, and went to her mother’s place.

Then, John called frequently her on the phone, demanding that she apologize to his mother. He wasn’t able to see the emotional toll his mother’s presence and his lack of support did Jenna.

She was heartbroken and couldn’t see a way out until she thought of contacting the one person in the family who was always very realistic and reasonable; her father-in-law.

After she contacted him, he was totally unaware of what was going on but was very supportive and told her to get ready because he was taking her back home.

When they arrived at Jenna’s place, they saw John and his mother watching TV together and laughing.

He turned to his wife and said, “It was enough. You did a lot of damage and it’s time you return home. You are no longer staying with John and Jenna.” The MIL didn’t object.

He then turned to John and said he should be more supportive of his wife who had only given birth to their son five weeks ago. John, ashamed, agreed.

Day by day, things seemed to chill out.

When the MIL visited, she was in deed helping around the house, and her visits were brief. John became more present and supportive, taking an active role in caring for their son and helping with household tasks.

Most Tattooed Man’ Shares What He Looked Like Without Ink, And You Better Sit Down

Tattoos considers as amazing tool to totally transform someone’s look. This is the reason it’s so intriguing to view the pre-inking photos of the world’s most inked individuals. The mom with over 800 tattoos, Australia’s most tattooed model, and the notorious “Black Alien” have already left us in awe.

However, the man known as “Britain’s most tattooed man” has since revealed an unrecognizable photo of himself from before he earned the title.

Known as the “King of Inkland King Body Art,” Matthew Whelan is more than just a body painter.

His unusual appearance has, however, been putting his health at risk.

He explains: “My transdermal implant (not micro dermal skin nip) surgical procedure is and has always been a 24/7 open wound and from time to time can bleed, get inflamed, scab, or seep plasma.”

“I don’t believe it to be an infection; however, the body is trying to heal an unwarranted hole punctured in it and a foreign object (a titanium disc and body jewellery), so it could just be the body mod version period just at that time of the month.”

“Jokes aside, ladies, I know some of you suffer really badly in those.”

“I will be OK, and if I’m not, I’ll go down in history like Jack Daniels, some monarchs from many centuries ago, and some other people dying from an unusual circumstance.”

However, it’s some recent throwback photos that the tattoo man shared on Instagramthat have tattoo enthusiasts enjoyable.

In one, he captions a picture of himself flexing his muscles with: “This is a throwback to the time of my skin only having one #tattoo. I was in better condition back then too and would have probably been on the wrestling team had we had one in high school.”

“Sporting off a British Bulldog on my right arm at the age of 16!”

One fan said, “Hardly recognised you lol!”

In another surprising before picture, he writes the caption, “WHO [duck]-ing HECK IS THIS?”

Famous Individual Shares Candid Insights About Oprah Winfrey’s Realities

Famous for her unfiltered and outspoken nature, Actress Rose McGowan recently made headlines for openly criticizing media mogul Oprah Winfrey on Twitter…

Actress Rose McGowan recently took to Twitter to criticize media mogul Oprah Winfrey in a message that has since gone viral, receiving thousands of shares and comments from supporters of both McGowan and Winfrey. The Hollywood actress exposed Oprah Winfrey on social media for her previous association with infamous Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, whom McGowan accused of grotesquely s*x:ual:ly assaulting her.

Especially among people who previously held Oprah in high esteem, the post in question sparked heated controversy on the internet. If what McGowan claims is true, then her narrative, which seemed to take a while to come, exposed Oprah in a way most Americans had never seen before.

Little was left to the imagination in the article that revealed McGowan’s true feelings about Oprah and what she decided to do with the influence she had amassed over the years.

McGowan wrote: “I’m glad she’s witnessing more and more of Oprah’s horrible truth. She’s not real, but I wish she was. She’s about supporting a corrupt power structure for her own benefit, from befriending Weinstein to abandoning and destroying Russell.” Simmon’s victims. She is completely fake. #lizard.”

About a year after Oprah stepped down from her role as executive producer of Russell Simmons’ #MeToo documentary, McGowan stepped in. At that time, Oprah stated her reason for leaving: “More work needs to be done on the film to clarify the full extent of what the victims endured, and it became clear that the filmmakers and I were not united in that creative vision. “

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter at the time, Oprah said she “definitely believes in and supports women” . Their stories deserve to be heard and told.

Unfortunately, Oprah has spoken to Weinstein in the past. In 2013, she starred in The Butler, a film distributed by the Weinstein Company. After actresses began coming forward as Weinstein’s victims, Oprah admitted that she had been “friendly with Harvey” before but claimed that she “didn’t know any of this was going on” and that she would have gone ahead if she had known he was. was a predator att:ack:ing women.

“Everybody has a story, so I believe this is a turning point. We’re going to miss this opportunity if we only make it about Harvey Weinstein, according to Oprah.”

**Weinstein is in prison for 23 years because of ra:p:e and s*xual abu:se.**

He was recently extradited to Los Angeles because local authorities want to charge him with other crimes that will require him to stand trial.

The California drama with reference to Gavin Newsome’s election has lately captivated McGowan . According to conservative Twitter sources, Newsome’s wife approached her and asked her to keep quiet.

In a surprising twist, Gavin Newsom’s California recall saga has become intertwined with McGowan’s. Some conservative sources on Twitter say Newsom’s wife reached out to her and asked her to keep quiet. This twist adds another layer of complexity to an already charged situation.

McGowan’s willingness to speak out against powerful figures, along with the ongoing controversy surrounding Weinstein and Oprah, shows the importance of transparency, accountability, and the need to support victims of a:bus:e. The debate sparked by her tweet continues to shed light on these crucial questions and is a reminder that no one, regardless of status, should be above the spotlight in the pursuit of justice and truth.

Trump Won’t Just Change Washington Politics — He’ll Change Life in the City

The incoming administration won’t just alter the federal workforce. It will touch the lives of everyone who lives in the district.

A person looks at election results on their phone.

“The people who work the gears of politics may soon find themselves buffeted by election results in ways that feel entirely new,” writes Michael Schaffer. | Jamie Kelter Davis/POLITICO

Donald Trump’s victory signals radical changes ahead for Washington, the capital city — but also for D.C., the home town.

After years of imagining themselves safely ensconced in a blue bubble, residents of the metropolis that houses the government could be looking at major economic dislocation, professional upheaval and the transformation of everything from city budgets to municipal abortion laws and even local public school curriculums — all as a result of the national election.

That represents a major break with tradition, and could have a huge personal impact on the capital’s regular citizens as well as its power-class insiders.

Candidates have forever vowed to transform how “Washington” functions. But for the most part, the way locals live, work and play doesn’t change much from administration to administration: The decadeslong boom that turned the capital region into the ultimate liberal metro area (and left four of the country’s six richest counties in the Washington suburbs) began under Reagan and trundled along even as the political pendulum swung back and forth.

Now, though, people who spend their days staffing the government, researching policy or lobbying decision-makers may find that their home lives are not so immune from politics after all. Trump II arrives in office with specific plans for remaking the bureaucracy, loud grievances against the local government and broad power over things like abortion rights — none of which existed when he first took over in 2017. In my conversations around town this week, ordinarily sanguine D.C. denizens found it a jarring realization.

Start with those homes. Washington has long lived under the assumption that it is recession-proof, thanks in large part to government jobs and federal contracting. Trump has sought to reclassify and possibly fire tens of thousands of federal workers, and relocate tens of thousands more to other parts of the country. On a civic level, that’s the equivalent of a few big factory closings. (About a quarter of the District’s 800,000 jobs are federal; there are many more around the region.)

Given that many locals now have the bulk of their wealth tied up in the once-affordable region’s hefty real estate prices, those are factory closings that could have a massive impact even on those whose jobs remain secure. When lots of your neighbors lose their jobs, it tends to whack property valuations.

Work, too, could change significantly. Trump’s efforts to strip civil service protections for chunks of the federal workforce — and related efforts like the Heritage Foundation’s recent campaign to access bureaucrats’ emails in order to hunt down insufficiently loyal workers — represent a big change in a culture that has historically prided itself for a kind of nerdy, dispassionate expertise.

White House suspicions of federal careerists are commonplace. But the idea of a system under which people could actually be bounced for political reasons represents a huge change. For that matter, the idea of a system where non-politicals can be mass-fired at all is radical: People who made careers working for Uncle Sam have long accepted the trade-off of job security in exchange for not getting to earn as much as top private-sector pros.

Whatever else it would do to public policy, the end of that bargain would change the meaning of work for huge numbers of people in and around Washington.

These big moves would probably lead to a political and legal fight. On a smaller level, the return of a Trump administration would likely upend the expectations some workers have developed over the last five years by ordering a much stricter work-from-home regime for 200,000 federal jobs currently located in the District. This longtime GOP cause would likely please the city administration, which has pushed return-to-office in the name of shoring up downtown businesses. But it would still mean an immediate and tangible change for federal workers.

The most jarring possible changes, though, might have to do with the local laws of the capital itself. Under the Nixon-era bill that established the city government, Congress is still allowed to pass city legislation whenever it wants. Historically, this has led to occasional bouts of grandstanding around hot-button issues like drug legalization, but it has rarely been a transformative power in a city whose local rules still look a lot like other blue areas. Few federal lawmakers want to be responsible for city hall tasks like gas-stove regulations.

Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez wins Washington state rematch

The first-term Democrat will return to Congress after defeating Joe Kent for the second time.

Gluesenkamp Perez’ Washington seat was a top target for Republicans, who hoped to win back the seat she flipped in 2022. Then-Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler received enormous backlash for voting to impeach then-President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, which resulted in her loss in the 2022 primary. Kent ran to the right, and voters reacted by flipping the district blue in the general election.

But Kent also had a history of controversial statements on issues like abortion, the 2020 election and Jan. 6. He, in turn, attacked Gluesenkamp Perez on the border and federal spending — working hard to link her to President Joe Biden’s less popular policies.

An elderly couple had just crawled into bed when the old man let

An elderly couple had just crawled into bed when the old man let out a loud fart and proudly declared, “Seven points! ”His wife, puzzled, rolled over and asked, “What are you talking about? ”

Not one to be left out of the fun, his wife waited a few minutes, then let out her own impressive fart and confidently announced, “Touchdown! Tie game!

” After a brief pause, the old man fired off another one and boasted, “Aha, 14 to 7!I’m back in the lead! ”

Determined to stay in the game, the wife followed up with another loud one and grinned, “Touchdown, tie game again! ” Then, with a small squeaker, she added, “Field goal!

I Denied My MIL Access to My Baby—So She Dared to “Teach Me a Lesson”

Postpartum sadness is more prevalent than the majority of us realize. According to research, around 80% of new parents experience it. A new mom named Gretchen is struggling to adapt to her new role, prompting her to request some time alone from her loved ones. However, her situation worsened when her in-laws showed up unannounced to visit the baby. She reached out to our editorial for guidance.

This is Gretchen’s letter:

I had my first baby 2 weeks ago. I’m overwhelmed and not in the mood to do anything, so my mom moved in to help me. I told my MIL, “Give my family some space now. You will meet the baby later.” She kept on calling every day, so I ended up saying, “I don’t care if it takes months. I’m not ready yet!” She was silent.

Yesterday, I was sleeping when my mom came to me in a panic. I woke up to my baby crying and my husband turned pale when he saw me in the living room. Horrified, I found out that 9 people from my husband’s family came over to our house, and nobody had told me anything. Turns out my husband was the one who had invited his mom, dad, siblings and even nephews and nieces

I confronted him, saying that he didn’t have the right to tell them to come over without having consulted with me first. He said, “I think you’re overreacting. It’s not like you’ve been asked to prepare food and host them for a few days.”

I felt completely strained and stressed out I saw my MIL with a victorious smile, as if she was happy that she taught me a lesson. Without saying a word, I took my purse and stormed out of my own house while still in my pajamas. Do you think I overreacted?

Pamela Price ousted as Alameda DA in latest loss for California progressives

Her defeat is yet another signal of voters’ swing toward tough-on-crime policies.

Alameda County voted to recall District Attorney Pamela Price from office, according to the Associated Press, in the latest blow to progressive crime policies in California.

Price is the second San Francisco Bay Area prosecutor to be ousted in the last two years after San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin as voter sentiment increasingly favors tough-on-crime policies. It’s also a stunning reversal for Price, who swept into office just two years ago on a platform of reducing sentencing and prosecuting more police officers.

Those who supported the recall, including Bay Area Rep. Eric Swalwell, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins and the Alameda County Prosecutors Association, argued Price’s progressive push for criminal justice reform was too lenient and failed to keep county residents safe.

Price and others who opposed the recall like state Sen. Nancy Skinner and Rep. Barbara Lee said the effort was undemocratic and politically motivated.

Price is the county’s first district attorney to be successfully recalled from office. The Alameda Board of Supervisors must appoint a replacement after she is removed from office who will serve until the next district attorney election is held in November 2026.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of a sweet angel

Ryleigh Hillcoat-Bee’s parents are devastated and outraged after learning that their three-year-old daughter’s life could potentially have been saved. Ryleigh suffered from rhabdomyolysis, a rare condition that breaks down muscle tissue, leading to potentially fatal complications. The disorder affects approximately one in 200,000 people in the UK. Ryleigh died just three months after being discharged from Blackpool Victoria Hospital, where she had been treated for five days.

A recent coroner’s inquest, led by Alan Wilson for Blackpool and Fylde, uncovered significant failures in Ryleigh’s care. According to Wilson, medical staff missed “red flags” in her condition, which, if properly addressed, might have led to a timely diagnosis. The coroner reported that doctors discharged Ryleigh despite her worsening mobility issues, which should have signaled a potential neuromuscular problem. Wilson criticized the decision to release her without further evaluation, describing the oversight as a missed opportunity to save the young girl’s life.

The hospital initially ran tests, and her blood results revealed abnormally high levels of Creatine Kinase, an enzyme associated with muscle damage or disease. Despite this key finding, doctors diagnosed Ryleigh with a chest infection or hepatitis, missing the signs of rhabdomyolysis. During her hospital stay, Ryleigh showed concerning symptoms—she was noticeably weak, slow, floppy, and lethargic—but these indicators were not sufficiently explored, leading to her premature discharge.

Medical negligence attorney Diane Rostron, who is representing Ryleigh’s family, emphasized that the hospital had been advised to consult with a neuromuscular specialist. According to Rostron, if Blackpool Victoria Hospital had sought specialist input, Ryleigh’s rhabdomyolysis could have been diagnosed, giving her family the chance to pursue further treatment options. Rostron voiced her disappointment, stating, “The hospital was given clear advice… to get specialist advice from a neuromuscular specialist.” She believes that had the correct steps been taken, Ryleigh’s family would have been aware of the condition affecting their daughter, potentially opening doors for intervention that could have saved her life.

The tragedy has left Ryleigh’s family and their community grappling with grief and questions. As they process this loss, the hope is that the findings of the inquest will help bring accountability and prevent similar cases from happening to others. The coroner’s request for evidence from Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust doctors highlights the need for a thorough investigation to understand the breakdown in Ryleigh’s care.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Ryleigh Hillcoat-Bee’s family. In the wake of this tragedy, we hope they may find solace and closure and that Ryleigh rests in peace.
