Sometimes, great art is accidental, what else can you say? You point and shoot your camera and you get something you totally weren’t expecting.

They’re really very remarkable.

Being single can be pretty lonely and sad on occasion, but look at it this way: think about all the poor folks who shacked up RIGHT BEFORE the worldwide lockdown and who now can’t stand each other and think they made the biggest mistake of their lives.
I’m doing just fine by myself on my couch, thank you very much…
Oh, also, I spend a big chunk of my free time crying on that couch…
Are you ready to laugh at some hilarious posts about being single?
Let’s get started!
All you can eat!
Best thing about being single: ordering pizza and not having to share

Being single makes me realize how pretty much everyone is getting cheated on.

I guess being single can be kind of a mixed bag. A lot of ups and downs…kind of sounds like being in a relationship…
What do you think? Is it good or bad?
Do you prefer to be single or to be paired up with someone?
Talk to us in the comments, we look forward to hearing from you.

Every kid is different, every family is unique, and parenting styles vary, but listen – there’s still much about the day-to-day life of parenting that looks similar for everyone.
Which is why all of the parents everywhere can relate to memes and moments like these 12 – just take a look and you’ll see what I mean!
It’s okay. Someday it will be your turn, Dad.

There are a lot of positives about being a parent in the age of the internet, which is good…because there are also more than a few downsides.
One of the very best things is how easily we can connect with other parents now, which not only helps us ask for advice and lean on stronger shoulders when we need them, but just makes us feel less alone.
And these 11 memes and moments are so universal that you’ll know for sure that someone else has already lived through the crazy moment you’re experience right now!
I know, I know, it’s all for the picture.

We’re going through something that most of us have never experienced in our lifetimes, and may never again. The inability to go about our daily lives as we once did, to see family and friends, to pull out our coping mechanisms in response to stress the way we normally would – it’s all taking a toll.
If your kids are a bit older, there’s a good chance that they’re able to express what they’re feeling, how they’re coping, and to ask for help if they need it.

If your kids are younger, don’t make the mistake of thinking that everything is fine because they don’t understand everything that’s happening and why, or because they lack the emotional and actual language to communicate it to you.
When times are stressful, here are a few questions that can help our younger kids be able to express their feelings.
- What did you learn about today?
- What is something interesting of funny you heard about today?
- What was the most fun thing you did today?
- What are you most looking forward to tomorrow?
- What was the toughest part of your day today?
- What was something you didn’t like about your day?
- What got in the way today of you having a fun day?
- What can we do together to make it better?
- I read something interesting today and wanted to know if you had a reaction to it?
While these are great questions, child psychologist Jerry Bubrick says that timing is everything when it comes to bringing them up – and no, bedtime isn’t best.
“Bedtime is not the right time. Kids are starting to wind down for the day. Anxious kids have more worries at night.
Don’t lead them down the path of more worry. And don’t talk to them about this when they first wake up.
Find a time, a neutral time, when there hasn’t been a big argument. Look for a calm moment.”
Maybe supper time, he says, or while taking a family walk.

If you’re knew to prodding your kids feelings, he suggests a game that he and his family play as a sort-of icebreaker.
“With my kids, I suggest a game:
Like a rose. …You start and model the game.
There are three components to the rose.
The petal: Tell me something you liked about today.
The thorn: Tell me something you didn’t like.
The bud: Tell me something you’re looking forward to in the future.”
If your kids are under five (or over but still have trouble articulating feelings) a visual chart can be helpful.
After all, “if you can name it, you can tame it.”
It’s important to model an appropriate response for your kids whenever possible, which means taking time to calm yourself down if you need to, and remind yourself that this will be over one day.

“We want to help kids stay in the moment. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the unknown.
All we know is what’s happening to us right now. We have each other. We’re connected to our friends.
Let’s focus on that. We’ll deal with tomorrow, tomorrow.”
An important reminder for everyone in these trying times, no matter our age.
Even if Scarlet O’Hara was a terrible person in a movie that perpetuates horribly inaccurate stereotypes of slavery and the American South, Vivian Leigh did get one thing right – tomorrow is another day.
