People Share How Obviously the Family Genes Passed on to Them

Family genetics sure are interesting, aren’t they? Some people don’t look like their ancestors, some kind of do, and some are complete spitting images of their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.

A recent thread on Twitter saw a lot of people showing photos of themselves and other family members side-by-side and the likenesses are pretty undeniable.

These people are definitely chips off the old block!

This post got the ball rolling.

Let’s take a look at the photos that people shared on Twitter!

1. You and your mom.

Those are great photos!

2. Side-by-side.

I see it!

3. An oldie but a goodie.

Dad and his daughter.

4. I love that old photo.

They have matching smiles!

5. I can see it in the eyes.

They both look very mischievous.

6. A generational thing.

How nice is this one?

7. They look EXACTLY alike.

Some good-looking ladies!

8. It’s all in the face.

You can tell that they’re kin.

9. Smiling faces.

It gets passed down.

10. I would say so, too.

No doubt about it.

11. Sister, sister.

Look at these two!

12. Going wayyyy back.

Definitely your ancestor.

13. Passing down those genes.

And that smile!

Daughters Recreated Their Moms’ Looks and the Results Are Pretty Great

It’s fun to dig through old photos of our parents to see what they were like before we came along or when we were too young to remember what was going on around us.

These women tried to bring it back to the old days by recreating the look of their moms in old photos and I think it’s safe to say they crushed it.

Are you ready for these pics?

Let’s take a look!

1. Back to those teen days.

Nice work!

2. Both of them with their babies.

Different kinds of babies, but still…

3. Bored, so why the heck not?

A lot of time to go through old photos right now, that’s for sure.

4. Going way back to 1989.

I think it’s safe to say she did a good job.

5. I love this one!

Mom looks very late 1980s or early 1990s.

6. All synced up.

A perfect recreation.

7. All the little details.

Really paid attention for this one.

8. A very cool photo.

And you pulled it off wonderfully!

9. You did a real bang-up job.

A great eye…

10. I love that old phone.

A spitting image of Mom.

11. Hard at work.

You can tell they’re both very studious.

12. Happy Mother’s Day!

Had to dig out the same exact clothes to pull this photo off.

Those ladies all really nailed it, don’t you think?

How about you?

Have you ever tried to recreate your mom’s look?

If so, please share the photos with us in the comment.

Let’s see what ya got!

This is Why Every Kid Should Be an Outdoor Kid

There’s a certain nostalgia many of us have regarding our childhoods and the outdoors. Depending on our ages, we might have walked to and from school every day, played outside with our friends in the summer until the street lights came on, or wandered alone on hikes through the woods and gone fishing in the streams and pools we came upon along the way.

Some people love the outdoors and make it a point to spend time in nature for a lifetime, while others may gravitate toward a more indoor lifestyle. Kids, though, shouldn’t have the option, according to experts.

Image Credit: Pexels

Studies suggest that kids who play outside and who experience landscapes and wilderness experience mood, cognitive, health and longevity benefits. Not only that, but the rough-and-tumble children who scrape up their knees or slip around in the mud? They get higher grades in school, experience lower levels of stress, and grow up caring more about conserving the environment.

Jennifer Bristol of Texas Children in Nature, is one among many experts urging parents to get their kids outside.

“Children who learn and play in nature are healthier, happier and smarter. They perform better in school, they have higher levels of self discipline, they are more cooperative with others, better problem solvers, more creative, feel more connected with nature, and become tomorrow’s conservation stewards.”

If you’re curious why so many people feel at home in, or rejuvenated by, nature, biologist E.O. Wilson has a theory known as the Biophilia Hypothesis. It rests on the idea that, before supermarkets and cities existed, people who tracked animals, ate wild flora and fauna, and were able to find clean sources of water were the most likely to survive.

Image Credit: Pexels

“It would be therefore quite extraordinary to find that all learning rules related to that world have been erased in a few thousand years, even in the tiny minority of peoples who have existed for more than one or two generations in wholly urban environments.”

Modern scientists like Richard Mitchell, an epidemiologist, agree that our bodies are pre-programmed to reward us to staying attuned to our natural habitats – and that children feel this pull more acutely.

“For kids, nature is just an amazing playground. It’s a fantastic place to discover how the world works, bounce around on tree branches, play around in mud. All of those sensory stimulations that we think are good for development.”

Mitchell also points out that studies have long suggested that our brains respond to nature by muting our stress responses – decreasing the concentration of stress hormones circulating in our bodies and lowering our blood pressure. Children who spend significant time outdoors are better able to pay attention in class and score higher on standardized tests.

One 2005 study even found that at-risk youth experienced a 27% increase in better classroom behavior and mastery of scientific concepts after a week of outdoor education.

Other benefits include improved social skills and lowered obesity rates.

A 2008 study done by Mitchell and his colleagues also revealed that low-income individuals who lived in neighborhoods with ample green space were healthier and lived longer than their more urban counterparts.

Mitchell himself, though, cautions against seeing nature as a miracle cure.

Image Credit: Pexels

“Obviously there are lots of things that drive mental and physical health. Green spaces are possibly important; one influence among many.”

There are also other factors to consider, like race and class, as people with privilege tend to have more spare time on their hands, and also fear being out in public spaces less.

If you’re wondering whether having your kids play in the backyard will reap as many benefits as a family walk, or whether a hike in the desert helps as much as a day in the mountains or at the beach, well, scientists aren’t exactly sure.

Basically, there’s no standard definition of what constitutes “nature,” but Mitchell thinks it can mean different things to different people.

Image Credit: Pexels

He says,

“The important thing is that it’s vegetated, not built-on.

For kids in particular, it’s important that there’s space to run and play. In the adult world, there’s evidence that trees are important.”

Science suggests that there’s really no such thing as an “indoor kid,” and that most children want to get outside and go for a walk or a hike if they’re given a small push.

So yes, reading is good and there are also benefits to all kids of indoor play – but science believes that none of it is a substitute for spending time in the great outdoors.

Get our your calendar and pencil in some family time in the woods along with everything else. It definitely seems as if it will be worth it, for everyone.

Teen’s TikTok of Coming out to Her Mom Is Totally Heartwarming

As a cisgender white female, I can only imagine the fear and trepidation that goes into telling the people you love that you’re not straight. You must fear that they will see you differently, that they will love you differently, that they won’t support you and they won’t even try to understand.

I fear that too many kids get those exact, soul-crushing responses from their parents, too, which is what makes this TikTok of Catherine-Sofia Dols coming out to her mother all the more precious.

Catherine, a North Carolina high school student, came out to her mom as gay with a batch of cupcakes that read “I like girls.”

She has to prod her mother to read them, but once she does, her reaction is first “I kind of knew that,” before hugging her daughter and then clarifying in a totally adorable mom way “you mean sexually?”

@catherinesofia3945

she really said “sexually…???” anywho i came out to my mom today with cupcakes #fyp

♬ original sound – catherinesofia3945

The brief but heartwarming reaction – her mother just shrugged and went about her business – has been viewed more than 3 million times.

Catherine-Sofia said that sharing the moment with the world turned out to be great because of all of the positivity she got in return.

She told Buzzfeed,

“A lot of the comments were of people telling me that they wish their parents would react the way my mom dad, and it really saddens me to know that there are kids out there or even adults out there who get disowned from their own family.”

It can be disheartening for LGBTQ kids and allies alike to think that children are being shunned for trusting their parents with their most authentic selves.

Here’s hoping that, as old bigotries die and younger parents move up through the ranks, more kids will feel loved, seen, and supported the way Catherine-Sofia does every day.

Parents Who Aren’t Afraid to Make Fun of Their Teenagers

Raising kids is tough, and I’ve gotta say, I’m looking forward to the day they start to understand sarcasm. Which I know doesn’t mean they’re going to appreciate how hilarious I am, but you know. It’s a start.

Parenting teens is a whole new ball game all over again (I kind of feel like this is probably true of every age and stage), but at least you can make fun of them and embarrass them and no one thinks your a bad parent.

Something these 13 parents are taking advantage of to the hilt, and I am totally here for it.

13. One of the many reasons it’s nice to have a dog.

But maybe not a puppy because finally you won’t be cleaning up someone’s pee.

12. I assume this is literally any wine.

Unless it does not contain alcohol, of course.

11. It’s a silent struggle.

Except for the slamming doors, ofc.

10. See also: you look really nice today!

Seriously just tell me what you did or what you want.

9. Yeah, you might want to check that out.

Privacy schmivacy.

8. The next thing you know they’ll be expecting turndown service.

Or putting out a “Do Not Disturb” sign.

7. Yes, only with REAL curse words.

Be afraid of your Gen X parents, kids.

6. Or that might once have been a sandwich.

Also, I’ve found all of the spoons.

5. It’s all in the eye of the beholder.

So you’re probably just as awesome as you always were.

4. It’s all in the perspective.

And there are worse things to be than a dog, tbh.

3. This is really spectacular.

10/10 hope I can do as well one day.

2. It’s got a nice ring to it.

Because it’s real, I think.

1. Honestly, right now it could be either.

More likely both.

I’m going to need more posts like this immediately!

Do you and your teen have this kind of relationship? I hope I do with mine in a few years!

A Couple Turns Memorable Moments with Their Baby Into Great Comics

One of Those Days is a web comic created by married couple Yehuda and Maya Devir of Tel Aviv, Israel. They’re both artists, though its unclear if they both contribute to the actual artwork of the comic, or if it’s solely inked by Yehuda (aka “Jude”.) Either way, the comic has a long history of entertaining and inspiring through its humorous and heartwarming depictions of the tiny, meaningful moments of married life.

It has amassed quite an audience, with 5.5 million followers on Instagram, as well as lots of accolades and award nominations:

But the central theme of the comic has changed lately due to a corresponding change in their own lives: they’re now parents! And their depictions of life with their daughter Ariel are incredibly relatable to anybody with kids.

15. Pain and love

It’s a magical, messy moment.

14. A rush of affection

She’s just got a funny way of showing it.

13. Spooky times

Who doesn’t love a first Halloween?

12. Time apart

The separation anxiety is real.

View this post on Instagram

I miss you already…???? If I thought giving birth was the hardest thing a woman had to go through in her life then I was wrong! Separating a woman from her baby is a million times harder. I thank every day that we have been blessed with a job we enjoy and make millions of people happy with us, but the work requires us to travel quite a bit, which means we have to leave Ariel in the hands of her loving grandmothers. Maya is a true hero the way she flies off for work every time despite the difficulty in parting from Ariel and manages to put her future ahead of her own personal struggle. She keeps saying that separating from Ariel is the hardest thing she's ever experienced, and it doesn't get easier from time to time, even though it makes sense it will. So, there is no sense in parenting… Only what the heart feels. Being a career person while raising a family is perhaps one of the most difficult challenges we would have to face in life. I don't know what we would do without both of our amazing mothers. I guess mother love to her child has no expiration date.

Funny Kids Who Obviously Have No Filter

If you spend enough time around kids you’ll learn one thing very quickly: they have no filter and they say things that sometimes catch adults completely off guard.

But, hey, it’s what kids do, right?

You might say they just don’t know any better, but maybe they DO know better and they just don’t care because they are little devils.

The jury is still out on that one…

Let’s take a look at funny kids who have ZERO FILTER.

1. The kid is right in this case…

All because of me…

2. Oh, gross!

You should’ve just said 100% MEAT.

3. That kid has a sick sense of humor.

But maybe they got it from you?

4. A lot of yelling in this household.

You need to get them moving, right?

5. Deny, deny, deny.

Never admit your guilt! That’s a good life lesson.

6. You need to look elsewhere.

I’m not a non-stop cuddle machine, mom.

7. Didn’t need to hear that one.

Like I said, NO FILTER.

8. Hahahaha. That’s good.

Even the kids know…

9. Teaching Dad a lesson.

You won’t make that mistake again, will you?

10. Not my department.

This kid is going places!

11. Brutally honest.

This is kind of amazing.

12. Ouch…a sick burn.

Sometimes, kids can really cut deep.

13. Best/Worst Dad Ever!

A big blow to the ego.

Kids just say the darndest things, don’t they?

How adorable! How sweet! How precious!

Or something like that…I don’t know…

Have your kids ever said totally hilarious/ridiculous/embarrassing things that took you by surprise?

If so, please tell us about it in the comments!

Your Parents Gave You the Sex Talk. Now It’s Time for You to Give Them the Death Talk.

A talk about the birds and the bees is a moment that no parent looks forward to when they bring a precious innocent baby home from the hospital. If the kid knew what was coming, they wouldn’t be looking forward to it, either.

Talking about sex, puberty, masturbation, pregnancy, STDs, and all the rest with your kid (or your mom and dad) is super uncomfortable, but we do it, because we don’t want anyone to be unprepared when and if the moment arises.

We want to be on the same page, to know that our kids understand the basics and learn the truth – not whatever their friends or the internet are saying – so they’re not blindsided by a pregnancy or disease.

Your parents (should have) ignored all of the discomfort and gone ahead with a talk they knew no one was going to like because they knew it was the best thing for everyone in the long run.

Now, experts say you’ve got to return the favor and push a talk about another uncomfortable topic – the death talk.

No one likes to think about losing their parents, and parents don’t want to think too much about leaving this world for whatever comes next. That said, there are many arguments for not pushing it off another day – namely that not one of us knows when our last day is going to be.

And if you’re avoiding the talk because you think your parents have already figured everything out, the truth is, many people haven’t. The best time to do it, according to Paul Malley, President of Aging with Dignity, is when everyone is still healthy.

⠀ ? #DeathPositiveMoment for Today ?⠀ ⠀ The novel coronavirus calls out just how much we need to have conversations about end-of-life. ⠀ ⠀ End-of-life planning is more than merely determining what kind of care you want in your final days. It's about making personal choices as to who you want with you when the time comes and what will bring you and your family comfort and ☮. ⠀ ⠀ Creating a living will doesn't require lots of ⌚ and ?. It can be done at home, snuggled on the couch with your loved ones. This work begins with self-reflection about what is important to you, which ultimately translates into a living will for the body, mind, and soul. ⠀ ⠀ Five Wishes is an at-? tool that collects your end-of-life wishes in a single place. It is legally binding in ALL but 8 states. You can complete it online or order a hard copy. The template is $5, and it's simply written with no legalese. ⠀ ⠀ ? Start the conversation and download your template at fivewishes.org ?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #TheStyxChyx #LetsTalkDying #BringDeathtoLife #DeathPositive #FiveWishes #EndofLifePlanning #EOL #Planning #LivingWill #AdvanceDirective

A post shared by The Styx Chyx (@thestyxchyx) on

“There are families that are being put on the spot with a phone call from an emergency room or an ICU and their loved one can’t communicate anymore. And then they’re left to guess.”

This advice also applies to illness that can crop up as parents age, like dementia and Alzheimers, that make it hard for them to tell you how exactly they want the end of their life to work.

Hashing things out ahead of time can not only ensure your parent or loved one is treated the way they want to be, but it can also ease tensions between family members who might not agree with each other on how to proceed.

“There is never the question ‘Is this what they would want?’” says Sarah Roffee, co-founder of Kind Minds Therapy. “Because it’s already out in the open and they have confirmed with you directly that these are your wishes.”

If you’re convinced that you need to have this talk with your parents, but aren’t sure where to start, many experts recommend the Five Wishes program. It was created in 1996 and helps families create a living will, power of attorney, and resolve issues related to comfort and religion.

It’s basically a five-step checklist you can use to begin the conversation and resolve the big questions.

Wish 1:
The Person I Want to Make Care Decisions for Me When I Can’t

Wish 2:
The Kind of Medical Treatment I want or Don’t Want

Wish 3:
How Comfortable I Want to Be

Wish 4:
How I Want People to Treat Me

Wish 5:
What I Want My Loved Ones to Know

Malley says that “the whole idea with five wishes is that it keeps the discussions and the documentation simple and it’s intended for families to be able to use on their own. So you don’t have to consult with an outside expert. You are the expert on what’s important to you and to your family.”

He has some advice on broaching the subject, too, and advises starting with how much you love and care about your parent, and that you want to make sure they’re taken care of as they want to be in the future.

“Start with a simple statement of, ‘I want to be a good son or daughter to you, mom or dad, and I want to make the right decisions for you. So help me to understand what’s important to you.”

The Five Wishes program attempts to take things out of legal language and translate it into language any family can understand. Malley and the others who created it hope that their list of wishes can make this uncomfortable but necessary talk easier on everyone, without losing the focus on what’s important.

“There’s a message of empowerment to the person who’s filling it out. And also a message of instruction to the family. Because most of us don’t have experience being at the bedside of somebody who’s sick. We all want to do the right things, but most of us don’t know what the right things are. And when a family completes Five Wishes together, they have practical things that they can do for one another to show them that they are loved.”

Also, you know. You’ve probably got kids of your own, now, so this will be good practice for being on the opposite side of the sex talk.

Just know that your parents love you, you love them, and open lines of communication have always been the best way to get through all of the tough stuff.

Families That Were Total Relationship Dealbreakers for People

When you’ve been dating someone for a while, at some point you will meet each other’s families. It’s usually not a huge deal (but bonus points if you really like them), but apparently sometimes it’s a total turnoff.

I would never have thought it, but these 12 stories totally changed my mind – I wouldn’t have stayed in these relationships either!

12. There’s definitely something not right there.

“I had a boyfriend who had a creepy habit of flirting with his mother. His mother was equally odd and made loud comments about my sex life with her son. She’d also ring me up to nag me into moving in with him. She was, in all honesty, one of the reasons I broke off the relationship.”

11. Oh my god, she was dating George Costanza!

“My ex’s family had this tradition of insulting the birthday boy/girl while they sat silently eating a slice of cake. The rules were you could say anything and they just had to take it. When it was my ex’s sister’s birthday, they said really awful things to her, then turned to me — as I sat there, shocked — and said, ‘Don’t you have anything to add? Play the game with us!’

I was like, ‘Nah, man. I just met all of you yesterday.’ I knew then that I never wanted to celebrate my birthday with them because it would end with me in tears. Luckily, he dumped me in front of my whole family about three months later (during our Christmas party!).”

10. That’s a double NO right there.

“I was about to have sex with a guy when his mother walked into his place to pick up his laundry.”

9. I’ve gotta think this was a sign.

“My ex left my birthday party because his mom called him and told him she wanted a pizza. He didn’t come back, either, even though he lived less than 10 minutes away.”

8. Definitely an awkward situation to walk into.

“This guy brought me home to meet his parents, but I wasn’t aware that they weren’t on board with his orientation. He introduced me to his mom, who stared daggers at me, as if to say, ‘Why the hell are you with my son?!’

When we went to his room to hang out, I could see he was texting his mom. They were texting in Spanish, which I can read, and she was pissed: ‘I forbid this. I am your mother!’”

7. I’m sorry, what was that?

“My boyfriend’s mom decided I was a witch because I gave him one of those cute little ‘voodoo’ dolls that were popular a while back. (It was themed for luck on exams because he was nervous about midterms.)

Apparently, the logical response to your son dating a witch was to have a family friend ceremoniously burn chicken bones and then stash them around your kid’s dorm to get rid of the girlfriend. I guess technically it worked?”

6. What kind of grown woman does this?

“My high school boyfriend’s mother referred to me as his ‘little whore.’ First of all — ew, slut shaming — but he was also the first boy I ever kissed and I was a virgin, so it was all very confusing.” 

5. That sounds unsanitary.

“They were massive hoarders! They had magazines piled up in their living room from 15 years before, and when they moved, they filled an ENTIRE 18-foot moving truck, four cars, and a pickup truck with their junk.

When I tried to convince them to get rid of some
old broken furniture, his dad snapped at me. They were convinced that when they died, their kids would be able to sell all the stuff and make a huge chunk of money.”

4. I can see how that happened.

 “I once dated a 25-year-old guy who told me that he enjoyed cuddling in bed with his 23-year-old sister. I always tried to forget it, but I never really could. It just spoiled the relationship for me.” 

3. She didn’t even feel bad. That’s diabolical.

“My partner’s mum was bitching about me on Facebook and didn’t realize I could see it. When I called her out on it, she said, ‘Oh well, shit happens.’” 

2. How does that even work?

“My ex’s mom reported me to the police for ‘kidnapping’ him when he came to my house once.” 

1. This just keeps getting worse.

“I once went on a couple dates with a guy on my block who I found out lived in a tiny studio apartment the size of a small single-car garage with his mom. He was 25 and they shared a bed.”

People are so awful, truly. I think I can never be more stunned by it, and then…

Has this ever happened to you?
