FlipboardAnd finally, new data from Nameberry says people in red states are giving their kids the classic Jewish name Cohen (sometimes with the spelling Kohen). Our <a href="https://flipboard.social/@CultureDesk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@CultureDesk</a> featured this Forward story by Benyamin Cohen and Mira Fox, who are trying to figure out why. Theories include that people are naming their children after the directing duo the Coen brothers, or that it’s a co-opting by Christians of Jewish traditions. Says Benyamin: “I think it’s clever to give pets human names. We have chickens and each one is named after an NPR broadcaster. We have Terry Gross, Yuki Noguchi, Nina Totenberg and so on. We’re actually on our third Melissa Block. The first two, alas, are in chicken heaven now.” Mira replies: “And they all, of course, have your last name.” Benyamin: “Yes, yes. We call them the Co-Hens. I wonder what Nameberry would think of that.”<a href="https://forward.com/culture/707893/kohen-mira-baby-name-popularity/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://forward.com/culture/707893/kohen-mira-baby-name-popularity/</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Culture</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Lifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lifestyle</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Names" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Names</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Judaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Judaism</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Lifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lifestyle</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Parenting</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/RedStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RedStates</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Christianity</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Newstodon</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NewstodonFriday</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FollowFriday</a>

MichaelThe insistence of schools and doctors that parenting is a women’s task is driving me mad!Just this week I've had to fight with<ul><li>The school when they insisted talking to my OH about picking up the kid who was sick, despite having told them dozens of times that I should be the main emergency contact.</li><li>The GP when I requested an appointment for our newborn, and gave them my phone number to call, yet they call my wife rather than myself. My apparently my wife told them to hang up and dial my number, but they never did, so I had to call them several hours later to chase this up.</li><li>The health visitors who insisted they cannot talk to me (baby's dad!) due to GDPR.</li></ul>This is all insane! Is it so unthinkable to you all that dad's are involved in their kids' upbringing?!<a href="https://mstdn.thms.uk/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#parenting</a>

Knee NeartThere is nothing in the world funnier for me right now than bubs' apparent sudden decision that it's time to learn to crawl. He's halfway there, to be fair, he can get his knees up under himself, butt in the air, push with his feet.But the arms. Classic t-rex shit. Massive head. Tiny arms.His arms are just splayed like a Warner Bros character has landed and embedded themselves in the ground. His face is extremely planted. He's squeaking, squawking, occasionally screaming, but absolutely committed.The next twenty minutes is him planting his face deeper while pushing with all his might with his feet. Squeaking, squawking Heaving, grunting Struggling, strugglingEnough! I roll him over, I start to sing his favourite song - nope. Like a magnet, he rolls back to his belly, arms propping his head up like a seal, til he sees a toy in front of him. His eyes light up, he reaches out... His head is no longer supported and splats. Nevermind, his legs are good for it, the pushing and heaving begins again as his face smushes and squawks<a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#parenting</a>

MDMRNOkay, starting this morning I'm breaking my long running thread of morning songs I wake up to. My understanding is that long threads throw off timelines when they pop back in and, especially with a daily update, that's going to be annoying to others - so for others I'll stop with that.I'm still using my hashtag so I can find 'em later.I woke up this morning with some kid's music playing in my head. By the time I got into the shower, I had forgotten it, but it was a common song on Barney back in the 90s. Goodness, this is going to bug me if I can't remember it later...<a href="https://urusai.social/tags/AMSongInMyHead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AMSongInMyHead</a> <a href="https://urusai.social/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://urusai.social/tags/Parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Parenting</a>
