Chelsea Houska: Here’s How I’m Failing as a Parent!

There are some Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 stars who can’t help but rub you the wrong way. But you know what? Chelsea Houska can be kind of charming. Even when she’s talking about her screw-ups as a parent. You can blog basically any part of your life. A lot of people liveblog political events, TV shows, or conversations they overhear in restaurants. A lot of parents blog about being parents, though some, like that  Daddy Blogger who leashes his daughter , probably shouldn’t. But we don’t mind it so much when their “parenting fails” are more run-of-the-mill, you know? Reality personality and noted baby fever experiencer Chelsea Houska  has been taking to Twitter to share some of her mistakes. Her most recent “parenting fail” that she’s shared on Twitter is mostly just about a … let’s call it a “chemical interaction.” No, not the dangerous kind. Just messy . “Fresh spray tan + drooling baby = disaster” Babies are so adorable, but they sure do produce a lot of what we’ll tastefully refer to as “substances.” Honestly, drool is the least offensive of those. Honestly, that’s a tip to young moms. You might know to not go out in the rain with fresh spray tan, but you might not think fo the effect that your baby could have. Just a few weeks earlier, she’d shared another of her “parenting fails,” though this time she wasn’t the one most impacted. “Starting this morning off with a mom fail. Totally slept through my alarm and Aubree is late for school. Is it summer vacation yet?!” First of all, sleeping through your alarm is the most normal thing in the world. It sucks when you’re a student, it’s worse when it makes you late for work, but it’s extra bad when you’re a parent letting down your kid. Anybody can sleep through an alarm, and if it’s the parent’s fault that the kid’s late, your kid really doesn’t have anything to worry about unless it’s happening all of the time. It’s worth noting that they make all sorts of creative alarms now that make oversleeping next to impossible. Like, mats that let out wailing noises until you stand on them with both feet. It’s a little extra , as the youths say, but it could be worth it if it’s a recurring problem. There’s a popular Tumblr post in which the blogger muses about why there’s no show call “Teen Dad” or “16 & Got A Girl Pregnant.” The blogger then concludes that a show about a teenage boy sitting around playing video games and hanging out with his friends wouldn’t really hook viewers. It’s the sad reality that childcare is too often left to women, even when they themselves aren’t yet adults. It’s even sadder when you realize that so many teenage mothers are impregnated by  not-so-teen  fathers. Gross. So it’s probably nice for pregnant teens to see that someone who was once in their situation is now leading a “normal” life. View Slideshow: Chelsea Houska: ALL The Adorable Photos of Her New Baby!

Jill Duggar Reveals Name of Second Baby Boy!

New, headline-grabbing revelations about the Duggar family seem to be surfacing every day lately. We suppose it makes sense, considering reality TV’s most controversial stars are in the midst of promoting the upcoming fourth season of Counting On , but it’s amazing that one family could generate so much fresh gossip. Of course, it helps when said family is the size of the Duggar clan. Just last week we learned that Joy-Anna Duggar married Austin Forsyth in a massively-attended ceremony in Springdale, Arkansas. (Naturally, the wedding will provide the basis for the Counting On season premiere.) That same weekend, the family revealed that Joseph Duggar had gotten engaged to Kendra Caldwell . (The only thing Counting On viewers love more than a wedding is the build-up to a wedding.) All the Dugs needed to really work their fans into a frenzy for the big premiere was a perfectly-timed birth. Unfortunately, uteruses aren’t controlled by network execs (yet), so the promo team will be forced to settle for the next best thing: A premature name-reveal! Yes, even though their second child will likely still need a couple more weeks to gestate, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard have decided to share their forthcoming bundle of joy’s moniker with the legion of Duggar obsessives. If you were hoping for another off-the-beaten path Duggar handle like Israel of Spurgeon, we’re afraid you might be a little disappointed. Jill dropped the unexpected bombshell with the following post on their personal website: “We are so excited to announce the name of Baby Dillard #2! Samuel Scott Dillard,” she wrote. “We can’t wait to welcome him to the world and have him join our family very soon!” Yes, Samuel Scott. So they’re sticking with the Biblical theme, but it’s considerably less quirky name than the one they chose for little Sammy’s older brother, Izzy. It’s unusual for Duggars to reveal their kids’ names ahead of the birth, but who says you have to wait for a kid to be born for them to start earning. The Duggars are old-fashioned about everything, and that includes child labor laws, friend-o. Now good put on your most durable overalls or your longest denim skirt and share this news with the masses the way God intended – via Twitter. When you’re done, watch Counting On online to get caught up in time for season premiere on June 12. There should be another 18 or so Duggar news items for you bone up on by then.

Ivanka Trump’s Magazine Cover Gets the Meme Treatment from Twitter!

The Trump family might not be making too many people happy these days, but they sure are providing the internet with a lot of entertainment. This time, it's Ivanka who's spawning Twitter memes. In an almost comical ploy for sympathy and brand distance, Ivanka Trump appeared on the cover of  Us Weekly  with  The headline, “Ivanka Takes A Stand: Why I Disagree With My Dad,” was a beautifully giftwrapped present that Twitter opened with great alacrity. Sure, some people just mocked the headline, referring to it as “Daddy, You're Hurting My Brand!” But others got a little more creative with it. From reimagined versions of the cover to references to popular culture — particularly when it comes to parent-child conflicts — Twitter had no shortage of fun parodies of Ivanka's headline. But first, the original magazine cover.   1. Nice Try, Ivanka More like “Why My Brand Needs Distance From My Dad,” right? 2. Spot The Difference … This one’s almost the same, but just a bit more honest. 3. Star Wars Reference Number One What’s more quintessentially Star Wars than disagreeing with your dad? And don’t say lightsabers … 4. If She Doesn’t Get What She Wants … This one might actually be TOO accurate. Ugh. 5. Nice Game of Thrones Reference Does this one technically qualify as “potty humor?” 6. Star Wars Reference Number Two A second dose of Star Wars dad-disagreements; this time with Carrie Fisher feels.
