Science Says That Parents Aren’t Actually All That Miserable, Despite Seemingly Endless Evidence to the Contrary

Parenting is hard. Everything about it is hard. The messes. The emotions. The relationship struggles. The nothing-going-the-way-they-said-it-would-ness of it all. The screaming. So you’d think that all parents would be nothing but miserable, day-in and day-out. Turns out that’s not the case, at least according to a little thing we like to call science. You may have heard of science. Maybe you took a few courses in school, or maybe you’ve just been reading this very website. Regardless, at some point, you’ve likely heard of science and know that, for the most part, it is to be trusted. via GIPHY So when science says that parents aren’t miserable, we have no choice but to listen to science.

Instead, they lived off the land in Hawaii. Their lives were about their family and their island heritage. In a Facebook post, Kahealani described her feelings upon giving her grandparents a new home: “They persevered through hardships & never complained about what they didn’t have. They’ve done so much for so many people & never expect anything in return. They’ve sacrificed so much for me and raised me to know that it is always better to give than to receive…. that it ain’t all about the money in your pocket, but about sticking together as a family & loving each other unconditionally. I will never be able to truly express my gratitude & love for them (because it’s infinite!) but I will spend my life trying!” Kahealani wanted

102-Year-Old Dancer Never Saw Herself On Film, Until Now

During the Harlem Renaissance of the 1930s and 40s, Alice Barker was a chorus line dancer. She shared the stage with legends like Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, and Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and performed at the Apollo and the Zanzibar Club, She also danced in several movies, commercials and TV shows but sadly she had also lost all of her memorabilia over the years.  Then the YouTube channel Tenfresh got involved and Alice for the first time saw films of her performances.  Mark Cantor of Jazz on Film and the folks at Tenfresh secured “soundies” in which Alice appeared.  Tenfresh  filmed the moment Alice watched herself perform for the very first time.  Her reaction to seeing her videos and performances is moving. Alice is stunning in her youth, and her spirit remained beautiful throughout her life. Alice says that watching the video made her “wish that I could get out of this bed and do it all over again.” Unlike 100-year-old Eileen Kramer, Alice was only able to relive her dancing days through her memories, until this amazing footage came along.  The folks at Tenfresh updated their video posting with an emotional message: “Alice passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 6th,
