And it turns out, humor like that may be an important skill in parenting, according to new research. More than a laughYes, humor can get your family laughing, but it also serves a lot of important functions in parenting, Levi said. Other times, using humor can create a bond between you and your child from which you can better solve problems, she added. “The real question is, how can humor be used appropriately for the children? The best humor you can use with your children is the kind that puts the two of you on the same side, she added.

As a dad of two young girls, I do so much parenting that sometimes it feels like that's all I ever do. We feed and entertain the kids from dawn 'til dusk and often re-enter the grind on Monday more exhausted than ever. Simply put, there's just not much time for my own hobbies, time with friends, or many of the things that used to make me me. Spending time with my pre-kid and non-parent friends is crucialOne thing that never fails to invigorate me is time spent with my friends who either don't have kids, or who knew me before I did. It's so important to both of us that we see each other as more than just "mom" or "dad."

My British family pronounces it "ah-mee-tah," and my Indian family pronounces it "ah-mee-tha." I'm comfortable with either of those pronunciations, but many Americans pronounce it as "uh-mee-duh," which I really dislike. Saying my name with the "duh" sound may not sound wrong to some, but I feel that it makes my name sound clunky and old-school. It's helped me learn to advocate for myself and be aware of whether I'm saying other's names correctly. It's taught me that the people in my life who take the time to pronounce it right — and correct others — are the ones who matter most.
