The cinema industry has cult places that are used for shooting every now and then. They can be old mansions, local sites, restaurants, and even bookstores. This causes the audience to sometimes have déjà vu moments when watching movies. Perhaps, you’ve experienced this too.
The Bright Side editorial found out which places Hollywood uses most often to shoot movies.
1. Bow Bridge, located in New York City’s Central Park, often becomes a backdrop for romantic scenes.
2. The exterior of Alnwick Castle, located in Great Britain, was used for shooting Hogwarts. Moreover, it appeared in Downtown Abbey, as well as some other movies and TV series.
3. The Leonie Pray House is located in California and is considered to be the ideal of Tudor revival style architecture. You can also see this house in Weird Science and Beverly Hills, 90210.
4. The debut of this building took place in 1986 when the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off came to the big screen. Since then, the house has appeared in other movies many times.
5. One of the most popular cafes in the world — Quality Cafe — has been used in the shooting of numerous movies. Unfortunately, the cafe stopped working in 2014.
Pay attention to the fact that the characters are located similarly in the first 2 frames, while the interior almost hasn’t changed — there is a 6-year difference between these shots. You can also see the same mugs in shots #2, #3, and #4.
6. Hatfield House is an old English mansion — decorated in the Tudor and Jacobean style. This private property, belonging to local aristocracy, is actively rented out for filming.
7. This one is also Hatfield House. The gallery that you see in the picture below is 170 ft in length.
8. The creators of the movies Batman and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider — The Cradle of Life opted for the same angle in the same building. This library is also located in Hatfield House.
9. Fire Station #23 (Los Angeles) has appeared in a dozen movies, but it is mostly remembered for its “role” in Ghostbusters.
10. The rocks in Vasquez Rocks Park have “played” in more than 70 Hollywood movies.
11. The gardens of Rockefeller Center (New York City) have become a place where many superhero movies (and television shows) are filmed.
12. Greystone Mansion is a luxury 55-room house in Beverly Hills. It’s very sought-after as a shooting set.
13. Parkwood Estate used to be a private residence, but now it has the status of a national historical place. It regularly appears in movies.
14. Another catering place that is widely advertised by the cinema industry is “The Smokehouse.” The characters of many movies have come here for lunch. By the way, this restaurant is still working.
Of course, the design of the interior has changed a lot because 13 years has passed between the filming of the 2 movies above.
15. Monument Valley often becomes the background for filming movies with Western themes. It is located along the Arizona-Utah border.

Purebred animals are very expensive. What’s the point of investing thousands of dollars in a pet if you can get one for free and it will be your friend you saved from a homeless existence?
The people from this article found their own answers to this question, and now they live with animals that are not purebred. We at Bright Side are very grateful to the people who decided to adopt an animal instead of buying one. The lives of the animals that weren’t expecting anything good to happen, have changed for the best.

It’s not necessary to rush to specialists if you need to fix, build, or improve something. You can start by doing it yourself. And occasionally, people’s wit helps them create something truly precious.
We at Bright Side Googled a bit and found a bunch of self-made inventions from users who haven’t decided whether what they created is a masterpiece or trash.
When there’s no hoop but you want to play basketball anyway:
“My joystick fell off the thing that actually moves it. Managed to get it off but not back on. Got a toothpick and some napkins, and bam — a brand new controller.”
“Went to a sale and the entire kitchen was adorned with spoon handles.”
A perfectly fixed side mirror
This looks very uncomfortable to sit on.
“Neither my dad nor my uncle thought we’d need a pricey mount to get the 75” TV higher up..."
“I carved a pillow.” “You beat me to the joke, but a pillow fight? Now that wood be fun.”
“At least this is creative.”
“I bought a manual coffee grinder but decided it was too slow.”
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
“I guess that works.”
“Would you like a new bumper?”
“My greatest invention: a cube made of clothing hangers and stationery rubber bands. It’s tight, light, and useless!”
How to keep your drink cool:
“My parents’ toilet roll holder”
“The van was cheaper than wood?”
“A homemade desk couch”
“No travel bags? No problem!”
“My mom tried to salvage this rubber glove.”
“My dad needed a BBQ brush, so he nailed a new paintbrush to a paint stirrer.”
If you think it’s a normal flash drive, you’re wrong. It has a spade on the other end.
“This phone case is made of Tic Tac boxes.”
“I didn’t want to go out and buy a whole table for my TV.”
“Take that creaky old door and repurpose it into a new dining room table.”
“My hair comb robot”

A runny nose, a scratchy throat, and nonstop sneezing — sounds like you’re dealing with a pesky cold. You might not have the appetite of a grizzly bear at the moment, but you still have to eat something. The right foods can help strengthen your immune system and improve your symptoms sooner, while the wrong foods can make you feel even worse.
Here at Bright Side, we found out which foods are a good idea to eat and which ones are a big no-no to consume when you’re feeling under the weather.
Foods to avoid:
1. Strawberries
You probably think this superfood is the jackpot when you have a cold, but it’s quite the opposite. Strawberries are high histamine-releasers that can be a congestion nightmare, bringing unpleasant discomfort to your nose and sinuses.
2. Sweets
Sweet stuff has plenty of sugar, which is the last thing you need when you’re ill. Eating sugar can temporarily suppress your immune system and your white blood cells’ ability to fight off the germs that are making you sick. Because of this, you should try to keep your sugar cravings under control unless you want to make your symptoms worse.
3. Processed foods
Not all processed foods are unhealthy or a bad choice, but some of them may contain high levels of salt, sugar, and fat. And these ingredients are a recipe for inflammation and may delay your body’s healing process. With that in mind, savory snacks, soft drinks, breakfast cereals, bacon, or sausages should all remain a distant memory — at least until you feel better.
4. Pickled foods
They taste delicious next to a steak but try to avoid them if you’re sick. These foods contain vinegar or salt, which are ingredients that might increase the inflammation of a sore throat.
5. Crispy foods
If you have a cough or a sore throat, eating crunchy snacks such as crackers, nachos, potato chips or pretzels might feel like sandpaper on your throat. These foods can badly irritate the throat, which means prolonging your suffering.
Foods to eat instead:
1. Chicken soup
A steaming bowl of chicken soup is a must when you have a cold, and not just because your mom or grandma says so. It keeps you hydrated, it’s nutritious, it’s soothing and studies suggest that it has an anti-inflammatory effect that may help your cold symptoms.
2. Chili peppers
Maybe you want to spice up your meals a bit. Chili peppers have something called capsaicin, an ingredient that can ease your symptoms. This works like a decongestant and expectorant, meaning it can break up mucus and relieve coughing and a stuffy nose.
3. Ginger
A hot cup of ginger tea can be your best friend when you’re nursing a cold. This mighty root has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects that help to fight the virus. Ginger clears congestion, suppresses coughing, and soothes your throat — so why not give it a try?
4. Mushrooms
Not only are they tasty, but mushrooms have great health properties too. They’re immune boosters and a rich source of selenium, magnesium, and zinc. Their strong antiviral properties make them a fantastic cold-fighting food.
5. Cranberries
So tiny, yet so powerful. These ruby-red gems are packed with vitamin C and an antioxidant called quercetin that may give your immune system a well-deserved boost. In a study from the University of Florida, researchers found that cranberry juice drinkers had fewer cold symptoms than those who didn’t drink the juice. So go ahead, pour yourself a glass and your body will thank you later.

And don’t worry, mastering a good posture doesn’t have to take a lot of time. In fact, it’s often just about being aware of your posture and making sure you don’t slouch in a chair or hunch your back when looking at your phone.
The Bright Side team has collected 10 tips to help you fix your posture. And they’re so easy, you can incorporate them into your daily life from this moment on.
1. Have a specialist tape an “X” on your back.
In the medical world this is, not surprisingly, called “posture taping,” and it’s a common tool used to hold the body in the right position and create awareness of slouching during the day. The cross or “X” form in the figure should be applied when the shoulders are slightly bent backward. If done correctly, this should prevent you from slouching during the day.
2. Keep your feet flat on the ground while sitting.
Many people spend most of the day in a seated position, which makes having a correct sitting posture even more important. It’s crucial that you distribute your weight evenly across your hips and feet. You can do this by bending your knees at a right angle and putting your feet flat on the ground. If your feet can’t reach the ground, you can use a book or purchase a footrest.
3. Support your lower back with a rolled-up towel to prevent slouching.
One of the common causes of lower back pain is sitting in a slouched position. Luckily, you can adjust your sitting position easily with the help of a so-called ’"lumbar support device," for which you can use something as simple as a rolled-up towel. The main point here is that the device you use should be supportive and placed in the small of your back to help support your lumbar spine’s natural forward curve.
4. Put a post-it with a stick figure in your sight to be reminded of your posture.
Postural awareness is very important in the process of adapting a healthy posture in your everyday life. To make yourself think about your posture (before your back starts to hurt) during the day, you can start with something as simple as drawing a stick figure on a post-it and putting it on your computer screen to give yourself a quick reminder to sit up straight.
5. Associate a posture-check with something you do regularly.
Taking a quick look at your phone, having a sip of water, or reading a Bright Side article are all things you probably do multiple times a day. To create more postural awareness, you can teach yourself to ask the question: “Am I sitting correctly?” You should do this every time you are performing your chosen regular activity.
6. Before you start driving, first sit up straight and then adjust your back mirror accordingly.
Before you start driving, you have to adjust your rearview mirror in such a way that you can easily see the road behind you. Try to sit up straight before making these adjustments so that you’re forced to have good posture while driving in order to see behind you. Be aware that seeing the road at a quick glance is the most important thing, so only make small adjustments when needed.
7. Keep your hands in your back pockets when you’re just standing around.
When standing up, good posture is called “standing tall.” If you’re more used to having your shoulders going inward and the upper back leaning forward, there are some easy exercises to quickly change this habit. For instance, by putting your hands in your back pockets, you force your shoulders to open up and you will stand up straighter immediately.
8. Walk like you’re wearing a cape — and with confidence!
For maintaining good posture while walking, you should focus on elongating your spine. Slouching or leaning forward can put stress on your back muscles, which can start to hurt after a while. One tip is to walk like you’re wearing a cape (or wear a cape for real). This will definitely keep your back straight and your head up high. Another trick is to imagine your head being pulled up by an invisible string that’s attached to the ceiling.
9. Walk while taking calls.
Mobile phones are meant to be used away from your desk or couch, so this can be the perfect opportunity for you to give yourself a quick break from the position you’ve been working in. Make an incoming call your “go moment” to get up and take a quick stroll. Staying active is said to help at maintaining good posture throughout the day.
10. Tuck your chin in — where the head goes, the body follows.
The head’s position says a lot about the general posture of your body. You should be continually working to align your body under your head. This might sound complicated, but an easy trick is to keep your chin tucked in and your head pulled back. It’s kind of like imagining a string pulling the top of your head toward the sky so your entire body and neck stay nice and lengthened.

All bodies are beautiful, but it’s a totally different topic when it comes to talking about healthy bodies. When you find the strength to fight anorexia, cancer, or being overweight, then there is nothing that’ll seem impossible for you after that. The people in this article prove that being healthy and turning into the best version of yourself is just a matter of choice.
Bright Side is always searching for new sources of motivation for our readers, and this article is one of them. It could easily turn out to be the kick-start you’ve been waiting for!
1. “I went through Bulimia recovery and here is me after my teeth restoration.”
Her teeth fell out because of the stomach acid from throwing up for years and years. She also ate unhealthy food.
2. She proved that being what you want to be is just a choice you need to make.
“4 years ago on the nose is when I went in for inpatient care for my eating disorder. At the time I wasn’t thinking 4 years in the future, or even 4 days. I can, without a doubt, say that my choosing to get help was the best choice I’ve ever made. I’ll never regret my past, because it prepared me for the rest of my life. I’m stronger for having had an eating disorder. I’ve proven to myself that I am more than just a body or a number. I want everyone to know that you are not alone in your struggles.”
3.“Update on my recovery from anorexia, one year in”
4. “For almost 2 years, I’ve been battling with my teeth rotting away, and last week I got full implants!”
5. “Been working on this for 2 years, but I did it. I reached my goal weight.”

7. “When I went into remission from cancer, I stopped thinking about weight. But now I am on the right track again.”
8. “My mom was told by her doctor that she had fatty liver disease and would develop liver cancer if she didn’t lose weight.”
“6 months later she surprised her doctor and went on to defy the laws of aging.”
9. “I have never been happy with how I look. Here I finally am!”
10. “Recovery from martial arts”
11. “4 years after recovering from near death and a traumatic brain injury, I’m finally able to train and feeling better than ever!”
12. All you need is self-love!
13. By working out, she finally reached her goal.
14. “I was getting my hip surgery about 1.5 years ago. Been able to get back into exercising and kept the weight off using intermittent fasting.”
15. " I have been in eating disorder recovery for 7 years and my weight has fluctuated. My solution was and is spiritual."
16. “After over a decade of hard work I’m finally finished losing.”
17. “Been stalled for a little over a month and finally hit 250 lbs lost today! 25 pounds to goal and I’m OVER THE MOON!”
18. "After months of hospital stays due to complications of Crohn’s Disease, I’m just happy now!

” “ Oh yeah .
When I did get in Collateral , Michael Mann was like , ‘ Hey , you ’ d better keep your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ m making sure this movie works for the big star.
’ And that ’ s how I knew I wasn ’ t the big star .
We ’ re in the car and we ’ re driving and we ’ re supposed to do this stunt where I crash into another car .

And they ’ re like , ’ Jamie , get out of the way .
Tom ?
Are you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where you know where you are.
” On The Graham Norton Show , George Clooney said that he spoke to Hugh Laurie a lot about medicine , because both of them had done medical shows for a long time .

I couldn ’ t remember it 10 minutes after I said it .
And George still remembers whole reams of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I can give you one thing I carried over from then is when I do another role now and a director says , ’ Action !

Famous people often go on different talk shows where they tell the audience about funny situations that have happened to them in their everyday lives or while shooting films. When we listened to these stories, we found that our favorite stars are very funny. Especially Robert Downey Jr., who decided to prank his colleagues, but kind of failed.
We at Bright Side have watched dozens of interviews of famous actors and have chosen the funniest bits to share with you.
Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law
On The Graham Norton Show, Jude Law recalled a funny story from the set of Sherlock Holmes. "There was a scene where we walk into a room of carnage. There’s all these rubber bodies just strewn around, like obviously fake dummy bodies. And Robert leans over to me and goes “Check this out, this’ll be really funny.” There’s a big hand lying there and so he steps on it as hard as he can. And the extra starts screaming, “For the love of GOOOOD!!!” We didn’t know he was alive! Robert Downey Jr.: "And then the guy says, "The honor of getting my hand stomped by the great Sherlock Holmes. In America, he’d be like, “Lawsuit!”
Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise
When actor Jamie Foxx went on The Graham Norton Show, he talked about things that happened on the set of Collateral that made him realize that it was Tom Cruise that was a big star and not anybody else. The anchor: “I like the story of you learning that, like, Tom Cruise was the star.” Jamie Foxx: “Oh yeah. When I did get in Collateral, Michael Mann was like, ‘Hey, you’d better keep your stuff together because, you know, I’m making sure this movie works for the big star.’ And that’s how I knew I wasn’t the big star. We’re in the car and we’re driving and we’re supposed to do this stunt where I crash into another car. But what happens is the car gets out of control and I actually do crash into the car. And they’re like, ’Jamie, get out of the way. Tom? Are you okay?’ And that’s where you know where you are.”
Hugh Laurie and George Clooney
On The Graham Norton Show, George Clooney said that he spoke to Hugh Laurie a lot about medicine, because both of them had done medical shows for a long time. Hugh Laurie complained that he didn’t understand anything and was just trying to support the conversation. And then he added: “I cannot remember any of it. I couldn’t remember it 10 minutes after I said it. And George still remembers whole reams of stuff from considerably longer ago. But I can give you one thing I carried over from then is when I do another role now and a director says, ’Action!’ I start limping. I’m just like a dog who’s had electrodes attached to it.”
Colin Firth
In one of his interviews, Colin Firth talked about how he was included on the list of the most influential people in the world. And soon, he became the Commander of the British Empire. He said, "Trying to remind a child it’s bedtime and that I’m in fact the Commander had no effect whatsoever. I made it on to one of those influential lists. I brought the magazine home and I think my son was 10 at the time and he said, “You’re not even the most influential person in this house!”
Ryan Reynolds
In his interview on the morning show Live with Kelly and Ryan, Ryan Reynolds shared a situation that happened to his second daughter Inez. “My younger daughter Inez, she’s 2. She’s like really into villains. That’s like her thing. We watched Beauty and the Beast and her favorite character was Gaston. When our pediatrician met Inez, she said, ’Oh, this one’s shady.’ Even the other day when we were traveling back home, we were at the airport and out of our whole family, she’s the only one that got the secondary security pat-down. At 2 years old! And she takes it like a hardened felon. She’s just like, ’Search me.’”
“And I was like, ’What is happening here?’”
Patrick Stewart
Actor Patrick Stewart, famous for his roles in Star Trek and X-Men, remembered a situation that happened to him in an elevator. "I was going down in an elevator. And the doors were just about to close and a couple squeezes in. And it’s perfectly clear that they’ve had a drop or 2. And the man says, “Oh my God! I can’t believe it. This is Dr. Spock from Star Trek.” And his wife said, “Honey, no. You got it wrong. This is Sir Ben Kingsley.”
It was actually Leonard Nimoy that played Spock in Star Trek and British actor Ben Kingsley has nothing to do with Star Wars or Star Trek.
Benedict Cumberbatch and Harrison Ford
Benedict Cumberbatch remembered the time he first saw Harrison Ford in real life: “When I first met him in LA, I told him, ‘I’m a really big fan and I used to fantasize about you.’ I wanted to say I used to fantasize about being Han Solo.” And you [Harrison Ford] took is very well and said, “It takes all sorts.”
Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey
On Ellen, actress Anne Hathaway remembered a story that happened to her and Matthew McConaughey on the set of Serenity that was filmed on the island of Mauritius. “Matthew and his wife Camila took us on an amazing kind of bar side tour of the island.” Ellen: “Wow. And how was that?” Anne: “I don’t remember.”
Tom Cruise
In one of his shows, Conan O’Brien asked Tom Cruise: "You’ve done so many amazing stunts. How do you feel when you open your schedule and don’t see “Another deadly stunt”? “I feel upset.”
Ian McKellen and Maggie Smith
From an interview for Graham Norton: "In New Zealand where we filmed The Lord of the Rings, if you’re lucky, you’re given a piece of green stone, carved, and you wear it, and chances are you’ll go back to New Zealand. It’ll bring you a bit of luck. When those films were nominated for like 20 Oscars, everybody was wearing that green stone. And when we were on the Red Carpet, I met Maggie Smith and she asked me what that was around my neck. I told her it brings me luck. And we went our separate ways and, you know, it lasts 3 and a half or 4 hours. And then everyone else wins the Oscar apart from me. Then you go to get a drink and you bump into Maggie Smith and she points at it and says, “Didn’t work, did it?”

If there were a friendly competition between dogs , cats , and parrots to find out which ones were the cutest , the outcome would be hard-fought .

If there were a friendly competition between dogs, cats, and parrots to find out which ones were the cutest, the outcome would be hard-fought. Although our furry 4-legged creatures are placed at the top of the mountain of charm and love, it’s hard not to feel the same affection for these birds. With their colorful feathers and witty yet affectionate ways, they could easily displace dogs and cats from their pedestal!
So, with that in mind, Bright Side put together a series of pictures that prove how parrots can be just as cute and witty as cats and dogs.
1. “My friends just don’t understand when I tell them that my bird won’t let me sleep in.”
2. “This is how Mango loves to sleep while my husband is watching TV.”
3. “This is Billy. He was hatched in 1993, 2 years before I was born. Billy was my grandma’s bird, but we grew up together, and eventually, I became one of the only people he let hold him. It’s hard to believe he’s 27 years old!”
4. “Piper wasn’t happy about being put in ’the bucket’ to get weighed at the vet.”
5. “Besties for life!”
6. “She usually naps in my neck where I can’t see her. I finally got to see her smiling and relaxing this morning. Yay!”
7. “25 years with this handsome guy — Happy birthday, Gray Ghost!”
8. “No, I didn’t scream all day, it’s a lie...”
9. “Peep seems to be enjoying the air purifier next to her cage.”
10. “The day she chose her human ❤”
11. “I smell seeds.”
12. “Peachy and Ice Cube are 19-year-old retired lovebird babies. This here is like, 25% of their day.”
13. “Dad is definitely Carla’s favorite human.”
14. “I got portraits made for my lovies.”
15. “Soaking in the sun”
16. “I’m not touching it. I’m not touching it.”
17. “This is my lovebird, Rainbow. I’ve had him since I was in sixth grade which is a whopping 16 years. I don’t know exactly how old he is at this point but he’s been with me through thick and thin and I don’t know what I’d do without him! ❤”
18. Enjoying the rain!

There’s just one thing better than a spotless bathroom: a spotless bathroom that was cleaned on a small budget and with minimal effort. And we know just how to make this a reality — it’s the well-known ammonia and hydrogen peroxide combo that you can buy at your nearest drug store.
Here at Bright Side, we like collecting household secrets and life hacks, so here’s a recipe that can actually divide your life into “before” and “after.”
Hydrogen peroxide is a magic anti-microbial tool.
Hydrogen peroxide is known for treating cuts and wounds and it can actually be a great helper around the house. Due to its anti-fungal and anti-microbial qualities, it destroys bacteria, mildew, and bad odors. It can be used to clean cookware, carpets, and tile; to whiten home textiles and bed linens; and to remove limescale and yellow marks from the sink, bath, and toilet.
Ammonia dissolves grease and oil stains.
Household ammonia is known to be a strong cleaner as it gets rid of grease and oil by breaking down cell proteins. Many tub, floor and window cleaners contain it as an active ingredient. But while it’s a highly effective cleaning agent, it’s poisonous and very dangerous if it comes into contact with the eyes or skin, or if it’s inhaled. That’s why ammonia should never be combined with other chemicals as it can be very harmful.
It’s cheaper and safer than store-bought household chemicals ($10 vs $2, respectively).
Household chemicals don’t come cheap, especially in big families as they run out very quickly. So if you don’t want to overpay or use products with complex substances (especially if there are people with allergies in your household), create your own cleaning product! It’s less costly and harmless if you follow the right proportions and safety precautions.
Ingredients: 100 ml of ammonia (10%)
100 ml of hydrogen peroxide (3%) Method: Take a plastic bottle with an atomizer or a glass jar, rinse it under running water, and wipe it dry with paper napkins or a towel.
Put on rubber gloves, a mask, and preferably safety glasses before you pour the ammonia into the bottle.
Add hydrogen peroxide to the ammonia in a thin stream.
Mix it all by gently and carefully shaking the bottle.
Spray the mixture onto the rust (or apply it onto a clean dry cloth and put it on the rust) and leave it in this state for 10-15 minutes.
Wash it all off thoroughly with running water.
Good ventilation and a mask are a must.
Ammonia can be poisonous, so to use it at home, you’ll need to open all the windows, put on a mask and rubber gloves, quickly apply the mixture to the bathtub, sink, or toilet, and leave the room (you can go into another room, a balcony, or outside), and keep other family members and pets away from the bathroom.
After the mixture is washed off thoroughly, it’s always a good idea to ventilate the home well.
What simple cleaning recipes do you use in your household? We’d be happy to hear from you in the comment section below!

This Mom Faces Disapproval Because Her Son Wears a Leash and Backpack, and She Explains Her Reasoning

Being a responsible parent becomes harder and harder .
This also means that it ’ s challenging for parents to keep an eye on their little ones while out and about .
After all , you can pick up your phone to answer a text or call , and just like that , your child can disappear .
Any parent who has had a chance to raise a small child knows that they can run a mile in a minute if they ’ re not careful .
Bright Side understands how challenging parenting can be , so today , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mom who turned to Facebook to call out all the “ Karens ” and “ Susans ” out there who ’ ve made mom-shaming a sport and penned a heartfelt explanation as to why she has to use a leash with her toddler .
A mom has been forced to face mother-shaming too many times .
Rachel Butcher is a mom of an adopted son .
People who have absolutely no idea about her extremely difficult journey to parenthood and personal struggles feel it well within their rights to throw her disapproving looks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leash with her son .
One such incident left Rachel in tears , and she took to Facebook to call out all the people who ’ ve made mom-shaming a way to express negative feelings .
Her post on Facebook made people look at her case from a very new point of view .
Butcher began her post by stating that her day was extremely hard .
“ Our son has more energy and speed than your average 21-month-old .
Aside from his already rough beginning of medicine exposure , we know little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their genetics .
So he could be more hyper just from experiences that I don ’ t know of.
” “ What works for your child doesn ’ t necessarily work for mine.
” Butcher then explained the story behind the backpack with an attached leash : “ My child runs faster than me .
Due to scar tissue from my hysterectomy , I have trouble running sometimes to keep up with him .
Let it also be known , I religiously ran races and ran every day before my surgery .
So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” “ My child also hates to be confined , whether it ’ s by a car seat , high chair , stroller — or shocker , a shopping cart .
I use Shipt more often than I should because it ’ s incredibly hard to go out with him alone sometimes.
” “ I ’ ve come home crying because I ’ ve left stores before finishing shopping because he ’ s having a meltdown , I also got snide comments and nasty looks then too , ” she revealed .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We went to Target and he wore his backpack and he did AMAZING .
He was HAPPY , LAUGHING , SMILING , and yes , running , but he was close to me.
” She does everything to protect her son .
“ My son is nearly 3 now and still runs — like full out sprints — he still attends OT , PT , and speech , and we ’ re working through his developmental delays and he is thriving .
Remember his name , one day he will be a running @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interview .
Every mom has the right to raise her kids as she sees fit .
Loving parents face challenges and unhealthy criticism on a daily basis but what matters , in the end , is that you raise a good child with whom you can always be proud of !
Just make sure whatever you do doesn ’ t violate the law .

Being a responsible parent becomes harder and harder. This also means that it’s challenging for parents to keep an eye on their little ones while out and about. After all, you can pick up your phone to answer a text or call, and just like that, your child can disappear. Any parent who has had a chance to raise a small child knows that they can run a mile in a minute if they’re not careful.
Bright Side understands how challenging parenting can be, so today, we want to tell you about a loving mom who turned to Facebook to call out all the “Karens” and “Susans” out there who’ve made mom-shaming a sport and penned a heartfelt explanation as to why she has to use a leash with her toddler.
A mom has been forced to face mother-shaming too many times.
Rachel Butcher is a mom of an adopted son. People who have absolutely no idea about her extremely difficult journey to parenthood and personal struggles feel it well within their rights to throw her disapproving looks when they see her using a backpack leash with her son. One such incident left Rachel in tears, and she took to Facebook to call out all the people who’ve made mom-shaming a way to express negative feelings.
Her post on Facebook made people look at her case from a very new point of view.
Butcher began her post by stating that her day was extremely hard. “Our son has more energy and speed than your average 21-month-old. Aside from his already rough beginning of medicine exposure, we know little to nothing about his biological family and their genetics. So he could be more hyper just from experiences that I don’t know of.”
“What works for your child doesn’t necessarily work for mine.”
Butcher then explained the story behind the backpack with an attached leash: “My child runs faster than me. Due to scar tissue from my hysterectomy, I have trouble running sometimes to keep up with him. Let it also be known, I religiously ran races and ran every day before my surgery. So it’s not due to laziness.”
“My child also hates to be confined, whether it’s by a car seat, high chair, stroller — or shocker, a shopping cart. I use Shipt more often than I should because it’s incredibly hard to go out with him alone sometimes.”
She proves that miracles happen!
“I’ve come home crying because I’ve left stores before finishing shopping because he’s having a meltdown, I also got snide comments and nasty looks then too,” she revealed. “But today, today was worse. We went to Target and he wore his backpack and he did AMAZING. He was HAPPY, LAUGHING, SMILING, and yes, running, but he was close to me.”
“The looks and side-eye I got from no less than 5 ’Karens’ made me grab my 2 items and leave. I don’t know why women feel the need to judge and mom-shame so often.”
She does everything to protect her son.
“My son is nearly 3 now and still runs — like full out sprints — he still attends OT, PT, and speech, and we’re working through his developmental delays and he is thriving. Remember his name, one day he will be a running back!” Butcher said during the interview.
Every mom has the right to raise her kids as she sees fit.
Loving parents face challenges and unhealthy criticism on a daily basis but what matters, in the end, is that you raise a good child with whom you can always be proud of! Just make sure whatever you do doesn’t violate the law.
