20+ Photos Showing It Takes Nerves of Steel to Be a Parent Small children don ’ t just bring happiness and fun , but also a lot of trouble .
They might just burst into tears in public because you don ’ t want to buy them a toy , let them walk on fresh concrete , or allow them to draw on the walls with a marker .
And they can drive their parents crazy with the things they do .
But the parents , who have nerves of steel , seem to have a positive attitude toward these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe that this is the right mindset , because children usually do something wrong only when they are trying to learn more about the world around them .
Here are 20+ things children did that ’ ll surely improve your mood .
“ My son refused to drink his milk from a cup.
” She ’ s crying because she can ’ t pet the “ kitty ” at the zoo .
Honestly , at what age does self-preservation actually kick in ?
This is what a real father looks like , not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after an hour .
“ This is the face she gives me when I tell her to stop eating mud and put her shoes back on.
” “ Watching TV with a 2-year-old is so relaxing ... ” said no parent ever !
She ’ s currently pissed that it ’ s called the “ Children ’ s Museum ” and not the Dinosaur Museum .
That time my son wanted to go through the drive-thru “ My 2-year-old confronted the greatest disappointment of her entire life , thus far , yesterday.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but didn ’ t say he wanted to make a wish ... ” Less than 5 minutes ago , I offered this kid a pillow .
She threw it at me because she “ does NOT want to lie down ... ” “ My 5-year-old son decided to chew on the blinds in his bedroom.
” “ My kid made his Easy Mac without water .
We had to leave the house for hours thanks to the smell.
” “ My 8-year-old opens the bathroom cabinets every time he goes to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to jump out and get him .
”

You can be the smartest man on earth and still not have a clue about what a child really wants. They can burst into tears in public because you don’t want to buy them a toy, demand to let them walk on fresh concrete, or get upset when you don’t allow them to draw on the walls with a marker.

As a result, your water may become a bit more acidic with a lower pH level. It won’t influence your health but it might change the taste of the water, making it less pleasant to drink.
Keeping a glass of water near your bed may disrupt your sleep.
If you constantly have a glass of water in sight, especially if you struggle with falling asleep right away, you may start drinking water during the night and increase your urge to go to the bathroom. And doing that several times at night may ruin your sleep cycle, depriving you of a good night’s sleep and leaving you feeling tired and exhausted in the morning.

Fashion is constantly changing, but it’s important to keep abreast of new trends when it comes to shoes. This part of a wardrobe can spoil even the best outfit. So how can we spot an outdated style that we shouldn’t bring into the new season? And what can replace high heels, suede over-the-knee boots, sandals with a thin sole, and other shoes that were trending a couple of years ago? You’ll find the answers to these questions in our article!
Bright Side took a closer look at runway shoe styles and spotted the trends that will dominate on the red carpet and in everyday life in 2020. And at the end of the article, you’ll find a bonus feature that will surprise you with a comeback of long-forgotten fashion trends.
14. “Ugly” sneakers
Fashionistas and fashion designers are already getting tired of “ugly” sneakers, which are also known as “dad shoes” because of the lack of variety in their styles. Sneakers that make the legs look bigger and heavier were left in the past and now, they’re being replaced with neat, basic styles like the ones present in the Marine Serre, Gucci, Ralph & Russo or House of Holland collections. Jamie Wei Huang and Longchamp prepared stylish sock sneakers for people who aren’t afraid to rock unusual looks.
13. Shoes with unstable heels or platforms
In 2020, comfort has become an important detail of any look. So it’s no surprise the shoes that were making our walk unstable were replaced with styles with wider heels. Dries Van Noten, Prabal Gurung, and Tibi are taking care of fashionistas’ comfort.
12. Pumps
Designers suggest we forget about pumps this spring. They’ll be replaced with elegant and feminine Mary Jane shoes with rounded toes, wide heels, and a strap across the instep. Maison Margiela, DROMe, and Marc Jacobs chose this classic shoe style for their collections.
11. Black suede over-the-knee boots
10. Ankle boots in neutral colors
The previous rule applies to ankle boots as well. Famous designers like Jeremy Scott and Coach are trying to create the brightest mood possible and are telling us to forget about the everyday beige, brown, and black colors — at least for now.
9. Transparent shoes
We’re surprised that transparent shoes have managed to stay popular for this long. They’re uncomfortable, displeasing to the eyes, not ecologically-friendly, and now, they aren’t fashionable either. This weird trend was replaced by shoes with voluminous details and they’re pretty interesting. “Bulging” sandals created by Bottega Veneta, Proenza Schouler, Issey Miyake, A.W.A.K.E. MODE, and Natasha Zinko make us want to touch the footwear and then buy a pair for ourselves immediately!
8. Sandals with flat insoles
The Michael Kors Collection, Gabriela Hearst, Anna Sui, Erdem, and Valentino suggest starting a new decade from a high point — or rather, a platform. And the higher it is, the better! If you want to have the most fashionable shoe style ever, it’s better to choose a pair with rattan soles.
7. Mules
The rule of 2020 is that mule shoes are out of fashion while sabo shoes are on-trend. But who can tell the difference between these 2 styles? Sabo shoes always have a thick sole and never have a thin heel. Fashion designers Marc Jacobs and Anna Sui advise wearing shoes with thin soles on the beach, and higher shoes when you’re walking in the city.
6. Straps
Pump shoes with a stripe in the middle that connects the toes with the ankle strap used to be the most desirable style a couple of years ago. But everything is changing, and this year, it’s time to remember the “gladiator” sandal. You could see these shoes with different types of lacing in almost every fashion show not too long ago. For example, Versace, Simone Rocha, Christian Dior, Valentino, Longchamp, Toga, Elisabetta Franchi, Etro, Givenchy, GCDS, and Missoni featured such shoes in their collections.
5. Closed-heel shoes
Until recently, no celebrity appeared on a red carpet event without fashionable closed-toe heeled shoes. But now, the style from the ’50s with an open heel, otherwise known as a slingback, is back in fashion. This spring, fashion designers like Coach, Louis Vuitton, Proenza Schouler, and Tory Burch suggest conducting various experiments with these shoes boasting a design that was initially developed by Christian Dior. They came up with their unusual heels, numerous decorating elements, and bright colors that you can play with while experimenting. Pastel colors are also a great option.
4. Shoes with a rounded toe
Rounded-toe flat shoes are an outdated style that can make any editor of a fashion magazine yawn. This spring, we should be brave enough to at least go for pointy-toe shoes like ones that Gucci, Haider Ackermann, Saint Laurent, and Michael Kors Collection offer us. But squared-toe shoes like the ones from Miu Miu, Proenza Schouler, and DROMe will be at the peak of popularity.
3. Velvet
This is the perfect example of when one impractical material gets replaced by another. Today, the atlas fabric has replaced velvet. You need to walk very carefully in such shoes, trying to protect them from dirt and things that can be very difficult to clean off of them. But you can create an incredibly chic and feminine look with these types of shoes, just like the ones that appeared in fashion shows by Zimmermann, Miu Miu, Dries Van Noten, Proenza Schouler, Simone Rocha, and Giambattista Valli.
2. Summer shoes with fur
1. Accessories
In 2020, shoes turned into an accessory that can replace both jewelry and precious stones. The models from the fashion houses of Prabal Gurung, Peter Pilotto, Balmain, Bottega Veneta, and Simone Rocha wore chains, crystals, and pearls on their legs while walking the runway. If you like this trend, you can just replace straps on your shoes with chains instead of buying a new pair.
Bonus: fashion trends you didn’t think would be back in 2020

Security measures at airports are very strict and can make journeys pretty stressful for many people, especially for those who may need extra assistance. This is the case of a mother of a little child with a hidden disability. Through a simple gesture, she made this situation visible and accomplished something amazing, not only for her family, but also for all those people who have to travel by plane at some point in their lives.
We at Bright Side admire this family’s great achievement in making the world a better place and becoming an inspiration for all the moms and dads out there.
Spearheading a movement toward understanding
Kim Baker went on vacation with her family to Spain in June of last year. Her little one has autism, so she decided to wear a peculiar symbol to inform staff about her son’s special needs or any situation that might arise during the flight. Kim wore a green lanyard with sunflowers and this has been one of the best decisions she ever made.
A call to empathy
This decision made her trip different, as she shared with her friends in a Facebook post. A security guard at Malaga airport saw the lanyard around her neck and escorted them straight through to special assistance, so that they didn’t have to stand in line to get through routine security processes. For children with autism, standing in long lines can be impossible. They can have a sensory crisis because they feel overwhelmed, and this initiative allows them to receive help so that they can have a much more pleasant trip.
A growing project
However, as Kim said, this is not a new trend. The creators of this idea were the members of the London Gatwick airport staff who, in 2016, made this accessory a symbol of support for family members of people with a hidden disability, like autism, attention deficit disorder, dementia, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, as well as for those suffering from extreme fear when traveling.
Actions that add up
Gatwick Airport not only transformed this lanyard into a sign for those who travel. In addition, it has a sensory room for people with hidden disabilities. There they can feel safe and distracted after being in an unfamiliar environment, like the airport. Now, more and more airports are successfully adopting the sunflower lanyard idea.
Reaching more places
Now this lanyard is a symbol that is not only used in airports, but also in supermarkets and railway stations, with the aim of alerting staff to any possible need. Kim says that they don’t necessarily want special treatment, but that they’re just seeking a little understanding and empathy for those who have a disability that is not super-obvious. Wearing this lanyard is an excellent start to achieving this.
Making it visible
In order to provide support to parents and relatives of people with disabilities, these lanyards can now be purchased through the Hidden Disabilities Store. They have a page where people can learn more about the lanyard and another page where they share their experiences with this project. The response from airline employees has been very positive and passengers have found real support in them.

Stereotypically, we’re used to men taking initiative in a relationship, they’re not only expected to ask a woman out first, but marriage proposals are also, very often, left up to them. However, according to research conducted by the popular dating website OkCupid, it’s time for women to come out of their shells and take things into their own very capable hands.
We at Bright Side looked deeper into the study’s findings and are rushing to you with valid reasons why ladies should step up to the dating frontlines.
Women don’t need to waste time waiting for an eligible guy to appear.
By the dating website standard, men send way more messages than women and that is a fact. This strategy has the same principle as fishing, the bigger net you cast, the higher your chances are of catching something or someone (this might be where the old “there’s plenty of fish on the sea” saying comes from).
But we know that quantity has nothing on quality, and women can spend days if not months on a dating website waiting for their prince charming to gallop into their DMs. And being overwhelmed by choices might even lower their chance of locating that special someone. This truly might be the time to stop sitting around and finally take matters into your own hands.
Women who approach men first immediately spark their interest.
Interestingly, no matter how many messages women receive, their response rate stays pretty much the same. However, it’s the complete opposite with men. The more messages they receive, the more they send, and ladies should use this information to their own advantage. The study says that women are 2.5 times more likely to hear from a guy if they make the first move. We like how those odds sound! In addition, women have the advantage of starting a conversation any way they want. No more cheesy pick-up lines is starting to sound pretty good, right?
Women can get themselves a better match if they take the initiative.
Now this is where things get interesting. OkCupid determined that people usually reach out to someone hotter than they are. Men, in particular, tend to message women who are on average 17% more attractive than they are. So by taking the initiative, ladies can make sure they’ll talk to good-looking guys, and it doesn’t have to end at looks. It’s also about the overall appeal of a mate, including their social status and interests. Overall, it’s a win-win for females.
Women have a better chance of finding love if they act first.
For most people on dating websites, the endgame is starting a relationship and finding their soulmate. And, yes, if a woman makes the first move, the probability of that happening goes up. Another online dating platform The League also conducted their own survey. They found out that 1 in 3 couples on their app started with a female messaging first, and those relationships that resulted in engagement saw women have “3x the initiation rate of a typical female user.” Conclusion: being a go-getter pays off, even in love.

Bright Side editorial wants to dedicate this article to everyone feeling down today. Simply choose any movie from this article and let it dispel at least a part of the clouds hanging above your head.
Life Doesn’t Come Again
IMDb: 8.1 This Indian movie is about a loving couple who are soon be engaged. But before making this important step, the couple decides to collect their friends and arrange some unforgettable holidays. They set a goal: to have as much fun as they can and paint the town red.

Same Kind of Different as Me
IMDb: 6.6 Ron Hall and his wife Debbie are a wealthy couple whose lives are pretty close to perfect. But even living such an idyllic life has its own issues that test the strength of their relationship. They meet some homeless people who end up turning their idea of life upside down, serving as sudden salvation for the family.
A Million Ways to Die in the West
IMDb: 6.1 The main character falls in love with a mysterious stranger and is ready to take on different things for recognition. It could be another “vanilla” movie about love in Wild West. However, it’s this very background that adds drive and edge to the movie.
One Wild Moment
IMDb: 6.3 2 old friends go on a trip with their daughters to sunny Corsica, where sandy beaches and new acquaintances are waiting for them.

C’est la vie!

From Naples With Love

Fortunately, he meets a shy school psychologist who promises to help him get closer to his crush. Instead, Ciro must help his new friend win the affection of his impregnable mother.
Tag
IMDb: 6.5 Men are big kids — at least, that’s what can be said about the main characters of this movie. Back in their school days, 5 friends started a game that became an advanced version of “tag.” However, the older they get, the more difficult it becomes to tag another participant. But because of this, they need to watch for each other in unexpected places, show up at their friends’ offices, and come up with new ingenious plans to take on. After some time, there was just one friend who had never been tagged. As luck would have it, he’s planning a wedding, and the groom will have to do his best not to let his friends catch him by surprise.
Alibi.com
IMDb: 6.5 Almost everyone needs a good excuse to skip a family dinner, to ditch school, or to leave their spouse for a day to spend some time with friends. That’s what Greg’s agency does: he and his friends come up with convincing alibis for their clients. Ironically, being the best liar in the world, Greg falls in love with a girl who cannot stand lies. What should one do in such a situation? Keep telling more lies in a more convincing way, of course!
The Hippopotamus
IMDb: 6.4 A number of “miraculous healings” in an aristocratic family has created quite the buzz. Of course, not everyone believes that a real wizard is living in the family mansion, which is why in order to understand what’s happening, they invite Ted Wallace, a disgraced poet, skeptic, and overall rowdy person. He is going to expose all the lies of the rich and manages to do it. But his revelation is not what he expected.
X+Y
IMDb: 7.1 Young Nathan is growing up and is a reserved but very smart guy. When his mother notices his mathematical talent, she finds a tutor for him. Humphreys, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and once took part in the International Mathematical Olympiad, becomes his teacher. And this time, it’s Nathan who is going to take part in the competition. But solving math equations is not enough. He needs to learn to communicate with peers, become less isolated, and even fall in love for the first time.
Eighth Grade
IMDb: 7.4 Most often it’s unique, strong, talented and somewhat weird people that become lead characters in our favorite films. But each of them has something special. However, Eighth Grade is a movie about a regular girl named Kayla. She’s an introvert who is trying to overcome the last week of eighth grade before moving on to high school. Despite the simplicity of the main character, the movie is far from boring and will make you feel nostalgic about your teenage years.
Welcome to the Sticks
IMDb: 7.1 The main character of this charming comedy is Philippe Abrams. He works high up in the post department of Salon-de-Provence, a city located in the south of France and dreams about moving to a paradise town not far from Marseille.

Suddenly our hero realizes that the atmosphere where he is going to live is not northern at all but rather warm and joyful, killing his old stereotypes.
Home Again
