Spanish parents are set to go on strike over the copious amounts of homework given to their kids.

Children from 12,000 schools across the country will be told not to do their homework for the whole of this month.

Kid sticks to his Creationist guns when given science homework

The Spanish Alliance of Parents’ Associations (CEAPA) called the strike, arguing homework is detrimental to kids.

In a recent study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Spain’s youngsters were found to have 6.5 hours… Read the full story

I know there’s a lot of big stuff going on in the world right now.

The U.S. election. Looming/maybe not looming Brexit. Our overwhelming dependence on technology and our inability to form human connections.

But that’s all just a giant distraction from the real issue at hand.

The real issue at hand being – of course – f***ing sourdough bread.

Sourdough bread is a perfectly acceptable type of carbohydrate. In theory, I should love it. I love bread of all types. Sourdough bread is apparently easier to digest, which is nice.

You’ve probably never stripped off and wandered around the streets of London.

And if you have, it probably wasn’t a particularly elegant strut. More like a mad dash on a dare, or a drunken stagger.

So no, it’s unlikely you looked quite as graceful as the dancers in Jordan Matter’s new book, Dancers After Dark.

Photographer Jordan Matter gathered up professional dancers and got them to dance, well, after dark, around iconic spots in London.

Oh, and they were all entirely naked.

Look, we’re all giant children and so we will get excited at any mention of a bouncy castle, a big slide, or jelly and ice cream.

And of course, if there’s a ball pit around, we are diving in and never coming out.

So rejoice, Londoners. Because yesterday, November 4, a new ball pit opened in London.

But this is not just any ball pit. This is a ball pit filled with all manner of delights. And 200,000 balls.

BallieBallerson is a brand new popup ball pit bar in Dalston, running from November 4 to December 31 2016.

Paddle8 describes itself as the ‘Netflix for collecting’, and it has already auctioned off some pretty cool items.

When people call themselves a collector, they normally mean they collect relatively mundane things like stamps, records or postcards.

But Paddle8 are targeting people with much more unusual and exciting interests.

Being a mum to one boy takes some getting used to, but having three is a whole different ball game.

From the medal-winning Brownlee brothers to Hanson, from the wholesome Brady bunch to the fabulous Hemsworths there are famous bands of three brothers everywhere.

They were all young once though and no doubt their mothers had a full time job keeping them all in check.

Some of these things may sound familiar if you have more than one boy at home.

So you thought having a nerdy boyfriend was a great idea? Think again.

The nerdy one in the movies is always the cute guy, the one who is secretly, or not so secretly, the better boyfriend.

But in reality, all these fantasies about nerds being more romantic, more organised, and appreciating you more are just that – a fantasy.

There’s a lot of talk about things you don’t understand and you might not hear from him for hours… sometimes days because he’s busy. Doing something.

Here’s 17 things you will have to cope with if you have a nerdy boyfriend.

Why would you ever move out when you can live in luxury with your parents instead?

Over the years, you’ve seen some of your friends move out with the promise of freedom and excessive partying only to be met by the harsh realities of sharing bathrooms with strangers and damp bedrooms.

During this time, you’ve been practically living like a member of the royal family with your parents.

There are never worries about the heating, or random house mates stealing your baked beans.

And then there are hidden perks, like the free taxis and well-stocked food cupboards – all good reasons to simply stay put.

1. No bills

With millions of young people trapped in an expensive cycle of private letting, teamed with a government not keen to do anything to do anything to solve the housing crisis, more and more UK citizens are becoming part of Generation Rent.

With dodgy landlords, outrageous letting agent fees and rent that shoots up if a half decent restaurant opens within 500 metres of a property, it can be pretty grim renting in the UK at the moment.

From having unfulfilled dreams about interior design to unhelpful comments from grandparents, here are a few things anyone who’s had… Read the full story

We seem to forget that cats are very much unlike dogs. 

While a dog will love a life-size version of their toy, cats will be terrified. You should know how cautious your kitty is before planning to surprise them as a giant toy – but apparently one cat-owner totally forgot about this.

And so he approached his cat as his ‘favourite’ toy shark – as the poor cat was snuggled up in his own, cat-sized shark.

As the owner, Jeff Cerulli, walked into the room, ready to receive a joyous load of affection from his furry friend, he was pretty gutted to find that all his pet cat wanted to do… Read the full story

You might think your new role as a mum or dad won’t change you, but it kind of will, and probably in ways you didn’t expect.

Laid back people can’t keep taking it easy with a toddler in tow and organised folk will never be completely in control of their time again. It’s going to be a challenge.

Don’t try and resist the changes. Here are some of the things it’s best to just embrace.

If you asked your boyfriend for a puppy for your birthday last year and he didn’t get you one, look away now. 

Because the birthday card and gift this girl received is going to bring up a whole heap of envy that you didn’t even know you had in you.

Claire Halleran was left overwhelmed after opening a birthday card, which showed a picture of an adorable baby pug on the front, from her boyfriend.

Not just because of the cute picture – but because of the message written inside, which read:

Claire,

I know how happy the picture on the front of this card will make you…

‘No dancing alone,’ the invitation read.

As a single, independent woman, that gloomy phrase sounded like the opposite of a good time to me, yet there I was, alone, heading off to The Last Dance, an immersive theatre event in Hoxton.

The dress code – white T-shirt and blue jeans – also gave me cause for concern.

The only plain white T-shirt I have is the dull affair I only ever wear to stop my shoulders getting sunburnt on holiday.

I paired this with some jeans I panic-bought in M&S just before the event, because I… Read the full story

Women’s magazines get a bad rep for the way that they talk to women.

While in the most part, the modern women’s mag is more interested in your career than your thighs, taking a look at this bonkers feature from the early 1970s, it’s easy to understand how the earned that reputation.

Before you have a baby, you assume that when it happens, everything will run smoothly. The moment you give birth your boobs will get bigger and you’ll start lactating like mad.

So imagine then the heartbreak and confusion which must occur when breastfeeding turns out to be much more challenging than anticipated.

Guys, the EAT Christmas lunch menu is here!

When one new mum found that she wasn’t producing enough milk for her baby, she wrote a brutally honest Instagram post about her breastfeeding struggles.

‘The feeling you get when your newborn cries for milk is hard to describe,’ writes Heyona, from California.
