Day 242: News Flash

We're under four weeks away from our due date now, and we continue to keep our eyes on the parenting news we see streaming past each day. But some of the studies that are getting press seem more like common sense than research.

Last night Mary discovered an article on a study which found that new mothers who get plenty of rest are more likely to get back to their normal weight after delivering their babies. So the women who aren't too tired to exercise are better able to lose weight?? Duh.

Or this one, which answers an age-old question: is there a correlation between parents' activity levels and their kids'? That's a tough one!

But the one that really made me shake my head was this one, whose headline wins the award for "most obvious": Bad Behavior in Youth Linked to Career Problems Later.

Good thing we're watching the news!
