Adorable Dad's day in the life TikTok trend shows '50/50' parenting
TikTok's latest trend is a wholesome one this time, with father's sharing the behind-the-scenes moments of parenting in a series of candid clips - from 4am mornings to late night feeds Dads are taking over TikTok with this latest trend, showcasing the positive work these men do as parents, from when they wake up in the morning right up until their heads hit the pillow. Many viewers are praising the idea for showing these fathers in a positive light, as presentparents who are both active and enjoying raising their children. Making it all the more fun, the 'day in the life of a dad' videos are set against the 2009 throwback hit from the Black Eyed Peas, Imma Be. It sees the men starting off the video in the morning as they mime the lines "I'ma be on the next level", before moving on to the next line as they approach the next step in their routine. In one particular video, by the creator @Kidds_Dad, his typical dad day starts off at 4am, where he kicks off thinking of a 'wake up with baby'. The quick clip shows him working two different jobs in the day before playing with his child in the evening, before ending the day at 8:30pm for a 'movie date' with his wife. Viewers were quick to comment and praise his daily dad routine. One user shared: "This is what a good dad does! Parents, housework and provides. It should be 50/50! Comments like 'What does the mum do?' Errr…her 50% also! It's not just the mother's responsibility to parent or clean the house!" Another viewer added: "It's so nice to see a husband so involved and being a good dad and a supportive partner!" While someone else commented: "it's so nice to see a husband so involved and being a good dad and a supportive partner!" Well-known online dad Masonn Varney, who makes up part of The Varney Family on TikTok, took part in the trend and, as a result, racked up one million views. Starting off at 10am with a 'brunch date' with his daughter and ending at 7:30pm for 'face mask time' with his kids, the creator's video was hectic, to say the least. A viewer took to the comments to praise him for all the fun he's having with his children. They wrote: "Probably my favourite one yet! Your girls will remember this." In a standout addition to the trend, one dad showed the realities of feeding a newborn baby and timing his bottle feeds. The video received a lot of attention, making note of his feed times starting right at 4:30am and going on until 10:30pm that same day. An impressed user related to the 'day in the life' style video and commented: "My fiancé did the majority of the night feeds for the first 6 weeks so I could heal. And if I did get up and say, 'No, I'll feed him; you sleep,' he would still get up and make the bottle and get me a diaper before going back to bed. Teamwork makes the dream work!"

Models lured to sick 'Porta-Potty' Dubai parties by men lavishing them with gifts
Dubai is known for its glitzy lifestyle that draws hundreds of social media influencers and reality TV stars - but inside, there's a dark secret that has sparked concern for the welfare of women travelling to the popular tourism hotspot. Models have been lured to sick 'Porta-Potty' parties by men lavishing them with gifts as we look at inside Dubai's dark underbelly. These twisted gatherings - reportedly organised by wealthy men - lure young models and influencers with promises of tens of thousands of pounds, luxury gifts, and lavish hotel stays, reports the Mirror. But behind the glitz lies a horrifying truth, including acts of extreme sexual degradation, physical abuse, and potential legal peril for the women involved. An influencer sparked concern on TikTok after sharing extravagant gifts bought for her by a stranger she met at the gym on Wednesday. Jade, who goes by @outplayedbyjade online, is originally from France but travelled to Dubai as she documented her trip online. In her video, she explained how she had been leaving the gym when workers approached her with a gift from someone she had met on the treadmill. "I didn't think much of it," she explained in the video. A worker handed her a bouquet of flowers and chocolate from the man she had struck up a conversation with. Flattered, she texted the number he had left with the gift to thank him, after which she then received a call from a shop assistant at the luxury jewellery designer store Van Cleef & Arpels. "I'm a very curious girl, so I make my way over to the shop," she explained. "This assistant pulls out a beautiful bracelet and a matching necklace." All together, the gifts were worth around £3,000. And while Jade was over the moon with her gifts, fans were quick to warn the influencer that he was a "professional" and to "be careful" amid reports of men recruiting women for " Porta-Parties" in Dubai. There was no information to confirm the intentions of the man spoiling Jade. Maria Kovalchuk, a 20-year-old Ukrainian adult model, who was reportedly left for dead after attending one of the Porta-Potty parties. Maria vanished after telling her mother she'd been invited to stay overnight with two men claiming to be modelling agents. She never made her flight to Thailand. Ten days later, on March 19, she was found dumped at the roadside in Dubai, suffering from a shattered spine, broken limbs, and severe internal injuries. Maria has undergone multiple surgeries, and her family, now at her bedside, are desperate for answers. It's thought she is still recovering from her injuries. Dubai Police confirmed that Maria is receiving medical care, but claimed she 'entered a restricted construction site alone and fell from a height'. A statement many find hard to accept, given the disturbing rumours swirling around her disappearance. Russian lawyer Katya Gordon, who has followed the case closely, bluntly alleged: "Model Maria Kovalchuk was found dying on the side of the road in the UAE after a party. The scandal with the Porta Potty parties has been raging for over a year." Gordon and others allege that Maria may have been forced to take part in a sex act involving human faeces - a central theme of these "Porta-Potty" events, where humiliation and abuse are part of the package. These parties reportedly involve women being paid vast sums of money to perform grotesque acts involving bodily fluids, degradation and pain. Viral videos have helped expose this shadowy world, but the abuse is largely hidden by Dubai's shiny reputation and strict censorship laws. And the women involved in these parties could even find themselves prosecuted. Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai, has warned that women involved in these parties - even against their will - could face charges of adultery or indecency, especially if married men are present. "Sex outside marriage has been legalised in Dubai, but organisers have exploited this. Women think they're attending a private party - instead, they're thrown into horrific, dangerous situations with real legal risk," Stirling said. Maria's mother told Ukrainian media: "She has no documents, no phone, nothing. She's had three operations. She can't speak. We were told she went to a party, but the promoter claims he never saw her. We're terrified of what really happened."
