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!"

Justin Baldoni puts Blake Lively legal feud on pause to awkwardly mingle with fans at Disneyland
Justin Baldoni was spotted at Disneyland's California Adventure over the weekend. He caught one fan named Carmen filming him and approached her to say hello. The It Ends With Us star, screenwriter and director was affable when he interacted with his fans. Several fans shared their videos to TikTok and Carmen, as happy as she was at getting to meet the Jane the Virgin star, 41, she was dismayed that now everyone was coming up to him. Another TikTok video showed Baldoni walking through the amusement park with a Star Wars t-shirt on. Fans had eagle eyes to spot the actor, who sported slightly overgrown hair, a full beard, and aviator style sunglasses. The Disneyland sighting comes as Baldoni is still embroiled in a legal battle with Blake Lively. The lawsuit that Baldoni filed against the 37-year-old actress, her husband Ryan Reynolds and her publicist was dismissed by a judge earlier this month, but Baldoni was left with the option to amend some of the complaints in the lawsuit to refile it. But on Tuesday, his attorney Bryan Freedman announced that Baldoni would not be amending any of his complaints in the tossed-out lawsuit. In statement to Freedman said: 'The Court's decision on the motion to dismiss has no effect whatsoever on the truth that there was no harassment nor any smear campaign, and it does not in any way affect our vigorous defense against Ms. Lively's claims. 'Discovery is proceeding and we are confident that we will prevail against these factually baseless accusations,' he continued. 'Instead of revising the existing claims, our clients will be pursuing additional legal options that are available to us.' Despite her initial legal win when Baldoni's lawsuit was dismissed, Lively hasn't been letting up on her own lawsuit, and she recently sent out a bevy of new subpoenas. A spokesperson for Lively also responded to the news that Baldoni was stepping back from his failed attempt to countersue her in a statement to 'The Court dismissed the frivolous $400 million Baldoni–Wayfarer lawsuit in its entirety,' they said. Several fans shared their videos to TikTok and Carmen, as happy as she was at getting to meet the Jane the Virgin star, 41, she was dismayed that now everyone was coming up to him. Seen here December 4, 2024 'In the days that followed, Baldoni's lawyer said the judge's decision to dismiss their case was not a big deal as they promised to amend and refile it. 'As per usual, that was not true,' her spokesperson continued. 'The Court's dismissal of Baldoni's sham lawsuit was a total victory after all.' Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoni's lawsuit two weeks ago, but he left the Jane The Virgin star a second opportunity to amend the suit by June 23. However, the judge ruled that he could only amend the allegations 'relevant to the claims of tortious interference with contract and breach of implied covenant.' The 132-page opinion broke down why the allegations in Baldoni's lawsuit were without merit, including the accusation that Lively, her husband and her publicist Leslie Sloane engaged in 'civil extortion.' 'The Wayfarer Parties cannot recover for Lively's alleged actions to steal creative control of the film from Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties. 'Regardless of the propriety of these actions, they do not constitute civil extortion under California law,' the judge said. 'California courts have recognized claim for civil extortion in situations where a plaintiff gives a defendant money or property under threat and seeks to have it returned. 'However, the Wayfarer Parties have not adequately alleged that Lively's threats were wrongful extortion rather than legally permissible hard bargaining or renegotiation of working conditions. 'Additionally, the Wayfarer Parties have not shown that some of Lively's allegedly extortionate acts damaged them.' When summarizing the extortion claim, the judge wrote: 'Lively, Sloane, and Reynolds have the better of the argument.' The judge also denied requests from Reynolds, Sloane and Vision PR for an award of attorney's fees and costs, in addition to a request from Lively for an award of attorney's fees, treble damages and punitive damages. The above motions were denied without prejudice in accordance with the ruling. Wayfarer Studios was founded by Baldoni and billionaire businessman Steve Sarowitz in 2019.

I'm a hairdresser – there's a phrase new clients say that's a total red flag… it crosses the line and annoys us
NO MATTER how long you've known your hairdresser, getting a big chop can always be a but nerve-wracking. But if you are going to a new hairstylist, there's one phrase you might want to avoid if you want to stay on their good side. 2 2 This is according to one hairdresser, to took to TikTok to explain how that all important client-hairdresser relationship can go awry. The pro, who goes by @mobilestylisthubclub online, dished the dirt on social media. So, what's the phrase you should avoid? Well, apparently if you tell your new styler 'my old hairdresser used to do my hair like this' before explaining, it might not go down so well. The hairdresser went on to share some tips for other professionals if they ever find themselves in the sticky situation. Rather than telling clients to 'go back to them then', the pro suggested a few alternatives. She said: "[You could] say, 'Rather than showing me how your old hairdresser used to do your hair, can you show me some images of what you're hoping to achieve and I'll see if they' will work with your hair type/texture?'" Not only that, but the pro urged other hairstylists to say something alone the lines of: 'I appreciate you may be nervous about having your hair done by another hairdresser, but you are in safe hands'. "Reassure them and help to calm their nerves," she said. Of course, clients might still not be completely on board, and if they keep bringing up how their old stylist would do their hair it might be no use. In the case, the pro said you might not be a great match for the client. "Do your best to offer the best possible outcome, and politely explain that you may not be a good fit for each other," she said. After sharing the advice, other stylists chimed in to share how they deal with similar situations. One said: "I normally ask what they liked about how they did it or I'll explain why I do it differently." A second chimed in: "I don't see this comment as a problem, if they liked it that way I would try to do it the way she wanted." "I don't see this as an issue," another agreed. Hairstyles that are kind to your locks Loose Braids: Opt for loose, soft braids rather than tight ones to minimise tension on the scalp and reduce breakage. Low Ponytail: A low ponytail is less stressful on your hair compared to high, tight ponytails. Use a fabric-covered hair tie to avoid snagging. Messy Bun: A relaxed, messy bun can be both stylish and kind to your hair. Avoid pulling your hair too tightly and use gentle hair ties. Soft Waves: Embrace your natural texture or use heatless methods to create soft waves, reducing the need for damaging heat styling tools. Half-Up, Half-Down: This style keeps some hair pulled back while leaving the rest down, reducing the strain on your scalp. Headbands and Scarves: Using headbands or scarves can keep hair out of your face without causing damage, and they can be quite fashionable. Loose Plaits for Sleeping: Before bed, loosely plait your hair to prevent tangles and breakage overnight.

Charli XCX hits back at 'fraud' claims after Glastonbury set criticised
Charli XCX has hit back at claims she is a "fraud" after her Glastonbury Festival headline set was heavily criticised. The Apple singer was headlining the Other stage Saturday evening, with a packed out crowd there to sing and dance with her. However, Charli came under criticism for her set, with many convinced she was miming or using autotune. She referenced the "boomer vibe" comments on her set in a string of Twitter posts. She wrote on X: "Like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a 'real artist' is like, the most boring take ever. yawn sorry just fell asleep xx "But to be honest… i enjoy the discourse. imo the best art is divisive and confrontational and often evolves into truly interesting culture rather than being like kind of ok, easily understood and sort of forgettable." She then added: "really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on my glastonbury performance. it's super fascinating to me," before thanking those who gave her five star reviews. During her big set, Charli XCX sang her song with Icona Pop, I Love It, as well her hit viral song Apple, which Gracie Abrams acted as the Apple Girl for and danced the TikTok routine. The singer was accused by fans of miming during her performance, where she headlined the Other stage on Saturday night, whilst Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts performed on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage. At the same time, the Scissors Sisters were performing on the Woodsies stage - and the venue had to be shut down as there were too many people there. Taking to Twitter/X, some fans blasted the singer. One wrote: "Oh ffs can't watch Scissor Sisters and Charli XCX is bloody dreadful. Could literally be any random person miming. WTF for a Glastonbury Saturday night, disappointing." Another added: "Predictable but shame nonetheless that charli xcx can't sing live #Glastonbury2025 #charlixcx FAKE." And a third said: "Charli xcx Embarressing [sic]that, turning up to walk around stage pretending to sing…" Whilst some weren't keen on her set, others loved it. "Charli xcx the icon you are #Glastonbury2025," one wrote, whilst a second added: "Charli xcx killing it." A third penned: "Charli xcx is taking over Glasto, she's bloody amazing."
