‘Latte Dads' are the latest Swedish parenting phenomenon — and American moms are extremely jealous: ‘Ridiculously hot'
Swedish dads are taking paternity leave — and turning up the heat. Meet the Nordic nation's so-called 'latte dads' — stroller-pushing, baby-wearing hunks who spend their days on generous paid time off benefits sipping coffee in cafes, chatting about diaper rash, and somehow looking like H&M models while doing it. 'One of the things that stood out to me was all these mostly ridiculously hot guys that are just better with babies than any woman I've ever met,' Chana Svensson, who moved from Florida to Sweden while pregnant, told TODAY in a recent interview. Advertisement 'It's something in the water here.' In America, new mamas are lucky to get two weeks before heading back to the office with a breast pump in one hand and a spreadsheet in the other — never mind the papas. Swedish dads are taking paternity leave — and setting parenting (and hearts) on fire. These Nordic hunks aren't just changing diapers — they're changing the game. tiktok/@babybjorn Advertisement In Sweden? Dads like Chana's firefighter husband Johan are off the clock — and on baby duty. 'It's something special, being home with him by yourself from the beginning, for sure,' Johan told the outlet. Though he added, 'A lot of grey hairs were born for me during that time.' Thanks to Sweden's sweet-as-a-pastry policy — a whopping 480 days of paid leave per kid — moms and dads can tag-team diaper duty straight through the terrible twos. tiktok/@babybjorn Advertisement Thanks to the country's cushy policy — 480 days of paid leave per child — Swedish couples can tag-team childcare well into toddlerhood. The government foots up to 80% of your salary, and parents can use the days any time before the child turns 12. Back in the US, that sounds like a fantasy to exhausted moms like Erin Erenberg, co-founder of the Chamber of Mothers. 'We are really, truly at the bottom of the heap when it comes to paid family medical leave,' she told TODAY. Advertisement @babybjorn Spotted: Latte Dads in the wild. 👀 This fun term describes dads on parental leave, grabbing coffee while out with their little ones. But did you know? In 1974, Sweden became the first country to introduce parental leave instead of maternity leave—giving dads a bigger role at home, and paving the way for the nurturing Latte Dad. 👶☕ #babybjorn #lattedad #lattepappa ♬ original sound – BabyBjörn 'Every other country in the world has it, except for micro islands.' Erenberg watched a satirical 'latte dad' TikTok video by Baby Björn and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. 'I was jealous!' she admitted. In the comments section of the viral clip, one user wrote, 'Positive masculinity is so attractive.' Another gushed, 'Beautiful! That's the type of masculinity we want to see.' Others, however, were calling Captain Obvious. 'Not men being celebrated for taking care of their own children,' one wrote as someone else replied, 'love how they praise men for *normal parenting.*' New Swedish dads who take paternity leave are also far less likely to booze themselves into the hospital, according to a 2023 Stockholm University study. 'We found that after the [fathers' paternal leave policy in Sweden] was implemented, there was a 34% decrease in [alcohol-related] hospitalizations among fathers in the two years after birth,' wrote lead author Helena Honkaniemi. Advertisement 'Fathers who spend more time at home may also be encouraged to practice greater behavioral self-regulation around their children,' the report noted, as previously reported by The Post. Since Sweden introduced paid parental leave in 1974, the number of days claimed by fathers has jumped from just 1% to 30%. When dads were granted 30 days of leave in 1995, participation shot up to 75% — along with noticeable mental health benefits. Advertisement Today, Swedish parents get a whopping 480 days of job-protected leave to split, most of it paid at about 80% of their salaries. Overall, who knew equal parenting, great cheekbones, and government support could be so… sexy?

This Miami area mall was just voted best in the country. Here's why it's No. 1
Aventura Mall fans already know it's the best mall in the United States. Now the sprawling shopping center has national recognition, too. The Northeast Miami-Dade mall, a city unto itself with plenty of offerings and surrounding traffic jams, plays big. There's a big slide, an Apple Store, an Italian food hall and market. Now it also has a big ranking: Best Mall in America, as voted in the new USA Today 10 Best Readers' Choice Awards. 'Being named the best mall in the USA Today 10 Best Readers' Choice Awards reflects our continued commitment to curating exceptional experiences,' said Jackie Soffer, chairman and CEO of Turnberry, the majority owner of Aventura Mall. 'From welcoming Florida's first Eataly to bringing the most coveted fashion and lifestyle brands, and supporting culture through our museum-quality art collection, we're proud to offer a premier destination that continues to evolve. We thank our loyal guests for their continued support and for making this achievement possible,' Soffer said in a statement to the Miami Herald. Eataly isn't the only first-in-Florida to open at sprawling Aventura Mall. Other brands trying Florida firsts in the last year include recent arrivals like Massimo Dutti wardrobe store, the fashion boutique Cinq à Sept, Dolce Vita footwear and Kim Kardashian's Skims store. MORE: How 'Florida firsts' are defining Aventura Mall. Here are some of the newcomers Twenty malls across the country were nominated for consideration by a panel of 'USA Today experts' in the fields of travel and lifestyle, according to the publication. The public was then given a chance to vote among the nominees. The only other Florida mall to contend was the Mall at Millenia in Orlando but it fell short of the Top 10. Sorry Dadeland, Aventura's also ever-growing Kendall-area rival that recently opened the first Dick's House of Sport in South Florida. MORE: Why is Aventura Mall both loved and loathed? It comes down to more than shopping Top 10 best U.S. malls So why is Aventura ranked above the others. 'As the largest mall in the state of Florida, Aventura Mall has more than 300 retail shops, experiences, and dining options, and boasts a museum-worthy art collection,' opines the USA Today 10 Best editors. Here are the 10 best malls in the nation, according to USA Today's Readers' Choice Awards. ▪ 1. Aventura Mall, Florida. ▪ 2. Mall of America, Bloomington, Minnesota. ▪ 3. Galleria Dallas, Texas. ▪ 4. The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards, New York City. ▪ 5. King of Prussia Mall, Pennsylvania. ▪ 6. Scottsdale Fashion Square, Arizona. ▪ 7. American Dream, East Rutherford, New Jersey. ▪ 8. Grapevine Mills, Texas. ▪ 9. Tysons Corner Center, Virginia. ▪ 10. Brookfield Place, New York City.

Suzy Welch wants to help you live a more authentic life
Suzy Welch's "Becoming You" students get a keychain of values, named by Welch. On the right is "Non Sibi" (Latin for "not for self"), representing a "life-organizing principle of altruism." Courtesy Suzy Welch My favorite is eudemonia , for the principle of self-care, recreation, and pleasure. Welch, a these 15 values after years of studying academic research, observing how people make choices, and paying attention to what stops them from living the life they want. No value is good or bad, she says; they're only a problem when we don't acknowledge and live by the ones we care the most about. 'We come loaded with personal values in a certain ranking, and yet, 99.9 percent of us are not fully expressing the values we hold,' said Welch, 65, a Harvard Business School grad, known for her columns, 'Today' show appearances, books such as ' Get Love Letters: The Newsletter A weekly dispatch with all the best relationship content and commentary – plus exclusive content for fans of Love Letters, Dinner With Cupid, weddings, therapy talk, and more. Enter Email Sign Up She began working on 'Becoming You' — a method for figuring out what you're meant to do with yourself — in 2020, not long after the death of her husband Advertisement She was grieving while trying to figure out what was next and what was important to her. 'I was trying to become me. It's the most meta story in the world. … I think this is why, when I see somebody have a 'Becoming You' breakthrough … it's so personal for me. It's like, 'Fellow traveler — hi .' Advertisement Welch launched her 'Becoming You' methodology with MBA and In May, she released a book, 'Becoming You: The Proven Method for Crafting Your Authentic Life and Career.' (She'll talk about the book with CEO of Boston Globe Media Linda Henry at the Welch wants to reach as many people as possible with 'Becoming You,' which also has a Later this month, she'll host her first people like educators, life coaches, and financial planners, who can use the work with their own students and clients. 'People kept on saying to me … can I get certified in this?," Watch said. 'Finally we went to NYU and said, 'Can we set up a certification program? And NYU was wonderful and said 'sure.'' Suzy Welch's "Becoming You" at a local book event. Aram Boghosian 'There's a whole section in the book about aptitudes and what you're good at. I think there's been a Advertisement As Welch puts it, 'If you're going to live and support yourself, pay the mortgage, and all the other things, you've got to know what you're good at — and your economically viable interests." There are obstacles, of course. Welch devotes a section of the book to 'The Four Horsemen of Values Destruction,' what she calls the roadblocks that stop us from staying true to what we want. More on that later, too. Welch happened to be unfurling her 'Becoming You' classes as people came out of COVID lockdown, questioning why they made certain choices. They were introspective and ready to do some work. As an advice columnist and relationship writer, I'm interested in how and where people find help, whether it's through therapy, books, counseling, coaching, or other avenues. Suzy Welch lectures during her "Becoming You" seminar at New York University in June, 2024. Vincent Tullo After jumping into Welch's work, I did have, as Oprah might say, an A month ago, I bought a bike. I'd realized, after a few vacations, that I enjoy biking on a safe and scenic path. The other day, I rode my brand new bike in great weather; I felt like I was 6 years old, with no cares in the world. I was shocked at how free — and myself — I felt on this bike. Later, I felt guilty. Who was I to be running around — on a Wednesday! — on this bike? How dare I not be working or helping my loved ones? Advertisement Welch's book and method had an answer for that. After taking Welch's questionnaire, I learned a big, maybe simple thing: I value free time and fun activities more than I've ever admitted to myself. I would have guessed my one major value was 'workcentrism,' perhaps followed by what she calls 'familycentricism,' but the latter wasn't even in my top five. Welch said people are often surprised by their results. 'They're staring into the face of something they've been denying or repressing. … The phrase I hear the most is, ' This explains everything .'' During our interview, Welch told me I might have been lying to myself about prioritizing my family — perhaps in martyr-ish ways — without making me feel like a jerk. She is good at talking about uncomfortable things. Her style, to me, is a mix of CEO, journalist, influencer, friend, or 'fancy aunt who does not put up with your nonsense.' She shares personal stories and moments when she admits she was a bad mom or scared about her life choices. I attended two Welch events during her recent visit to Boston, including one at MIT, where she spoke to a mostly student audience, some of whom seemed very freaked out about their career prospects amid federal budget cuts. Welch was quick to talk about her own mistakes. She quoted 'Moonstruck' and referenced 'The Iliad.' She spoke about waiting out fraught moments in economic and political history, and acknowledged that many people are in one, so they might as well be honest about what they want. In the audience was Abby Witkin, a longtime Welch fan, who held a copy of '10-10-10,' Welch's guide to decision making. Advertisement Witkin started reading Suzy Welch's columns about business and life in 'I was like, what a perfect thing to do for my birthday — go into a class where you're actually looking at the intersection of all of these [values], and you're trying to find your area of transcendence.' Witkin said she always knew she really liked work , but the program helped her accept that it was OK to love it more than a lot of other things. '[Suzy] doesn't call it workaholism. It doesn't have a negative connotation.' I'm still diving into all of this, especially Welch's ideas about those Horsemen that stand in the way of us living our values (my issues are all about a fear of economic instability). I know this is all very self-helpy, but in Welch's words, she wants us in an area of transcendence. I get glimmers of it when I'm writing, and absolutely when I'm on that bike. 'Look, you can go through periods of your life where it completely ebbs away from you — because life happens. You get a divorce, you get fired. … But then, if you know this stuff about yourself, and you know what the picture of your authentic life is, you can fight another day,' she said. 'But those moments when you're living authentically — that is when you're very exquisitely alive, that's your purpose — and they're worth fighting for. It's worth doing."
