Mom Films Herself on the Toilet to Show What It Feels Like to Be the 'Default Parent'
'We stand in solidarity,' Brittany Thorn, a mother of two in Los Angeles, tells TODAY.com.
This week, Brittany shared a TikTok video that illustrated her role as the 'default parent.' The informal term is designed for those (usually moms) who manage most of the childcare, housework and family decisions — even when another parent is willing and present.
In Brittany's video, she is sitting on the toilet when she hears a familiar voice call out, 'Mom! Mom!'
Brittany's 4-year-old son, who had just finished eating breakfast with his father, John Thorn, wanted a snack.
'I'm going to the bathroom,' Brittany told her son in the video. 'Ask your dad — you literally walked right by him to get to me.'
Comments on Brittany's video showed the commonality of the problem.
'I will be on my deathbed. Paralyzed. Blood coming from every orifice. And my kids will still walk past their dad to get to me.'
'I will be at work and my husband at home with our children and they will text me.'
'I was laying on the couch. My toddler was sitting at the dining room table with dad. She got up from the table, then walked to the living room to ask me for a snack. I was like, 'You can go ask your dad.' She looked at me like I was insane.'
'The other day, my kids asked me if I could pull over so they could take a picture. I wasn't even the one driving!!!'
'My kids will stand up from the couch NEXT TO THEIR DAD and come outside to ask me to get them food. No???'
'They have been sitting on his lap and gotten up to ask me for something.'
'I bought myself a shirt that said, 'Go ask your dad.' It helped.'
Brittany tells TODAY.com that she is the 'default parent' for her two sons, ages 4 and 8.
In her video, Brittany had just settled into the bathroom when she heard her youngest call for her.
'I told him, 'I was just with you — you knew where I was going!' says Brittany. 'I said, 'You had to walk past your dad to come here and ask me for something.''
According to Brittany, her husband tries his best to manage the children, especially when she's on the phone and amid the 'morning chaos.' She says that sometimes the word, 'Mom!' can feel like 'background noise' to her husband.
Brittany admits she is the 'softer' parent who says, 'Yes' more often than her husband John.
'Sometimes, I say, 'Whatever — even if I don't want you to have that snack, if you're driving me crazy, I'll let you have it,'' says Brittany. 'Whereas, my husband is more likely to have a conversation about why the kids shouldn't have chocolate-covered pretzels for breakfast.'
John agrees, telling TODAY.com that their children usually get the 'honey' from mom.
'When they want something questionable, they may feel they get more of a 'Yes' out of mom,' John says, adding that there are occasions in which he serves as the 'default parent,' when it comes to baseball or bike riding.
Brittany said that day, her 'default parent' responsibilities were as extensive as a trip to the bathroom.
'I finished my business and when I came out, my son was already onto something else,' says Brittany. 'Whatever he needed was not actually important.'

People Are Holding Nothing Back When Describing Their Extremely Difficult In-Laws, And I Really, Really Feel For Them
Reddit user u/fuzzyloulou recently posed the question: "Married people of Reddit, what's something you just hate about your in-laws?" "Hate" is a pretty strong word, but most people responded with some genuine grievances they have with their in-laws' behavior. BuzzFeed Community members also chimed in with some gripes of their own. Here's what people shared: 1."We have more money than my MIL, and she is so jealous of my husband's success. She'll make fun of our vacations, say she'd never live in a 'snobby' place, wouldn't work as a corporate exec, or drive cars that weren't made in America. We don't put anything on Facebook or anywhere else. I guess his sister tells her? But she always posts about how her son thinks he is so great. You know what? He fucking is. Sorry, he came from broke ass, miserable people and made a success of himself. You'd think she'd be proud of him. It's all envy disguised as disdain. What mother gets mad when her kid does well in life?" —kestrelh 2."My MIL? I love her; she's great. My FIL? He cheated on my MIL with her sister, and still sees said sister every week while somehow still remaining married to my MIL. He bought himself and the sister a new car while my MIL drives a 20-year-old F-150. When he's home, all he does is drink Budweiser from 11:00 a.m. on and watch TV. And, he complains about everyone else in the family. He doesn't come to his grandkids' birthday parties, and instead just hands us cash to go buy something and to say it's from him. On several occasions, he's been at nice dinners and gotten drunk and belligerent to the point of embarrassing everyone with him." —u/Tiberius_Jim 3."The way they travel. They constantly need to overpack, shop for stuff to take home, etc.. It always results in half a dozen overweight suitcases and carry-ons that they then ALWAYS have to reorganize to handle the weight. They ALWAYS expect everyone in the group to pack light to accommodate in case they have to dump their stuff on you. I hate it, and it ticks me off every time." —u/Sorry-birthday1 4."When we go to my in-laws, we never leave the house. We sit in the den, watch TV 12 hours a day, and listen to my FIL crap on anything and everything he sees on the idiot box. We finally told them that the condition for our coming was to turn off Fox News. It's not just because he's 84 and a grumpy old man. He's been doing this for the past 30 years. Everybody and everything is 'stupid,' except for him. It's just this constant stream of negativity. My MIL isn't much better. She will sit there and talk about everybody else under the sun and how foolish those people are. I've started leaving for a couple of hours for a sanity break. I have to demand that my children go visit them once a year." —u/AnybodySeeMyKeys 5."My MIL treats her son like a baby. She also says things like, 'No one can love you like I love you,' and seems to assume I'm just using her son for money and childcare…because she was like that when raising her kids. Other than that, she's a super funny and charismatic person. I try to give her the benefit of the doubt, as she's just a protective mom, but I can say I will not be treating my children or in-laws like that." —u/oo0Lucidity0oo 6."My MIL asked my husband's whole family to wear crosses to our wedding so it wouldn't be 'godless and satanic.' Why? Because my mother was officiating. She stalks my 11-year-old stepdaughter, who is no contact with said MIL due to extreme panic attacks whenever she has to see her grandmother. gave me an individually wrapped dish sponge for Christmas last year." —elizabeth_pearl_1105 7."My MIL isn't too nice to the kids. Granted, she has 15 grandkids, but you can tell which ones she likes which she likes less. My kids are in the middle." —u/wclure 8."My in-laws are terrible with money. They filed for bankruptcy and then decided not to make some payments. So my husband and I took over their finances and put them on a budget to make ends meet. Are they grateful? Nope!! When we tell them they don't have money to go out to eat, we get told that we don't care about them. It got so bad that we've told them not to talk to us anymore. We manage the finances, but any communication to us has to go through one of my husband's siblings." —alley2024 9."Their concept of time. They're all always shamelessly late to everything. And, they act like it's a cardinal sin to be early. They think they're 'early' if they stroll in just in the nick of time. For example, I've told them, 'We have to be there at 7:00, and it's a 20-minute drive, so we should leave by 6:35 at the latest. So, you need to be at our house at 6:30 so we can load the car.' 'Why so early? I'll be at your house at 6:45.' Then, they show up at 6:55 and can't understand why I'm angry. And, we get to where we're supposed to be at 7:15, and they can't understand why everyone there is mad. At least my husband has gotten better about it. He still hates to be anywhere early, but he plans and takes steps to be on time, not late." —u/MrsPottyMouth 10."My former MIL was always on the selfish side and 100% had her favorites. She went out of her way to tell me she took a religious oath a long time ago to prevent her children from marrying people of MY religion, but she was okay with it since I'm not practicing. Fast forward many years, sadly, our only child passed away from childhood cancer, and my mother passed less than a year later. The upcoming Mother's Day was the first for me without either my child or my mother, so I was a wreck. I'm a motherless child and a childless mother, but she had to play it up that SHE was more distraught because of the loss of her grandchild than I was over both, so that she could get my husband's attention. She is a miserable woman who can't stand not being the center of attention." —mengram76 11."They have four kids, and the only boy is their favorite. They ignore their daughters, which includes my wife. The heartbreak she feels every time they blow her off to go spend more time with their son is gut-wrenching. They took him to Vegas on her birthday two years in a row." —u/korar67 12."The way they come over to my house unannounced. They just show up, then get mad at me for being in the shower or not at home because I'm running errands. I know I'm a stay-at-home mom, but dang, I still have to go run errands outside the house. I also don't like the way they insist they can have our baby whenever they please, without our permission." —u/LoveOfTheLee 13."My in-laws are racist, and I'm Mexican. They've never made comments directed towards me specifically, but they have made comments about Mexican immigrants. My parents are immigrants, and my in-laws know this. I stopped going to any event with them, and thankfully, they moved out of state. My partner spends holidays with them, and I stay and enjoy the holidays with my family. I haven't seen them in two years." —darlingcath 14."My FIL called my wife and her three sisters 'whores' all while standing in MY house. Reason, you ask? They all got married outside of the Catholic faith. We haven't spoken in six years. Best six years of my life." —u/Patrick2337 15."My MIL is the cheapest woman I have ever met. I have hundreds of stories and examples. Last Christmas, she gave me a can of nuts from Goodwill. She said she didn't feel comfortable getting us a wedding gift. She won a cruise to Alaska and took our son, which was very sweet, but she refused to pay for anything during the trip. They ate sandwiches in the room and spent most days walking around Juneau. He wanted to come home on day two. I have fixed things, helped her move, mowed her lawn, and done a dozen other things. She has never once bought dinner as a thank you or to celebrate a special event. Years ago, we had a bad time and asked if we could live in her house for two months. She insisted on charging us rent. She has missed funerals and weddings because she will not pay for travel or a hotel. I will stop now because I could go on forever." —u/brt309 16."I'm pretty sure my MIL has never heard the word 'no.' Apparently, I introduced it to her because she thinks she can just announce she wants to visit or say she wants this or that, and expects everyone to comply. Here I came along and was like, NOPE! Safe to say we don't have a great relationship and have moved away from her TWICE!" —lulu98 17."The gossiping about us to anyone who will listen. And, the guilt trips. Every single guilt trip tactic to get us to drag our family of four across the country to go see them. Also, they were absolute trash parents to my husband. They both allowed physical, mental, and verbal abuse to run rampant, and now have the audacity to expect a relationship with their adult child." —u/Ninjaher0 18."Where to start? They are racist bigots who, despite only being Christmas Christians who haven't been to church in 40 years, didn't like their son marrying a Jew. We bought their house over 20 years ago, and my MIL has not said anything nice about anything we've changed, as though it should have been kept a shrine to her style. They moved away years ago and have only visited their son maybe three times. They made a trip to the state once without telling him because they were visiting his uncle and didn't visit their son. And when we first bought the house, I, a Jew, did my best to host a festive Christmas for them, only to be told they wouldn't return for Christmas ever again because it 'wasn't what they were expecting.' I could go on for hours with examples." —jbdnco 19."My MIL still blames me for moving her daughter away and can't believe we moved for better economic opportunities 11 years ago. She will call my wife and cry almost every other night about how she doesn't know how much time she has left, and she refuses to visit, even when we offer to pay the travel expenses. She puts on this poor-me sob story every time we visit. My GOD, just STFU!" —u/Zantabar 20."How critical they are of my partner. He is loving, kind, smart, and unique. Nothing he ever does will ever be enough for them. As a result, he has major anxiety and perfectionist issues. He's hard on himself and constantly apologizes for minor things. I wish he knew how awesome he is. For this reason, I've chewed out both his dad and mom, but they were clueless. What issues? If things were different, I'd love to be close to them, but I see how dysfunctional they are and am totally okay with zero contact." —u/Spletzi 21."Mine used my wedding as their own personal photoshoot, often taking their son/my groom away to snap family pictures. They then posted all the pictures of themselves in the group chat, and only one of me, which was just of my back at the altar. They also managed to get a photo of just the groom cutting the cake alone, without me in the photo, though we were obviously standing close together. I don't think they were malicious; they're just very self-centered people with zero social awareness." —u/Charming_Foot_495 22."The number one thing is that they are drama vampires. They can't live without it. Everything is about them; if it isn't, it will be soon. They are cartoonishly childish, and it's as ridiculous as it is sad. I feel terrible for my spouse and her siblings. Every family get-together is a mess. Number two is that they can't make a plan without overcomplicating the ever-loving crap out of it, which my wife has inherited." —u/Studlum 23."I judge my step-MIL because she posts EVERYTHING on Facebook. I swear she can't take a poop without posting." —u/MalpracticeMatt 24."They are good people, but also the pickiest eaters I have ever met. It has to be genetic. Their entire diet consists of Rice-A-Roni, overcooked, baked chicken, and Ragu pasta. They will not venture out and try anything that they deem too 'exotic' or potentially mildly spicy. For example, chicken tacos sound too wild for them. It has to be Taco Bell-style ground beef." —u/Tbonejak 25."I get along great with my MIL and FIL as individual people and have close relationships with both, but good god, they have a horrible relationship. It's really awkward sometimes. I have no idea how or why they are still together. They literally hate each other. Early in our relationship, I attempted to gently inquire about what I had observed after getting to know my wife's parents a bit. Before I even finished asking, she casually said, 'Yeah, they should have divorced a long, long time ago. We (her siblings) all think they need to give it up.'" —u/chillin_trashpanda 26."How fake they are. They just care about their image and how they appear to others. Very little, if anything, is genuine about them." —u/Unhygienictree 27."I absolutely love my in-laws, but compared to my family, they are REALLY loud. Like, instead of taking turns talking, they just talk louder over each other until someone listens. I leave with a headache, including when I sneak to an empty room for peace." —u/kannakantplay 28."The constant criticism. I married their only son, and nothing I do is good enough. My house is never clean enough, my 1-year-old doesn't 'behave,' and my cooking sucks. The passive aggressiveness is so overwhelming." —u/BAM151822 29."My husband's mother and two sisters really went out of their way to make me feel unwanted and disliked early in our marriage. They judged me, gave me the cold shoulder, and criticized everything I did. Joke's on them. My husband and I have been married for 30 years. So, I learned a lesson: Screw the naysayers. Haters gonna hate." —u/heyjudemarie 30."They are terrible with money and have tried to drag my immediate family down with them. I've had to stop acting like an ATM for them, and they're resentful that we won't support their BS anymore." —u/Alternative_Let_1599 31."My MIL refuses to discuss anything that bothers her. She just goes dead silent for a moment, then pivots to a different subject." —u/LaComtesseGonflable 32."My step-MIL could definitely be represented here. She's a piece of work. She's a teacher but literally hates children; all she does is complain about her horrible students, who are kindergarten kids. And often she treats the grandkids like she would rather be anywhere else but with them. She also has some really bizarre hang-ups about my husband's mom. My FIL and MIL divorced almost 30 years ago, and yet, step-MIL felt it necessary to bring up during my recent baby shower that she and FIL had now been married longer than he and MIL. She did this out loud to other people while my saint of a MIL was no more than three feet away. Why would that even matter?! She's an odd bird." —SFoxy 33."My in-laws are very nice people, but they have two things that really bug me. They have never-ending visits, and they do this with their entire family. I don't want to have house guests for two weeks. Second, they don't help at all when they visit. You used a cup, and you just saw me load the dishwasher? Put the cup in the dishwasher, not the sink. My son is autistic and has been known to get out of the house. Just keep an eye on him if I step away for a minute. Don't tell me he left the house and just sit there. When he was a baby, no one ever offered to feed him, change a diaper, or even give me a break to nap and just play with him. It's exhausting." —yesitsmissa 34."My wife's dad is a very 'I'm right, you're wrong' kind of person. If he's not right, he refuses to admit it and will just leave and not speak to you for a long time. Then, he'll show back up and act like nothing happened." —u/SaiyanGodKing 35."I adore my FIL and step-MIL. They are supportive, welcoming, and fun. They are both really Type A and 'super planners,' which can sometimes be a little irritating, but we have a huge family, and their organization makes for seamless and enjoyable family gatherings. I love my MIL, but she is not the most pleasant person to be around. She is very passive-aggressive and is one of those people who always wants to be miserable. When we get together, she spends most of the time complaining about how her sons never want to see her. She also recruits them to do things for her (which they would happily do) by implying that they owe her because 'I gave birth to you!' It's just exhausting." "Everyone would probably make more of an effort to spend time with her if every time wasn't a passive-aggressive guilt trip. She is better one-on-one, so I try to find ways to hang out with her alone because we get along well. I just wish she would let everyone relax and enjoy the time together." —la0912 "There's nothing I really hate about my in-laws, but my MIL occasionally says some things that give me pause when she's in the room. For example, she wished me a happy birthday recently, to which I casually replied, 'Just another trip around the sun.' My comment resulted in a 20-minute lecture about how the sun actually orbits the Earth, based on her visual observation of it rising in the east and setting in the west every day. I often wonder how much of my partner's childhood trauma is a direct result of her mother's 'unusual' beliefs." —u/officehelpermonkey What's the most frustrating thing your in-laws do?

The Strange Beauty of New York's Bodega Ramps
You probably use them without thinking. Bodega ramps are all over the city. They're not exclusive to delis, of course. Lots of small shops have them. They're anonymous creations, improvisational, typically concrete... ...roundish... ...frequently distressed... ...and occasionally featuring some flourish of color or scoring. Supported by Tom Wilson caught sight of a lumpy, makeshift concrete ramp in front of a bodega called Ultimate State Deli in Brooklyn one afternoon. Wilson is a photographer who teaches earth science in New York City public schools. He had passed Ultimate's ramp a million times without registering its existence. But that afternoon, in the slanting sun, the ramp's grooves and contours reminded him of a photograph he'd seen in a textbook of a glacier. Spilling from a doorway to bridge the height gap to the sidewalk for hand trucks, strollers and wheelchairs, the roundish ramps can bring to mind glaciers … … or tongues or clamshells or lava … … or ziggurats or thumbs or ladles of pancake batter spreading on a griddle. The ramp is a Rorschach test. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Huntington Learning Center of Russellville Earns MSA-CESS Accreditation
Russellville, AR August 12, 2025 --( )-- Huntington Learning Center of Russellville announced today that it has received full accreditation from the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS), officially effective April 11, 2025. This prestigious accreditation places the tutoring and test prep center among an elite group of K–12 institutions and learning services providers that have met rigorous standards of educational quality and integrity. For River Valley families, the achievement affirms that Huntington's academic support programs uphold the highest levels of excellence, accountability, and student success. What is MSA-CESS? The Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS) is a globally recognized accrediting body dedicated to advancing quality in education. With more than 3,000 accredited schools, systems, and educational service providers across the United States and in 117 countries, MSA-CESS has been a leader in school improvement for over 130 years. The organization evaluates K–12 public, private, charter, and independent schools (among others) against comprehensive standards to ensure they provide an effective education and commit to continuous growth. Earning MSA-CESS accreditation is a mark of distinction that signals an institution meets stringent criteria in all aspects of its operations—from teaching and curriculum to governance, safety, and student services. A Rigorous Accreditation Process Huntington Learning Center of Russellville undertook a thorough self-study and evaluation process, measuring its programs and performance against Middle States' research-based standards. To earn accreditation, the center had to show it meets Middle States' standards in areas such as mission and objectives, governance and leadership, staffing, educational programs, information and technology, student support services, health and safety, facilities, financial stability, and continuous assessment and planning. This rigorous validation process ensures that only institutions truly dedicated to high-quality education and ongoing improvement receive the Middle States seal of approval. 'Accredited learning providers undergo rigorous evaluation, reflecting a commitment to excellence and a focus on student achievement,' MSA-CESS notes in its standards. This process ensures accredited institutions uphold the highest educational standards and a resolute dedication to ongoing enhancement. Huntington Learning Center of Russellville's successful accreditation is a testament to the center's diligence in meeting these benchmarks and its drive to deliver outstanding tutoring and test preparation services. What This Accreditation Means for Families For families in the River Valley, Middle States accreditation offers an extra layer of trust and assurance. It means the Huntington Learning Center in Russellville is held to the same high standards as accredited schools nationwide. Just as parents wouldn't send their child to a non-accredited college, they can be confident in choosing an accredited tutoring and academic support program that has been vetted for quality and results. MSA-CESS accreditation signals that Huntington's curriculum, instructors, and outcomes have been independently validated to meet rigorous criteria. Parents can be confident that Huntington adheres to the same level of quality embraced by top educational institutions, ensuring that students receive a top-tier education experience. In practical terms, this translates to highly qualified, certified teachers, research-based methods, and measurable academic growth for students. Huntington's proven approach to personalized tutoring and test prep—from building reading and math skills to SAT/ACT exam preparation—has demonstrated effectiveness, and the Middle States review verified the 'proven results of the Huntington methodology' in helping each student succeed. Accreditation also underscores Huntington's commitment to continuous improvement. Even after 27 years of working with Middle States on accreditation for various centers, Huntington embraces a culture of regularly updating and enhancing its programs. For River Valley students, this means they will benefit from an environment of excellence that is always striving to get even better – whether it's through updated curriculum materials, teacher training, or new program offerings aimed at maximizing student success. A Message from Our Center Director John Crawford, Center Director of Huntington Learning Center of Russellville, expressed what this milestone means for the local community. 'This accreditation is more than just an approval – it's an affirmation of our mission and the deep commitment Ashly and I have to supporting local students,' said Crawford. 'As proud members of the River Valley community, we have always believed in making a difference in the lives of our children. Earning the Middle States accreditation shows that our Huntington center is delivering the absolute best in tutoring and test prep, held to the highest standards of quality. We are thrilled to bring this level of excellence home to the River Valley. Our families can trust that when their child comes to Huntington, they are getting world-class academic support right here in Russellville. Ashly and I will continue to work tirelessly – hand-in-hand with our schools and parents – to ensure every student in our community can reach their fullest potential.' (John and Ashly Crawford, longtime Russellville residents, opened the local Huntington Learning Center with a shared passion for helping children succeed. Both have extensive backgrounds in education and community leadership, and they view the center as a partnership with local families and schools to lift student achievement. John serves as Center Director, and Ashly assists in operational leadership of the center.) Continued Program Participation and Funding Opportunities One immediate benefit of the MSA-CESS accreditation is that Huntington Learning Center of Russellville remains eligible for key state educational programs and expands access to new funding resources. In Arkansas, accreditation allows Huntington to continue as an approved provider in the Arkansas Children's Educational Freedom Account (EFA) program and the state's Literacy Tutoring Grant initiative. The Education Freedom Account program – a new education savings account (ESA) launching statewide – enables families to use state-allocated funds for approved educational services, including tutoring. Likewise, the Arkansas Literacy Tutoring Grant provides funding (up to $500 per eligible K–3 student) for extra reading support through state-approved tutoring providers. Huntington's accredited status means local families can confidently utilize these scholarships and grants at our center, knowing we meet all program quality requirements. Beyond state programs, Middle States accreditation can open doors to additional federal funding opportunities and partnerships. Accredited institutions are often given priority or eligibility when applying for educational grants, participating in federally funded initiatives, or forming collaborations with schools. For example, Huntington centers across the country have leveraged their accredited status to access grant funding and state resources that further enrich their services. In Russellville, the center will now explore new avenues to enhance its offerings – from expanding curriculum and technology to providing supplemental programs – all made possible by the credibility that accreditation confers. Ultimately, maintaining accreditation is part of Huntington's pledge to be accountable and accessible. 'This recognition ensures we can continue working with programs like EFA and the Literacy Grant, which make our services more affordable and accessible to families,' noted Crawford. 'It also challenges us to keep improving and innovating in how we serve students, as we tap into new resources to better support our River Valley schools and learners.' Next Steps for Parents: Experience the Difference With accreditation in place, Huntington Learning Center of Russellville invites families to experience the center's programs and see first-hand the impact of an accredited academic support partner. Parents are encouraged to book a comprehensive academic evaluation for their child to identify their needs and goals. This evaluation is the first step in crafting a personalized tutoring or test prep program – whether a young learner needs help closing reading gaps or a high schooler is aiming for a higher ACT score. By acting now, families can take advantage of Huntington's newly accredited programs and, if eligible, apply available EFA or literacy grant funds toward their child's tutoring plan.
