Parents too ’embarrassed’ to play with their kids as they name singing and dancing the worst games, study shows
PARENTS have admitted they’re too self-conscious to play with their kids, with singing and dancing among the most 'embarrassing' activities. A study found 28 per cent of parents with kids aged between three and 12 admitted they felt ‘awkward’ when taking part in games, while a fifth end up blushing when playing with their children. A quarter try and avoid singing, dressing and playing sports, while a third want to steer clear of dancing. But some 73 per cent of the 1,000 parents polled said they’d made more of an effort over lockdown to get stuck in, to try and make up for their kids not seeing their friends. And despite 69 per cent avoiding certain games as they ‘can’t do it properly’, 84 per cent confirmed the lockdown had forced them to be more creative, and helped them get out their comfort zone.

Coronavirus digest: Brazil’s Bolsonaro tells people ‘stop whining’
Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro said on Thursday that people needed to "stop whining" about COVID-19 in his latest outburst against the protective measures to contain the crisis. The far-right leader's comments come as Brazil goes through its deadliest week of the coronavirus pandemic, with more than 1,300 deaths per day. "Stop whining. How long are you going to keep crying about it?" Bolsonaro said as he called for easing restrictions. "We regret the deaths ... But where's Brazil going to end up if we just close everything?" The South American country of 212 million people has had an outbreak of cases, partly due to a variant of the virus detected in the Amazon rainforest. Bolsonaro previously compared COVID-19 to a "little flu" and promoted hydroxychloroquine as medication, despite studies showing its inefficiency against the virus. At least 260,000 people died in Brazil because of COVID-19. Watch video 03:04 Share Virus runs rampant … [Read more...] about Coronavirus digest: Brazil’s Bolsonaro tells people ‘stop whining’
Former Domino’s manager shares ‘wrong order policy’ that gets you free food
A woman who claims to be a former Domino's manager has gone viral on TikTok after sharing a company 'secret'. Clarissa Hitchcock from the US made a video explaining why she believes the company's wrong order policy is the "best policy ever". In the clip, Clarissa responds to a prompt from @annaxjames which says: "If you have worked for a large corporation like a chain of a restaurant or retail place, I want to hear all of the secrets that only employees would know." The ex-Domino's employee replies: "Ok, so I worked at Domino's as a manager for about a decade and they honestly have the best policy ever if your order is wrong. "So here's what's gonna go down: You're gonna call and you're gonna say 'Hey, this is wrong with my order' and they have to do three steps. "First they have to apologise to you, then they have to give you exactly what you want and then they have to give you something extra." Clarissa goes on to explain that there is a catch - if you complain about … [Read more...] about Former Domino’s manager shares ‘wrong order policy’ that gets you free food
