Visit exhibits that will interest your kids.
Whether you’re at your local history museum or the Louvre, don’t try to rush through as many exhibits as you can. That will just make your kids (and you) tired and cranky! Instead, pick out a few exhibits that your kids will find interesting, like dinosaurs or electricity, and just visit those. That way, your museum adventure will be a lot more fun and relaxing.
MAKE MUSEUMS FUN FOR YOUR KIDS 3 Tips to Make Your Visit More Kid-Friendly
Make the visit interactive.
Just meandering about reading placards all day will leave even the most studious children watching the clock. If you want your kids to enjoy the museum, then you’ve got to make your visit engaging. Try looking at the museum’s exhibits online before going and creating a scavenger hunt for your kids to follow with fun directions, like “Find a painting with two babies making silly faces,” or “Tell me how many pterodactyls you can find in the dinosaur exhibit.” Your kids will be way more engaged in the exhibit, and they might learn something to boot.
Editor’s Note: While museums may be closed for the foreseeable future, we wanted to share this guide in honor of International Museum Day on May 18 to help you plan future adventures. Please check with your local museum for updates and safety precautions before visiting. School is out for the kiddos, which means that for the next few months, they’ll have six extra hours in the day and no idea what to do with them. Why not set aside some of that time for an educational and fun adventure? International Museum Day comes this month on May 18, making now the perfect time to plan your next visit. Your kids might think museums are boring, but we’ve got you covered. Here are some ways to make their next museum visit fun and exciting.
Take a food break or visit the gift shop.
If your kids aren’t too excited about visiting a museum, a little incentive to get them to go — like taking them to the museum’s food court or purchasing them a keepsake from the gift shop — never hurts. Even if that’s the only thing they enjoy about the museum, they will still have positive memories associated with their visit.
Navigating Divorce From a Narcissist
Many people may come across as boastful or self-absorbed, but in rare cases, people are affected by narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), a mental condition characterized by a pronounced lack of empathy for others. According to research published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, approximately 7.7% of men and 4.8% of women suffer from narcissistic personality disorder. What are the symptoms of this disorder? According to the Mayo Clinic, people with NPD often exhibit:
Not surprisingly, narcissists tend to have a hard time maintaining a healthy marriage and often end up in divorce court. Although the ex- spouse will benefit in the long term by divorcing a narcissist, the process can be a nightmare.

an exaggerated sense of self-importance
a sense of entitlement
a need for constant, excessive admiration
There’s one thing you must know about those with NPD — they are “in it to win it.” They are extremely unlikely to seek compromise or an outcome that both parties can be happy with. Instead, they choose to use the legal system to terrorize and subjugate their ex-spouse and may do things like run up the legal bills for both parties or try to paint a picture of their ex as totally evil or awful. A narcissist will complicate the proceedings in one way or another. But there is hope. With the right legal team and the right strategy, you can defeat narcissistic strategies that can otherwise ruin your life.
