Yang Mi: I don't consider myself the perfect mother
10 Jun - As netizens began to change their perception regarding Yang Mi's parenting, the actress recently admitted that she does not consider herself the perfect mother.
In a recent interview with Chinese media, the actress shared that people have different definition of what a perfect mother is, and that she would never be perfect in the eyes of others.
"There are thousands of ways to be perfect in the eyes of a thousand people. We certainly can't be perfect in the eyes of others, so I think it doesn't take courage to admit that you are not perfect. It is a normal thing. Don't put too much pressure on yourself," she said, adding that one should try to be a good mother rather than a perfect one.
Yang Mi also said that when it comes to educating her daughter Noemie, she hopes that she can respect her daughter's wishes instead of controlling her. She revealed that her daughter loves painting and they would often paint together.
"Everyone is their own person. A mum who continues to grow, stays true to herself, and brings positive vibes, that is the most precious gift she can give her child," she said.
It was earlier this month that good friend Evonne Sie denied the notion that the actress was a negligent mother, saying that the actress would often talk about her daughter to her friends.

Parents' Social Dilemma—Is It Ever OK To Bring an Uninvited Sibling to a Birthday Party?
As a mom of six, I am constantly juggling schedules: I'll drop this one at dance class on my way to taking my other one to swim practice. And then my husband can take our son to the birthday party—but what to do with our preschooler and the baby? Given my daily balancing act, when I recently received an invitation that said siblings were welcome to join the celebration, I breathed a sigh of relief. For once, I didn't have to worry about what to do with my littles so that an older kiddo could attend a party. It's a delicate scenario for parents to navigate, and one that's getting a lot of attention on the parenting community forum Mumset, based out of the United Kingdom, where one parent asked a key question. "Am I being unreasonable to think it's outrageous to bring a sibling to a party and then put them on the table to eat with all the kids that were actually invited. Then take cake and party bag for them!? I would never do this but I don't know if I'm being mean about it." In a poll on the post, 95% voted that this parent is NOT being unreasonable. Supporters of the original poster commented: "People who do that are very entitled. It's almost like invites need to have a disclaimer on them." "I think even asking if the siblings can come is cheeky." Agree - really bad manners to do this. But other commenters raise a very valid point: child care. It's just not always possible to have someone else look after a sibling while your other child attends the party. That's where our experts come in. Wondering if siblings can tag along to a birthday party is a relatable dilemma for many busy parents. According to experts, the answer depends on many factors, such as how well you know the host, the venue, and the age of the birthday child. Of course, Genevieve Dreizen, a modern-day etiquette and boundaries expert and COO and co-founder of Fresh Starts Registry, says when in doubt, a good rule of thumb is just to bring the child who is invited. But if you find yourself in a bind with child care, clear, honest communication is the best policy—just don't wait until the last minute. You want to allow the host time to plan ahead, according to Olivia Pollock, Evite's Etiquette & Hosting Expert. 'It's totally OK to say something like, 'We'd love to come, but I don't have childcare that day—would it be okay if I brought little Joey?'' she tells Parents. Just be sure to respect the host's wishes. 'While some hosts lean into 'the more the merrier,' others might have specific budgets or be limited due to venue space,' Pollock says. Remember, cautions Dreizen, the host has a lot on their plate with planning and throwing the party, and whether you can find child care shouldn't add to their burden. That said, according to Jo Hayes, etiquette and parenting consultant, speech-language pathologist, and founder of when it's a party for younger children, a host may know to expect that siblings may attend. 'If it's for a 4-year-old, with parents expected or likely to stay, there's a strong likelihood the invitation is somewhat 'open,' with younger siblings potentially welcome,' she says. We all make mistakes! If you show up to a party with a sibling and it feels awkward, again, be honest. 'Apologize to the host, and let them know you miscalculated,' Dreizen counsels. Pollock advises offering to help out with handing out snacks or juice boxes to make up for the imposition. 'Being extra grateful and courteous can make even the most awkward situations not a big deal,' she says. It definitely helps to specify on an invitation whether siblings are included to prevent a faux pas from happening in the first place. 'The best parties are the ones where everyone knows what to expect,' says Pollock. When extra guests aren't included, she suggests adding a short note to the invite, such as, 'Due to space limitations, we can't accommodate siblings—thanks for understanding!' Indeed, as Hayes points out, ''Siblings not welcome' sounds rather impolite!' If another parent shows up with more little ones in tow than you planned for, Pollock's advice is to lead with grace. 'If the sibling's presence won't derail your plans, smile, roll with it, and file it under 'parenting happens,'' she says. If the addition does impact your plans—for instance, you only had enough pottery pieces for the invited kids to paint—experts say it's alright to set boundaries and let the parent know your situation. 'Just try to treat each other with respect and kindness,' says Dreizen. 'There should be an understanding from both the hosts and those invited that we are all trying to do our best.'

Uma Wang Men's Spring 2026: Big on Bhutan
Designer Uma Wang spent eight days in Bhutan last summer and was bowled over by how stylish men looked in their traditional robes, known as a gho, and striped fabrics galore. She also noticed they never carry bags, tucking their phones and other necessities into the folds of their tightly wrapped clothes, or in capacious pockets. In addition, they mix traditional garb with T-shirts and sneakers and she found that 'more than interesting.' More from WWD Paul Smith Is Feeling Hot Hot Hot Umit Benan Unveils First Boutique in Milan, a Members' Club for the Quality Obsessed Luca Magliano Takes His Cinematic Eye to the Screen for Spring 2026 With CineMagliano She translated all of this into her soothing spring men's collection, employing thick linens with the rumpled texture of burlap for suits, flowing rayon for loose pants and tegos — the loose jackets worn under a gho — and wax-coated drill for utility vests with enough pockets for a mountaineer to pack at least half a dozen sandwiches. Shanghai-based Wang has been quietly making menswear for a decade, selling it to about 80 wholesale clients and building it up to about a fifth of her business. She decided to host a presentation for the first time, inviting retailers and editors to her year-old Milan store with its rugged hardwood floors and industrial shelving. Imperfections are her thing, like a loose rayon fabric upon which she stitched strips of linen. 'The fabrics don't like each other, it seems like a mistake,' she said as a way to explain the rumpled appearance of the stripes, which pleased her to no end. She develops all of her fabrics in Italy, including a gray pinstripe realized with brown yarn that blobbed here and there, reminding you of when the Grinch was stitching his Santa suit and the tail of his dog Max entered the sewing machine by mistake. Wang also tried her hand at a gho, developing a lustrous jacquard based on a tiny swatch of fabric discovered at a museum, and at thin-soled sneakers, which could bring zing to many summer outfits.

This Case Forced Me to Completely Rethink How I Handle the Switch 2
The Nintendo Switch 2 is currently the featherweight champion of gaming handhelds—though largely because nobody can enter its weight class. No other device of its size—whether it's a handheld PC or another retro device—can slip so easily into a backpack without weighing you down, like you're lugging a sack of bricks around through every train station and airport terminal. That slim design comes with its own heap of drawbacks. The Switch 2 is a thin device with narrow edges that tends to dig into your palms. I've tried a smorgasbord of various cases with the Switch 2, but only Dbrand's Killswitch case has reinvented the console's ergonomics and kept it usable. The case tacks on extra bulk to Nintendo's design, making it extra comfortable and extra heavy. Until better alternatives come along, the Killswitch is how I plan to game with my Switch 2 going forward, even if my arms and back will complain later. Dbrand Killswitch Case for Switch 2 The Killswitch case is the best we've used to change the Switch 2 ergonomics, but at the expense of easy docking to a TV. Pros Cons Dbrand's Killswitch was one of the more popular covers for devices like Steam Deck. Valve's handheld is a more ergonomic device than Nintendo's, and the Killswitch merely extends the grips for larger hands while protecting the device's back and side plates. The version made for Switch 2 upends the look, weight, and feel of Nintendo's new handheld. Once you wrap the case around the Switch 2's screen and each individual Joy-Con 2, the handheld suddenly feels like something you'll actually want to hold. The case lets your ring fingers sit on a shelf while your pointer digits handle the trigger and bumper buttons. The texture for each rubberized Joy-Con 2 cover keeps your hands from slipping off. With the Joy-Con 2 controllers detached, I didn't need to wrap my finger lengthwise around the SR button or mouse sensor like I typically do without the case. The only downside is that the Joy-Con 2 covers don't sit completely flush with the controllers. Since the controllers are more side-heavy, you'll want the covers to make easy use of mouse controls. The Joy-Con 2's slim design doesn't allow for a comfortable, ergonomic feel in mouse mode. With the grips on the Killswitch, my fingers found a much more amenable position whether I was swiping on my couch's armrest or the end table in front of me. By itself, the $60 Killswitch case makes the Switch 2 much bulkier than it is normally. It's so big, it won't fit into the official dock. The kit comes with an extra dock adapter you slip over the dock's USB-C port. To hook the Switch 2 up to a TV, you need to hover the handheld's exposed USB port over the male USB-C end and eyeball your unit until you can line it up correctly. It's an awkward way to fix a problem created by the case itself. You can keep the main plate off the Switch 2 if you intend to dock as you would normally. If you do, make sure you don't adhere the kickstand protector to the handheld. Even that small piece of plastic makes the Switch 2 too thick to fit into the dock. That also means if you plan to be traveling with the dock to a friend's house, you need to take the dock adapter, too. If you are going to be running around with the Switch 2, you'll also want to opt for the $80 Travel version of the case that comes with a large plastic cover and magnetically attached game card holder. The cover uses a bungee cord to wrap around the Killswitch case to hold everything in place, though you'll need to unlatch it to access the Switch 2's bottom USB-C port. The game card bandolier held onto my cards no matter how much it tumbled around in my backpack, though the magnets may be almost too strong, as it takes finger-straining force to remove it from the cover. All together, the Killswitch case makes the Switch 2 feel more comfortable to hold for longer. It also makes the device feel heavier, more than if you had merely stuck your device into a slim, felt-lined case. I haven't had the opportunity to check out Nintendo's official $40 Carry Case & Screen Protector or the company's $85 All-In-One case. As of writing this page, in order to get one, you have to register your interest with Nintendo, then hope you get called up to be the first to go hands-on. Thankfully, you have so many options if you would prefer something lighter. I've received $20 cases from both Snakebyte and Power-A for testing. If you can find them in stock, either one will serve you well with sturdy covers. Each has enough space for 10 game cards apiece. If it weren't for the need for a dock adapter, the Killswitch would be an easy case to recommend. The dock has caused havoc with other accessory makers' case designs. Genki also sent me its $50 Attack Vector case and grips, which could have made Nintendo's new console more ergonomic without needing a case. In that time, both I and other early users quickly identified an issue where the Attack Vector fits too snug inside the dock. This could potentially damage the screen if you force it down too hard into the slot. In an email, Genki related this to 'production-related issues' and said it was working on a new version to address those problems. We'll have to revisit Genki's alternative another time. If you're truly keen to protect your device, you'll also need a screen cover. Nintendo's Switch 2 comes stock with a thin plastic film over the glass screen. While this is designed to prevent your Switch 2's display from shattering into a thousand tiny pieces, it also leaves the device more scratch-prone than other, similar devices. It was the same problem with the display on the Switch OLED, which also used this plastic film. You're better off finding a screen protector for your Switch 2, and I've already tried several so you can get an idea which one is best. Genki sent along its $20 Aegis Shield protector, while Dbrand provided us with its $35 Prism 2.0 ($20 if you buy it alongside the Killswitch). Both offer very similar plastic plates to help you line up the screen protector with the Switch 2 display. You only need to clean the screen with a microfiber cloth and alcohol wipes, plant the plastic piece over the console, and then pull the slip of plastic film back to reveal the actual screen protector. Both work well enough, but depending on how straight you pull back on the internal protector, you may still be left with air bubbles you need to manually squeegee out. High-end accessories inevitably make the $450 Switch 2 cost more. Just remember, cheaper cases aren't necessarily worse. If you want a lightweight console, you'll want a case that's more mundane.
