I joke that I am a “woke mom.” Not only am I a mother to two teens, and not only was I once a pretty savvy teen myself, but I also get to hear the inner lives of teens every day in my office as a therapist, which keeps me current. I remember once, More
I recently published my first chapter book for children, A Girl’s Dream to Play Little League Baseball with Boys. The themes of my memoir are grit, persistence, and tenacity in achieving your goals despite the boos, jeers, and name calling that can happ More

My husband and I have definitely drifted apart over the years. We have 2 girls ages 11 and 8. I think we stay together for their sake, and well divorce is expensive. He does NOT believe in divorce. He is a good dad and a good provider, but not that good to me. There ...
There are lots of articles online about over 40 pregnancies. Most are written about first time parents (I already have 2) or from people who are still in the thick of the baby years (basically they are still in their 40s and writing about it). I don't see a lot of pers...
Me and my husband have been together for 26 years. Over this time I have caught him having more than just a friendly relationship twice. Once was online about 22 years ago. The second was about 4 years ago with a woman that he worked with. I don't how far that really wen...
My son recently fell during Cross Country practice and dislocated his elbow. He has to sit out the remainder of the season, cannot tryout for basketball, cannot play the guitar. I want to let him wallow a bit, but I also want him to see all that he can do. I did try...
I'm at a loss here. I have a soon to be 10 year old daughter and 4 year old twins. My oldest has been peeing on the floor of her bedroom since before my husband and I decided to have more children. Its stopped for a few years and recently started up again. I've taken her...
I really appreciate what people are saying. And I believe that the value in letting them learn now not necessarily a college manager cost a lot more. They don’t pay for their phones and they aren’t working during this time so I’m mulling over a mixture of how to mi...
We have 16 yo twin boys. We still make them turn their phones in at 10 on school nights later on weekends. We still don’t let them have them all the time. Is it time to loosen that stance?

Let me just start by answering my own question…a resounding YES! Acupuncture for children has a long, rich history beginning in China and (insert excited emoji here), it’s gaining popularity in the States!… More
I recently published my first chapter book for children, A Girl’s Dream to Play Little League Baseball with Boys The themes of my memoir are grit, persistence, and tenacity in achieving your goals despite the boos, jeers, and name calling that can happen to you on your life’s journey. I overcame those obstacles by believing I was doing the right thing in playing little league with boys when it was the first year that girls were legally allowed to play: 1975. I thank my parents and my brother for being my greatest cheerleaders in seeing me cross the sidelines to play little league with boys…. More

You ladies gave me really good advice when I recently posted about having a crush on another man. I don’t think the crush will go anywhere and I’m working through my feelings about it and taking a class from a different instructor. My problem is I still don’t feel ...
I’ve been married for 9 years and have two kids. We’ve had sex maybe 4-5 times in the last year and I half, since my second son was born. I don’t find myself that attracted to my husband anymore. I recently developed a huge crush on the guy who teaches my workout ...
Just wondering if anyone had a kid whose hair changed color as they got older, I.e. a blond kid who went dark brown. At what age did this happen? Just curious!
I'm looking for some friendly and unbiased advice. I have some neighbors who are married that I like a lot, and feel like they are my friends. I'm a divorced female and have lived across the street from them for 6 years. When I'm outside and see the neighbors I visit wit...
My 7-year-old son was being very aggressive towards his baby brother and I yelled at him and told him to go to his room. Later, I noticed that he had written "I wish I were dead" not thinking that I would see it. I told him I was very concerned and he said he feels like ...
Has anyone noticed changes in mood (either positive or negative) after weaning? I'm nursing my 15-month-old before bed and in the morning and I'm thinking about weaning, just wondering what to expect.
Good morning! Has anyone had their spouse of sig other give you the silent treatment after a fight, big or small, and how did you snap them out of it or change the way they handle things? My boyfriend who is 35, goes right into his "cave" anytime he is upset or overw...
