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
How many times have you realized that you have committed yourself to three kids' birthday parties, a fortieth birthday party, a baby shower, and a wedding, all on the same weekend? The logistics alone turns you into a frenzied militant time More
As one of three kids, I always assumed I would end up having more than one child.
For me, having siblings around created a bond of trust and camaraderie. There were times we wanted to kill each other, like when my brother came running at me full speed, karate chopped me in the stomach, and pushed me into the washing machine when he was 13 and I was 15. But, aside from that brawl, we have always had each other’s backs regardless of the situation or who’s at fault, (which is usually my siblings, as I am the middle child, and therefore, perfect!)

This October will be my sons 1st Halloween. Last Halloween he was too small to take him trick-or-treating so we just bought him a costume and took pictures . This year he’s 1 yr old and we can finally take him . Long story short will I be judged if I decide to take him...
My 3 year old son is having a difficult time at preschool. He went last year and had a few weeks of drop off crying but quickly got used to it. This year, he’s perfectly fine at drop off (even excited to see his teacher and play with his friends) but every day when I p...

My daughter is 18, has always been a loving terrific kid and student with great talent and beauty. With that description, why isn’t the x boyfriend obsessed with her? Is this a self esteem issue? Or deeper? She caters to him, buys him things, caters to his family, u...

How many times have you realized that you have committed yourself to three kids’ birthday parties, a fortieth birthday party, a baby shower, and a wedding, all on the same weekend?

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...

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 ...
