  • I hate play dates!

    This summer I found out there was a little girl that moved in down the street. I had seen her dad walking her to school and she ended up being with my daughter in summer care. The father finally introduced himself and started talking about having play dates with the girls which I reluctantly agreed

  • Doing the Zombie Walk

    Dealing with some major changes in my life has made me realize that I cannot remember the last time I had an honestly happy day. I cannot remember the last time I came home from an outing and felt like I had a fantastic time. I cannot remember the last time I had a good, long laugh. I cannot remembe

  • Passing on your GOOD habits

    In the past year or so, I feel my life has gone to shambles. It feels like I´m always trying to play catch up with bills, chores, my child´s schooling...everything. I can never get home and relax because there are always ten things I need to take care of. I see women who are always on top of every

  • Why do men say they like this type then go for that one?

    This is a real quick survey that I´m hoping will shine some light on male behavior. Why is it that men say they like one type of woman and go for the complete opposite? I have seen it a ton of times and I´m a little baffled as to why this happens. The most common one I hear is that men like a low

  • Too Many "Bentleys" in this World

    Am I the only one baffled by Bentley's behavior on the Bachelorette? Yes, I know it's not all real, but, Bentley actually reminds me of most men. Bentley never actually admitted what was going on in his head...that he was hoping the Bachelorette was Emily. Instead, he told Ashley a string of lies un

  • User Post: The Art of Saying 'No'

    I am preparing myself for my soon to be 'poor student' status. I am returning to school full time after 9 years! And, this time, I'm going in with an actual goal and a single mom of an almost 7 year old. I am starting to think the hardest issue I will face is saying 'no' to my friends. We're now in

  • User post: I'm the "beer goggles" girl! Help!

    What does it mean when men only make out with me when they're drunk? I've been thinking back to my dating experiences and the only time men seem to find me attractive (i.e. anything physical) is AFTER the drinks come. Yes, yes, we all know we lose our inhibitions when we drink but I can't remember t

  • User Post: Financial peace... how do I get there?

    Is it normal to wake up in fear? I'm not talking about being scared of the boogie man. I'm talking about waking up not knowing how you're going to survive your day. You don't know how you're going to pay your next bill or if you're going to be able to feed your child. What if you can't make your cre

  • Just a friend...?

    I´ve had a crush on one of my male friends for quite a while now. We became friends when I was his supervisor. During that time he was married but then went through a nasty divorce soon after he resigned. We have stayed close since then as far as being friends and sharing stories and advice. We bot

  • User Post: Losing the Brat Battle

    Recently I have felt more exhausted than usual. I've been trying to pinpoint the reason and, though it could be many things, I realized that I think it's coming from my six year old, dramatic daughter. Has anyone ever told you that your child's bad behavior is payback for how you behaved with your p

  • User post: Always the Bridesmaid, Never the Bride

    I am a bridesmaid in my long time friend's wedding. Today was her bridal shower and as I sat there watching her open her gifts, I realized that none of it really makes sense to me. The idea of a wedding is lovely. The idea of falling in love, enjoying all the perks of the engagement, having a weddin

  • Getting the Milk for Free

    I´ve been doing online dating for two years now. I am a full time single mom with an almost non-existent social life so I decided to hop online and see what was out there since I don´t venture out enough to meet anyone. It has definitely been an interesting experience full of good and bad but most

  • Too comfortable?

    I've ran into a strange feeling. The feeling of not believing there is anyone out there for me. I've never thought I'd end up alone until recently when I've just ran into some bad luck. Some say I'm jaded and that this idea of mine holds no truth but I have become convinced that there is no man out
