So my plan to move out of my parents house is getting me a little confused. I don't want it to be all about me. I want to put my daughter's interests in mind. She's so attached to her Grandpa who she cutely calls 'papa'. She...

When is it the right time to introduce the new partner to your children? Do you tell your children who this person is or you tell them he/she's a friend and wait until they figure it out themselves?

Having been raised by mom alone, I cannot help but wonder if i will be depriving my kid with the security of growing up in an environment where there is mom and dad. I love my baby's daddy and he treats me well, but cannot get...

Very recently (about a week), my husband has moved to another city for work. It's a great opportunity for our family but I really don't know how to cope. I had a baby a month ago and my emotions are all over the place right now,...

I thank all of you for your very insightful responses about the situation with my kids' father. I tried my best to just do the right thing after he finally gave me the address. I was wary of taking my kids to his house, so it was...

I'm really torn in this situation; at an impasse as it were. My children's father is trying to get back into their lives. That isn't a problem; I grew up without a father in my life due to his choices, so I want my children to...

I just read an article in my local paper that stated pretty convincingly that the economy crunch is affecting mom's much more than dad's this holiday season. I would have to say that I agree with that statistic. For one I am a...

Do you think it is okay for a single woman to adopt a child? What about a single man? Is it okay? I mean, it may be legal, but do you think it is the right thing to do for the child?

I am 26 yrs old. I moved back home after my husband left me and our baby. It was just prudent at the time as I couldn't afford the apartment and care for my son.
It was been almost 5 years, my parents have grown hugely attached...
