Are meds a deal breaker when dating?

When we recently read this very popular post at Frisky about whether or not you'd date someone who takes antidepressants, we got curious. You've been very open here about everything from smoking secretly to getting a tattoo. Some of you, no doubt, are very wary about dating someone who takes medications regularly. And some of you might take a certain medication regularly -- say, antidepressants, or anti-anxiety drugs -- so this question might really hit home. The very honest writer of the Frisky post -- Leonora Epstein -- openly explains that: "As someone who has been on antidepressants for more than half of ...

What’s the right thing for this single mom to do?

We're big Facebook fans. But we know that sticky situations can arise from Facebook. After all, we've commiserated with a single mom whose ex unexpectedly contacted her via Facebook. We've also admitted to one another that we've done a bit of snooping, and we've vigorously debated about posting kids' pictures -- or not. When this single mom contacted us about her dilemma, we knew we had to ask YOU for your advice. Frankly, it never occurred to us that a relatively harmless bit of "Facebook investigation" could lead to such drama. Here's what happened: This single mom of a sweet nine-month-old boy is ...

Do you worry about your father-less son?

When we read this recent, emotional post by Los Angeles Single Mama --"What A Boy Wants, What A Boy Needs…" -- we just knew that we HAD to share it with you. This thoughtful single mom -- like many of you -- is raising her son alone, without the involvement of this father. (Count Dr. Leah among that "club," too! And she promises to comment later about her own experiences raising a "father-less" son.) So, we'd love to know if you relate: When her son was just three years old, LA Single Mom taught him how to play baseball. "By four," she ...

I’m pregnant, it’s complicated

Wow, we've had a string of emails this week from new readers (thank you!!) and we bumped this one to the top of the pile. This woman could use your advice ASAP. Here's what's going on: She and her co-worker have been dating for the past year and they've kept their romance hush-hush in the office. In fact, she has NOT said a word to anyone about their love life. And he hasn't either. Office romance isn't as taboo as it used to be, as long as the relationship doesn't interfere with the company bottom line, right? They both excel at their ...

Have you ever used an IUD?

When we read about the woman who Tweeted about her abortion recently, we thought what many blogs are now saying out loud, such as Babble.com: "Oh No She Didn’t: Woman Live Tweets Abortion." When we researched a bit further, however, (bear with us here, beyond the hype) we realized that this story raises some important questions. You see, 27-year-old Angie Jackson is the single mom of a special needs four-year-old son. She lives in Florida with her boyfriend -- and she says that after a difficult and life-threatening first pregnancy her doctors advised her to not get pregnant again. That's why Jackson was using an ...
