What does “still best friends” really mean?

Recently, Rachel wrote about a guy with whom she recently went on a few dates. Well, he seems to be surrounded by a posse of exes who regularly hung out together. That got us thinking: Are you friends with any of your exes? It’s one thing to remain in contact with the father/mother of your [...]

We’re still interested in Nadya Suleman. Are you?

The ongoing saga of Nadya Suleman, also known as the “Octo Mom” has been dubbed America’s most controversial story. And, I must admit, I am following every twist and turn.

Have you heard about the man who can’t even “buy” a date?

Our hearts go out to that dear so-called Dateless Doc who once offered a $200,000 bounty for a wife.

Beware of the “marriage museum”

Rachel and I have spent the weekend de-cluttering — on both coasts. While Rachel was sorting through outgrown kid clothes –  along with items from the deep end of her closet — I’ve tossed the last keepsakes of a defunct relationship.

Sexting and the art of parenting

If you haven’t yet heard, Facebook recently changed its terms of service (TOS) — and we’re not the only ones up in arms. Here’s what you need to know: It all started on Sunday, when Facebook revised the wording of its policy over what happens to profile content–shared items, blog post-like “notes,” photos–when members delete [...]

I’m worried about my child’s future relationship choices

Solo Dad recently asked Dr. Leah this thoughtful question through Twitter: “I wonder about my son’s future relationship choices and how they will be affected by the role his mother plays in his life.” A bit of background here: Solo Dad has sole custody of his son, who’s in middle school. Likely,  “wonder” means “worry”– [...]

Here’s to the men we love

We started to write this really mushy Valentine’s Day post about finding love — and then we scrapped it. Why? Because we realized that we’re surrounded by love in this great, big blogging world of single parents. Who needs a Valentine when you have blog love? For the record, we know there are some single [...]
