You Asked: When Should My Daughter Meet My Boyfriend?
Dear Sugar,
I am 29 years old, and I have been with my boyfriend (also 29) officially for almost a year — we dated off and on for about four years. I'm a single parent of a beautiful 8-year-old daughter and I have been toying with the idea of the two meeting, but I am just not sure when. I have been very cautious because my daughter has not seen her father since she was two (and even then she only met him two or three times), which is his choice not mine.
Eight–Year–Old Boy Wants To Go To Law School . . . Now

You Asked: His Ex Is Making My Life Miserable
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been together off and on for about five years, and we just moved in together two months ago. He has a 7-year-old son who comes over on the weekends. His son's mom is still dead set on trying to win my boyfriend back.
Would You Let Your Child Have a Career?
While most kids her age are skipping rope on the playground, 10-year-old Courtney Oliver is scrubbing in for surgery. The college graduate is a certified veterinary assistant at the South Bay Veterinary Hospital in Olympia, Washington.

You Asked: My Husband Cheated and Had a Secret Child
Dear Sugar,
I just found out a secret that my husband of eight years has been keeping from me. He's the father of my three girls, (ages 11, seven, and seven months) and he just told me that he has a 2-year-old daughter, which means he cheated on me while we were married.
I can't help but wonder if there was something I could have done differently to prevent him from wanting to be with someone else.

Should CPS Investigate the Heene Parents For Child Abuse?
In the case of Richard Heene, the acronym UFO may mean something else: Unruly Father Overacts. While the giant Jiffy Pop saucer may have attracted the whole country's attention, it was the parents' history of taking their three children on storm chases that made me raise my eyebrows. While I may have little in common with people who race after hurricanes, I would like to think that moms and dads always have one goal in mind — the safety of their children.
Is Child Obesity Another Form of Child Abuse?
The average weight for a 14-year-old boy is roughly 112 pounds. When a child packs on a score or two more than that, most people start to notice the thicker waistline. So when a South Carolina boy tipped the scales at 555 pounds, it wasn't just friends and strangers that noticed — local authorities did, too.
The Gifted Child: A Holiday List Suited For Mommy

How Do Your Children Get to School?
What child hasn't heard the story of their parents hiking five miles to school, uphill (in both directions) during a blizzard? Such tall tales may seem even more foreign to kids as fewer moms are allowing their lil ones to walk to school on their own. According to the National Household Travel Survey, child abductions, unsafe traffic conditions, and neighborhood conditions can be blamed for the decline in the number of walkers from 41 percent in 1969 to 13 percent in 2001.
