Getting unsolicited advice, especially from our parents, can be more frustrating and intrusive than helpful.

What Dating Advice Have You Gotten From Your Parents?
After my first real boyfriend (Bobby) broke up with me in 8th grade, I'll never forget what my mother told me to make me feel better -- "You've got to kiss a few frogs before you meet your prince."

Mommy Dearest: How Should I Deal With Gender Issues?
Mommy Dearest,
I have a 4-year-old little girl who seems to fit into the stereotypes surrounding children her age; she loves princesses, makeup, and playing with baby dolls.
