Baby Wellness: A Doctor's Inside Advice
As moms, we think we know best. And, sometimes we do. But, pediatrician Barney Softness dished out doctor advice to the New York Times that no parent should ignore.
Do Tell: What's the Best Piece of Advice a Parent's Given You?
Getting unsolicited advice, especially from our parents, can be more frustrating and intrusive than helpful. With more years and life experience under their belts, some of what they say must be true, which is why it’s always good to at least hear them out even if you find their know-it-all sentiment irritating.
My mom always told me to beware of charming men, and to this day I'm not convinced by a charmer until I see his genuine side — I think it's saved me a few heartaches!
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."
It wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear since Bobby was the only "frog" I wanted to be with, but I guess a mother's experience is worth much more than I could give her credit for at my young age. Over 15 years later, I finally see her point.

You Asked: My Parents Won't Let Me Go
Dear Sugar,
I'm 21 years old and currently going into my last year of college. Before I was with my current boyfriend, I was in another long-term relationship, which ended when I went to college. My parents made my life miserable by pressuring me to break up with him, telling me that we weren't right together.
Group Therapy: Should I Listen to My Parents?
Back in April I suffered a stroke, but I'm OK now, just at home recovering. I am 21 and have known my current boyfriend for a while, but we have dated seriously for about four months. Somehow my mom found out that I am having sex with him, and she called him and was angry.
