Survival Guide

Getting your teen into a good college can be a rough experience when neither of you are prepared. The first thing you have to assess is your teen's level of commitment. Does he or she even want to go to college?

Marriages dissolve, fall apart, grow cold, lose their flare, you name it. It happens everyday. But what happens when the two consenting adults are not the only people involved in the relationship? How do you make that decision when other people depend upon your relationship, too? How do you split apart a marriage when it means splitting apart a family?

If you have been looking for something to do with your children that involves spending a lot of quality time together, camping may be one of the best activities to accomplish those goals.

Deciding whether or not to call your pediatrician for your child can pose a major dilemma for parents. On one hand, you want to ensure your child's health and safety at all times. On the other hand, you don't want to look like the overprotective parents who freak out every time your child gets the sniffles.

When you have toddlers in your home, a clean house is not a destination-it's an ongoing journey. Your house probably won't be really clean until the kids move out, but in the meantime, you can get your young children to help out.

You've been expecting these days for months. You've made all of the preparations and you've even lost sleep because you're so excited for your infant's birth.

You might not want to admit it, but there's a good chance that you'll experience a mid-life crisis to some degree as you reach your late 30s and early 40s. Many men deal with a mid-life crisis productively and it's more of a new awakening for them. Others, however, go through a number of negative emotions that create life-changing thoughts and actions. It doesn't have to be this way, though.
