Sunday Confessional: I Got Too Comfortable With My Boyfriend's Dad
My boyfriend and I have been living together the past two years. Recently his parents visited from out of town to see my boyfriend and his two sisters. They were here for a few weeks, so the siblings decided to take turns hosting and showing them around.
You Asked: He's Too Sarcastic
Dear Sugar,
I've been dating a great guy for five years now, but often I am annoyed by his sarcastic, hostile, and almost snobbish attitude. Sometimes it just seems like he can't be nice or get along with anyone — he's even mean to his friends. I love him very much, and he says that he loves me, too, but I'm not sure I can handle this anymore.
You Asked: He Doesn't Have Boundaries

Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend of three years supervises around 25 women. About eight months ago, we were out of town and he received a text message, which I picked up since he wasn't around. It was a very sexual joke from one of his employees, whom I already have issues with since she's constantly telling my boyfriend how she wants to leave her husband, which I find totally inappropriate.
Do Tell: What Childish Behavior Has Stuck With You?
No matter how old we are, we're all still babies about certain things. Additionally, I think it's safe to say that we all engage in childish behavior from time to time — whether we're being bratty about something or acting out like an overtired toddler — moments of childlike weakness doesn't make us less of an adult. So ladies, if growing up is just a state of mind, do tell, what childish behavior has stuck with you all these years?
You Asked: My Friends Have Changed
Dear Sugar,
I have a tight-knit group of girlfriends that I have been close to for the past two years. They've been a great support to me during this time, but lately something is different. I'm not sure if I've changed or if they have, but we just don't seem to get along anymore.
Can You Really Train a Man?
I just came across this New York Times story from a while back, where the author explains how she trained her husband using techniques she had learned while writing a book on exotic animal trainers. She explained:
The central lesson I learned from exotic animal trainers is that I should reward behavior I like and ignore behavior I don't. After all, you don't get a sea lion to balance a ball on the end of its nose by nagging.
Dear Poll: When Was Your Party Phase?
Most people have a party phase, a time in their lives when they take a lot of risks, forget about consequences, and are generally a bit out of control. Certainly many young Hollywood stars seem to be in the midst of theirs right now. While the rest of us don't live such glamorous lives, I'd bet that most of us have had a party phase of our own.
The How-To Lounge: Quitting Smoking
Smoking is a nasty habit. We all know smoking is bad for your health and wreaks havoc on your skin, your teeth, and the people around you. Even though some people make smoking look glamorous, it is a dangerous habit to pick up.

Are Teens Growing Up Too Fast or Too Slowly?
When I first saw this headline on Newsweek, "Why Teenagers Are Growing Up So Slowly Today," I thought, whaaa? With all the sexting and drugs, aren't teens growing up too fast?
Just because teens are doing adult things doesn't mean they are acting like adults, argue Joseph Allen and Claudia Worrell Allen, authors of Escaping the Endless Adolescence.
Stranger than Fiction: School Used Lap Dance Therapy
When you think of activities to help the emotional growth of teens with behavior troubles or special learning needs, lap dances would probably be the last thing you'd think of.
But that's exactly what the staff at Mount Bachelor Academy came up with, and they forced students to undergo lap dance therapy as a part of their "emotional growth" curriculum. The boarding school was shutdown after students accused the staff of employing this dubious therapy, and a seven-month state investigation has just confirmed the allegations.
