There's a new law being shopped around California's senate called SB242, or the Social Networking Privacy Act, which requires social networks to allow parents full access to their kids' profiles and even lets them request removal of text or photos from a minor's (under 18) profile. For me, this calls into question the rights of the user. Facebook allows users age 13 and up to open an account, and Read more
After managing his daughter Beyoncé, 29, ever since she was a teenager, Matthew Knowles will no longer be handling her career, according to an announcement yesterday. Although reports say the split is mutual, the process of separation must have been tough. First of all, it's always hard to let go of something familiar and sometimes involving family with your work life is quite a tricky Read more
This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments! I'm 22, and I still live in my parents' house. I would love to move out, but work/school/funds prevent this right now. This may sound silly, but lately I've been getting really frustrated because my mother asks me where I'm going, who I'm going out with, etc. every time I leave. I know she Read more
It's hard enough to make a night out of Valentine's Day when it falls on a Monday like this year, but there's a whole other layer of planning when you have kids. Since we, childless at TrèsSugar, know nothing of this parent-specific dilemma, we enlisted the help of mother, wife, and blogger extraordinaire Heather Maddan, editor of LilSugar, for advice on how to put romance first and kids second Read more
This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments! For financial reasons, I moved back in with my parents at the age of 25. Having moved out at 18, this was a huge adjustment from the independence I was used to, but it had to be done. When I lived on my own, I had a great life: I had a decent boyfriend, good job, and I lived a healthy Read more
Plenty of parents will walk the red carpet at the 2011 Academy Awards. Several films for and about families are competing for the sought-after statues on the big night. But many actors were also nominated for their onscreen portrayals of mothers and fathers. I'm curious if you know how many kids they have (and their competition have) in real life. Test your knowledge! Take the Quiz Read more
This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments! I am in a long-distance relationship with my fiancé while I attend graduate school. We are finally in a position where he could move down here with me, but we can't get married until this summer. When my parents found out they were very upset. Both are very religious and are insulted by Read more
By now, you've probably seen Amy Chua's Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior on the WSJ, as well as retaliating pieces, all over the web. Her harsh methods, which include not allowing her kids to go on sleepovers and to get any grade less than an A, were meant to push her children towards excellence. Her daughters may thank or blame her later on in life depending on where they end up, but I'm Read more
Earlier this week, one of our own editors shared with us the healthy habits she picked up from her mom: "Even as a toddler, I was tricked into thinking that corn flakes were potato chips, yogurt was ice cream, and wheat germ was 'special sugar.'" Now out on her own, she can't stand white bread and still loves the taste of wheat germ. Many of you responded to the post with the healthy lessons Read more
Sometime over the long Thanksgiving weekend next week I know I'll be stationed at my parents' desktop going over how to upload and send photos or downloading new programs onto my dad's netbook. I don't go back home that often, so when I do, there's always a list of minor tech issues (or just things they don't know how to do on the computer) waiting for me to do. Just like many other parents, mine Read more
