Lying About Your Child’s Age
When it comes to fudging the truth, are kids or adults the experts? Tweens find ways to round up their age to sound older than their actual years while their parents try to slow the aging process and round as their own birthdays pass. At the park the other day, I overheard a woman admitting she flat out lies to her gym about her child's age so they will admit her to the daycare.
Awkward! I Feel Guilty For Believing Hateful Gossip
Thanks to a reader with an issue (sorry, reader!), we have an awkward scenario for you that she needs you to weigh in on.
"I recently discovered that a friend had been lying and conning me for about eight years. As the friendship dissolved, I realized she'd played everyone in her life against the others, to the point of telling people I had been abusing her daughter.
DearSugar Needs Your Help: His Trash Talking Is Getting to Me
DearSugar and Irked Izzy need your help. Her ex-fiance is badmouthing her and it's recently hit too close to home. Should she let it go, or confront him and stir up all those emotions from her split?
Dear Poll: Do You Have an Office Gossip?
No matter how much you try to avoid it, gossip is an ever-present part of life. It can be mean and hurtful if what you're gossiping about isn't true, but at the same time, it can be kind of fun to share news and other personal tidbits of information with your significant other or best friend! Gossip around the office, however, is a whole different story.
True Confession — I Keep Their Secrets
Weigh in and tell us if you forgive or not forgive this True Confession.
"I have some pretty strange friendships with the married men in my circle of friends. They tell me all about their affairs but I don't say anything to their wives.
Have You Ever Lied to Your Family About Your Living Situation?
You could have cut the tension with a knife last night on The Hills when Heidi's mom made a surprise appearance for her daughter's birthday. Apparently she was unaware that Spencer had moved back in and was disappointed, to say the least, to have been kept in the dark. Although Heidi's mom's distress was mostly due to her daughter's dysfunctional relationship, I know not all parents are accepting of their kids cohabitating with their significant others before marriage.
Lil Tip: Make Makeup Work For You
There's something magical about makeup that makes youngsters swoon. Perhaps it's their desire to mimic mommy, but lads and lasses alike often love applying blush and eye shadow to their baby faces.
My daughter recently broke out in a rash and I needed to apply special lotion to her face and body.
What Lies Do You Tell Your Children?
I tell my kids that there's a Santa Claus, that the tooth fairy is small enough to fly under a pillow and that the Easter Bunny sometimes sprinkles carrots in their food when they aren't looking. In other words, I lie.
For the most part, I am honest with my kids to a point that is sometimes much to my own mother's chagrin.
What's the Biggest Lie You Were Told About Motherhood?
A friend of mine called me after she gave birth to her daughter and asked, "Why didn't you tell me all the crazy stuff that happens?"
The truth was, as the first in our group to have a child, I had no one with whom to compare notes. And, I didn't want to scare anyone.
Are You Honest When Your Friends Ask About Their Weight?
I don't like to lie, but sometimes I won't tell the whole truth in order to protect someone's feelings. Like when a friend asks if I think they look amazing in an outfit that I wouldn't be caught dead in, I might just point out the elements of it I do like.
It gets trickier when a friend asks you if you think they've gained weight or if you like their new boyfriend.
