If you don’t want to end up with payment plans hanging over your head well into adulthood, there’s a few options that mostly. Lucky, studious, and talented folks may get some assistance from scholarships and grants.…

My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years, and only now we are starting to feel slightly ready to discuss kids, which means we are having deep conversations about our plans for the…

This story, above all the drama, raises a tough dilemma that we want to pose for you all. The scenario is as follows – Husband finds out that the child he has been raising with his wife is not biologically his, despite her insisting that he is the father. Do you think he would have preferred to know that his wife cheated on him, or that their child was actually switched at birth in the hospital, and their ‘real’ kid is somewhere out in the world? Personally, I don't know which of these options…

Things c…

I firmly believe that being a single parent is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, and I salute every single parent out there for all their hard work. Not only do they have to raise their kid, or kids, all alone, but they have to work while doing it and maintaining a roof over their family's head.
