Empty nest? Or just a new kind of nest?
When my brother was a college student, he didn't have much of a curfew while home on break. My mom knew his friends well and trusted him to get home safely. When I was 21, I finally asked my mom, "How come I still have to be home at 1 A.M. when I'm ...

Home for the holidays: college kids and their parents
While I do have a daughter in college, we live in the same town and she has her own place. Therefore, Thanksgiving doesn't involve any 'coming home' issues for us. But for many parents and students, home for the holidays can be a stressful and ...Does your Mom still Mother you?
When I returned from a short business trip last week, I could already tell my Mom had been at work in my home. The lights were glowing as I pulled up in the rain at close to midnight, exhausted from the flight and heels pinching my worn-out feet. I ...Mothers of sons: do you know what a SIB is?
A close friend of our family works in Geriatric Health. And man, working in that field would be tough. I'm pretty sure I'd rather sit in a dank parkade dispensing yellow tickets or wearing a pizza cutout around my head than have to face dying and ...Drug dealing son busted, parents punished
24-year-old Thomas Roos was arrested four times during a four month period in 2005, usually passed out at the wheel of a car full of drugs and cash. Needless to say, the young drug dealer's blatant disregard for the law made the police in Snohomish ...When your 30-year-old son won't move out
Normally I don't read advice columns, because the "advice" is usually so general, and so obvious, that I highly doubt it's at all helpful for the poor, beleaguered person who's struggling with a real-life problem that has no easy answers. However, ...Man tries to ransom mother's cat
According to police in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, 47-year-old Garry Lamar has been extorting money from his own mother by holding her beloved cat for ransom. It started about a year ago, when 78-year-old Mary Lamar Grancher kicked her son out of ...Amy Winehouse apologizes to her dad
Whenever I hear about a celebrity in trouble with drugs or other destructive behavior, I always think about the parents. Just because your kid becomes an adult does not mean you no longer worry about them. And if that grown child is making ...
Sicilian mother cuts off 61-year-old son's allowance because he stayed out too late
When I was in high school, I worried about one day becoming the son that never left my parent's house, and now that I have a child of my own, I worry that she'll be that kind of daughter (though, granted, she's 3, so that's a long way off). But, no ...Kids are depressing
Analysis of data taken from studies in the 1980's and 1990's shows that those who have children are more likely to be depressed than those who do not. This, according to Florida State University Professor Robin Simon, is due to the fact that children ...Keeping the peace by keeping silent
I think it has been pretty well established that a woman's relationship with her father can play a big part in her future relationships with men. I know that the father-daughter relationship I grew up with certainly had an impact on the men I chose ...I feel bad for Britney's mom
I sympathize with Britney Spears' mother. I really do. Watching her adult daughter spin so publicly out of control cannot be easy. For the most part, Lynne Spears remains silent as Britney makes one bad decision after another. Even when she speaks ...Respecting my daughter's 'space'
A few weeks ago, my adult daughter Christy came over for a visit and used my computer to check her email. After she left, I realized she had left her MySpace page up on the screen. I knew she had a MySpace page, I had just never seen it. It's a ...
Finding common ground on different planets
A few months ago, my daughter Christy scored three tickets to see Al Gore speak at a sold-out event at her college. She invited a close friend and me. I was excited to see Al Gore speak about global warming, but even more excited about the fact that ...Maintaining the parent-child relationship through shopping
As a parent, we are responsible for providing for our children's needs, emotionally and physically. From kissing boo-boos to buying socks, it all falls under the heading of parenting. As our children grow older, their scrapes begin to heal themselves ...
