The "Daily Dilemma" on the Sean and Richie Show is featured every weekday morning at 6:40am. We and the listeners take on someone's problems and try to offer different perspectives. Now, these don't have to be huge problems- it could just be something bothering you or a friend, or it could be some little thing you and another just can't agree on. If you have a dilemma to share we'd love

Today on the show we read a story about a woman who got arrested for making her 10 year old son walk to school after he got kicked off the bus for bad behavior for the 5th time. We got talking about how it seems today the kids seem to be a little "soft", that we never would have gotten away with as much as they do.

Every year there is "that" toy. The "Tickle Me Elmo" of whatever year it happens to be. I know the one that I had to sell my soul for many years ago was the Nintendo Wii when it first came out. It was the perfect toy for the age of my kids and it was the one thing they just had to have, and best intentions and good sense be damned I was going to get it for them.

Wow! People really responded to this dilemma. I have to admit that before we did it, I didn't think it would be such a hot button for people. Maybe the movie theaters need to take another look at how they make their money. I know that the majority of the actual ticket sales go to paying for the movie and the concessions are where they make most of their money. I guess the question is, if the ticke

This is another one of my favorite dilemmas, the topic was great and even better the callers were funny. I'm not sure where you will fall on the issue but I do know whichever way you go, you probably feel pretty strongly about it. The holidays always bring with them great joy and great dilemmas.

As I stated on the air today when we started this dilemma, I have not seen any of the "Twilight Saga" movies or read any of the books so it was all on you the listener to help this parent out on this one. I guess it's just one more thing for parents in this modern world to deal with, when in a child's life is "too young" anymore?

I suppose you could replace the cell phone in this dilemma with a lot of things like clothes, jewelery, or shoes. It is pretty common unfortunately for kids to tease those less fortunate than themselves. The truly ironic thing is they are all equally poor, as it is their parents who have the money and not the kids.

Happy Halloween my friends. Today we had a few Halloween dilemmas to choose from and I think we picked the right one. I have to tell you I was a little surprised at the calls we got. I am all for child safety but I don't think I was ready for the level of fear many parents have about their children. I suppose this is much better than the alternative.

This dilemma deals with a young person about to embark on their adult life. A high school senior wrote in that while all their friends are declaring what colleges they will be attending next year, and their probably majors, this listener has no clue about either.

I guess it had to come up eventually. It is one of those hot topics that a lot of people just can't agree on, is spanking a good idea?  Our listener wrote in that her and her husband of 3 years were about to have a baby and through recent conversations she realized they were both at opposite ends of the spanking spectrum. The husband believes in doing it, and she is very much against it.
