My son came to me the other day and said now that he is working 2 part time jobs he is going to buy a truck.

Here is Today's Daily Dilemma: I have a 16-year-old daughter who just started going out with her first 'real' boyfriend. My husband is completely paranoid about it. Way more than I am.

Here is Today's Daily Dilemma: I am a Sophomore in college and my question is this, how do you deal with over controlling parents? I mean, why won't they let me make my own decisions, even if they're the wrong ones?

This is hysterical, plain and simple.  A kid less than a year old going waterskiing.  Boy, they sure start them young these days.  Do you think this is a little cruel, or just cute?

Here is Today's Daily Dilemma: My problem is simple yet very frustrating, I have a toddler who is biting and pulling hair. I can't seem to find a way to make him stop. I have been given so many different ideas from friends with kids, some seem silly , like "talk/reason with him, and others seem extreme, like bite him back...
