Who knew that my post, “Do you always use a condom?“, would be one of the most popular ever? I’d like to thank all of you for your oh-so-honest thoughts on this uh, touchy, issue.
Andrea says that since her divorce, she has always asked men to play it safe, and they have: “Seriously? Asking you [...]
It’s the final week of Babeland’s Sexy Mama event, and this week’s theme is Reinventing Sex: How has your sex life changed since having a kid? (or, kids!)
A year into single motherhood, for the first time in my life, I wanted to custom-order a night of casual (but safe) sex. I’d never thought [...]
I’m trying to write a light-hearted field guide to single men — and your mind is certainly sharper than mine right now.
Single dads, chime in, too!
What kind of single guys do you meet at the Trader Joe’s versus at Safeway?
Over here, the guys at Trader Joe’s are often sharp-looking, fit, polite, and focused. At Safeway, [...]
Heads up: for the past month I’ve been working on making this blog better — for you.
So, just in time for Mother’s Day, I’m re-launching in a new format, one that’s easier to read and multi-media (videos!). I hope the new blog will be more revealing, more real. Thanks for being patient with the changes [...]
My first Mother’s Day on my own, I will forever be grateful to my father for coming to New York City to spend the weekend with us. He took Mae and me out to brunch. Then we walked over to the playground, where Mae, who had just turned one, piled sand onto Grandpa’s black dress [...]
This weekend, a mysterious brown box was on my doorstep, with a return address from a local warehouse. Whenever there’s a box at our door, Mae assumes it’s for her. It usually is.
But I had a feeling that it was for me this time. That’s because Babeland had contacted me recently to blog about being [...]
I belong to that parenting faction that believes kids grow up too fast. Although Mae has watched her fair share of Hannah Montana, I do try to draw the line. Once a month, my mother-daughter splurge is going to the movies — often a matinée and always a kid flick.
After eight years of seeing “G” [...]
Chrissy at Glamour does it. She refers to her baby’s father as “SD,” as in “sperm donor.”
Ms. Single Mama has a whole category about her ex-husband.
In her blog, Solo Mother pleads her ex-husband to answer her emails about her son, but he won’t respond.
Dad’s House recently wrote about the fact that communication with his ex-wife [...]
I hear from many single parents who email me, “I’m ready to date, but all my friends are married! How the heck can I even meet a great guy/gal who’s single?”
I was skeptical when I contacted Tamsen Fadal, an Emmy Award–winning TV journalist, and co-founder of SassyBean.com, for some advice. She’s not a single mom. [...]
As I explain at BabyCenter today, I almost flew to New York City last night.
The Mike and Juliet Show on Fox TV emailed me yesterday: “We are doing a segment on single moms and would love to have you on as our expert. ”
But Mae had come down with a virus; she was out of [...]
