Eating disorders can have serious medical and psychological consequences which left unchecked can kill. Parents should address this issue and ask their children to discuss how they feel about themselves.

The great medical facilities are a relief for the parents too who don't have to think about caring for their young ones on their own for a weekend. They have a great time.

Yet it looks as if the thing we use to solve our problems with is the source of our problems. It's like going to the doctor and having him make you ill. In fact in 20% of medical cases we do apparently have that going on. But in the case of thought its far over 20%.

My parents and grandparents have always been engaged in teaching or the medical profession or the priesthood so I've sort of grown up with a sense of complicity in the lives of other people so there's no virtue in that it's the way one is raised.

In response to our fast-food culture a 'slow food' movement appeared. Out of hurried parenthood a move toward slow parenting could be growing. With vital government supports for state-of-the-art public child care and paid parental leave maybe we would be ready to try slow love and marriage.

My parents have a wonderful marriage for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.

My parents' long and happy marriage was a great ideal to live up to but a tough one.

More than 1.1 million taxpayers in Pennsylvania will enjoy a lower tax rate more than 1.4 million married couples will benefit from the reduction in the marriage penalty and more than 1.1 million parents will have the advantage of an increased child tax credit.

My parents had a wonderful marriage but it was a very dependent relationship. My mother was entirely dependent on my father because that's how it was in those days.

I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I thought was a stable background and to give him what I thought was the family life a child should have with two parents. But that isn't always the best way and it took me taking my son to therapy after the divorce to really see it.
