Following Madonna’s example, what do you think a mother should have the right to control when her kids are with their father?

Posted Sunday, November 23, 2008 - 9:04pm

What type of water they drink (tap vs. bottled)

Their diet (vegetarian, organic, etc)

How much TV they watch

What kind of clothing they wear

None of the above -- he's just as much a parent

Whatever she feels is best for her kids

Under what circumstances is it advisable to "stay together for the kids"?

Posted Wednesday, November 19, 2008 - 10:24am

If you simply can’t afford to raise them alone

If they’re almost about to go off to college

If they’re struggling with other emotional issues

Never. A broken marriage is more traumatic than divorce

Now that you're divorced, how do you acknowledge your wedding anniversary?

Posted Monday, October 20, 2008 - 9:56am

I take a moment alone to reflect

I go out with friends to celebrate my liberation

I look through my photo album and cry

It's just another day now

I look at my kids, and am grateful for them

Jose Cuervo and I sing “Holding Out for a Hero” all night long

What impact has the current economic climate had on your decision to divorce?

Posted Monday, October 6, 2008 - 4:42pm

I have to put off my divorce until I can make it on my own

We’re still divorcing, but with increasing trepidation

Times are so tough that I'm having regrets about divorcing

No regrets, but I may need to renegotiate my settlement

None… Liberation is priceless!

What are your secret regrets?

Posted Tuesday, September 9, 2008 - 12:12pm

I regret leaving my Ex. I want my old life back

I regret I didn't say "no" to marriage and "yes" to career

I regret thinking that having kids could "fix" us

I regret I didn't leave sooner

I regret nothing! My past is part of who I am now

When your Ex has the kids, what do you do with your time?

Posted Friday, August 15, 2008 - 9:24am

Sit dumbfounded trying to figure out what to do

Eat bad food. Drink. Catch up on R-rated movies

Finally do some work and polish my jobs skills so I can shine

Have wild overnights with my boyfriend...or some girlfriends

Worry I'm a terrible mom because I enjoy the peace and quiet

How is Your Ex still in the picture?

Posted Tuesday, July 22, 2008 - 10:48am

I tolerate my ex for the kids and try to act civil

Love my ex just not the way I used to

My ex is on speed dial: certain habits are hard to break

We still share some of the same friends

He's not: want him cropped out

I would recommend my ex for a date
