According to the comical letter, for a $15 donation, parents will still be included in PTO emails. For $25, parents can buy the freedom of opting out of all calls, emails, and sign-ups. And for $50 or more, the PTO will “forget” the parents name and face and “not ask for anything else all year.”

“Dear Victoria, I know you are struggling right now,” she wrote to her 18-year-old self. “You are not the prettiest, or the thinnest, or the best at dancing at the Laine Theatre Arts college.” She went on to lament her bad acne, “plump” figure, and placement in the very back of her end-of-the-year show. She recounted calling her mother to tell her she wanted to come home. Beckham has previously detailed her struggles with anorexia and bulimia in her book “Learning to Fly....

When I first placed the wand on my lips, I was surprised at how much product it deposited. I was able to do my entire mouth without having to double dip. See more of Troy here. The design is a work of art and the lip wand blew our minds. A little goes a long way and you don’t need as much as you would with other formulas. The price is completely fair for the quality and in comparison to other matte lip products at Sephora....

For comparison’s sake, see Cam five years ago (left). And last month shopping and snapped by paparazzi … See! WHAT is going on there?! I’ll be the first to admit that it’s downright inhumane how women — especially when they’re clearly aging — seem to be fair game for intense, at times cruel, scrutiny. But it seems like Cam’s face isn’t just showing the natural march of time. It looks like she’s either suffering from sun damage or plastic surgery gone wrong....

These new brows of mine are designed to last up to two whole years, but touch-ups are encouraged after just six months. I’ve reached that point, so how well have they held up?

Since giving birth to my daughter, I’ve learned that mothers will take any opportunity to one up one another. Don’t believe me? This week I read about parents who were challenging one another on whose baby’s poop smelled better. Really. Can we talk about this, moms? Specifically about how STUPID all these “mompetitions” (yup, it’s in the Urban Dictionary) make us look? You may think you “won” something when your kid walks at 9 months and hers at 10, but what exactly is it she’s losing … huh?...

Some would twist the hair up in a bun or the worst offenders would let it hang, dripping water down their backs or fronts, making wet trails on clothes, jackets, coats. Why? WHY? I learned why when I became one of those women. Part of what I didn’t understand about leaving the house with wet hair was leaving your hair style to chance. Without a blowdryer, a straightener, or a curling iron, how are you to know what your hair is going to turn out like if you just let it dry on its own....

It’s hard enough to find support and resources for an emotionally disturbed child. What if you’re the one who’s out of control? Getting therapy and possibly going on meds will help. But besides that, where do you turn? What are your resources? Local Support Groups: In many communities you’ll find support groups for parents. In Brooklyn, for example, there’s Parents Helping Parents and The Family Center. Your therapist or your child’s pediatrician may know of some in your area....

Those of you with similar experiences are probably wondering why babies do that? And when does it stop? Because emptying the bathwater and restarting the whooole process gets old real quick. You know how relaxing a nice, warm bath can be. You sink in and feel all your muscles get jellified and loose. The same thing is happening to your baby in the bathtub. All — and I do mean all — their muscles get nice and relaxed....

“This case was different,” she said. “It was more aggressive, covered more of my face, and was harder to cover with makeup.” After she spent $400 with the dermatologist, he told her there was nothing more he could do. (Since she’s currently breastfeeding two twins, another treatment wouldn’t be safe.) He referred her to another doctor, but as a busy mother, she couldn’t afford the time or money. So she went online to look for help....

Trust me; I know what I’m talking about. I put nail polish on my baby girl a few times when she was itty bitty. Somehow this seems to shock people. Maybe because I’m one of those moms who didn’t get her baby’s ears pierced? That’s a pretty classic beauty move for parents. It’s certainly more classic than polishing a baby’s toe nails.

My friend ended a relationship with a man about a year ago. Actually, he was the one who ended it. He decided he wanted to date another woman. So he told my friend he couldn’t see her anymore. My friend was devastated, but said she understood. There was just one thing she asked him to do: To please not contact her anymore. Although they were friends as well as lovers, she needed time and space to heal, and felt their usual all-day emails and text messages wouldn’t allow for that....

The experts have weighed in on parents’ biggest mistakes in the backseat — and how to fix them! Only reading the car seat manual. The car seat manual should be read, and adhered to, but did you know it’s not the only one? “The car has its own rules,” explains Lorrie Walker, training manager and technical advisor for the Safe Kids Buckle Up Program.

But this week an article from Early Mama blogger Michelle Horton, titled, “Are 20-something unwed moms the new teen moms?” has been making its rounds of the blogosphere, and even though I’m a married mom, I couldn’t help but nod along. The article acknowledged something I’ve been feeling for years now, ever since my daughter was born. Starting a family in your 20s just isn’t DONE these days. When my husband and I go out with our daughter, we tend to be among the youngest parents in the place....
