FYI: Your Kid's Cycle Will Take A While To Become Regular

Today we're talking about periods. Specifically, we're talking about how it can take a while – like sometimes years – for your kid's periods to become regular. Katie McPherson explains: "It can be normal for periods to be irregular in the first couple of years after they start because of something called ovulatory dysfunction."

A Little Advice For Surviving Thanksgiving When Your Kids Are Celebrating With Your Ex

Jen McGuire knows what it's like to be a single mom during the holidays. She writes today, "You are alone for Thanksgiving. Your kids are with your ex-partner for the holiday dinner. All bets are off. That means it's OK to make a turkey and stuffing sandwich and eat it on the couch in your pajamas by yourself. It's OK to order a pizza with toppings your kids would hate and eat it right out of the box. It's OK to sleep in, to say no to every invitation, or to say yes to every invitation.
