    Are working mothers driven to drink?

    For many parents – stay-at-homes or otherwise – it’s hard to say no to the notion of a drink or two at the end of a long day. But for working mothers, the stress that stems from the combined demands of the office and the responsibilities of child-rearing can swiftly turn those one or two drinks into a serious problem. And it’s a problem that’s becoming fairly common.

    Parents, do you find solace from the pressures of your career and your parenting duties in a drink or two? Have you ever been concerned that it could turn into a problem? Have you taken steps to curtail it? Watch the video and share your thoughts in the comment section.

    Drinking is a conscience choice. and society accepts that as an excuse as to not face up to ones responsibilities. I suggest if your overwhelmed, instead of reaching for a crutch to support your excuses, execute a different game plan of attack.

    Would you let your kid be a child actor?

    From Todd Bridges and Lindsay Lohan to the late Corey Haim and Michael Jackson, it seems as if many child actors have more than their share of struggles with serious issues such as addiction and sex. Do you think it's because they grew up in the limelight and didn't get a chance at "normal" childhoods? Does it have to do with the tender ages at which they became famous? Should their parents be blamed? What if your kid wanted to start acting? Share your thoughts.
