You could have cut the tension with a knife last night on The Hills when Heidi's mom made a surprise appearance for her daughter's birthday. Apparently she was unaware that Spencer had moved back in and was disappointed, to say the least, to have been kept in the dark. Although Heidi's mom's distress was mostly due to her daughter's dysfunctional relationship, I know not all parents are accepting of their kids cohabitating with their significant others before marriage.

There's something magical about makeup that makes youngsters swoon. Perhaps it's their desire to mimic mommy, but lads and lasses alike often love applying blush and eye shadow to their baby faces.
My daughter recently broke out in a rash and I needed to apply special lotion to her face and body.

I tell my kids that there's a Santa Claus, that the tooth fairy is small enough to fly under a pillow and that the Easter Bunny sometimes sprinkles carrots in their food when they aren't looking. In other words, I lie.
For the most part, I am honest with my kids to a point that is sometimes much to my own mother's chagrin.

A friend of mine called me after she gave birth to her daughter and asked, "Why didn't you tell me all the crazy stuff that happens?"

I don't like to lie, but sometimes I won't tell the whole truth in order to protect someone's feelings. Like when a friend asks if I think they look amazing in an outfit that I wouldn't be caught dead in, I might just point out the elements of it I do like.
It gets trickier when a friend asks you if you think they've gained weight or if you like their new boyfriend.

There are certain rules we all know: Communication is key and honesty is the best policy. But sometimes, anything seems easier than fighting with your partner, including telling him a little white lie. Now I don't condone lying, but I think sometimes avoiding a confrontation with a lie is probably better than having the confrontation to begin with. But what do you think?
Have you ever given your all in a relationship only to find out months later that your boyfriend wasn't everything you thought he was — that he was in fact leading a secret life on the side? If so, I can guarantee you're not the only one. It can be a scary world out there and with Internet dating being so prevalent, it's easier than ever to become anyone you want, leaving the past behind you. 
Dear Sugar,
I made a horrible mistake. I lied to get my ex-boyfriend back and told him I was pregnant with his baby. I desperately wanted him to stay with me, and I thought this would keep us together.
