prevailing attitude in our society is: let there be sex at the end of
the tunnel, I don’t care about the light! Yet, for most
women, there is
a profound difference between just having sex and making love. Allie
Ochs explains. More

Nobody ever promised that parenting would be
easy. We are
caught
between spoiling our children and taking away privileges for bad
behaviour. Apart from loving and encouraging our children, discipline
is the most important parental task. Allie Ochs explains. More

Be
they romantic, family or work-related, relationships are subject to
power struggles. We struggle to dominate the relationship wanting to
impose our views and beliefs on others. Resident Relationships advisor,
Allie Ochs, explains what we can all do to survive!
You've
been asked out...or done the asking out. Either way you're going on that
date. The first date. The grand opening of what could blossom into a
relationship without par, a soul mate to change your life forever! But
there are many pot holes and pit falls when it comes
to dating, and Claire Bertolus looks at a
number etiquette tips that will hopefully reduce the stress
levels of the dreaded first date.
There is a big difference between
women going through menopause and men
going through midlife crisis: women are more prepared. Men
don’t understand what they are going through and why
they feel the way they do. Your husband will not want to
admit that he
feels old, unattractive, out of shape, overweight, balding, unhappy in
his career and overburdened by responsibilities. Allie Ochs
explains.
There
are many different types of mothers: young and old mothers,
single or married mothers, mothers-in-law and stepmothers, ill or
deceased mothers, close-by or far-away mothers, funny or serious
mothers. These are the mothers we are and the mothers we love. But, is
there a perfect mother? Allie Ochs explains.

and Tamara have been answering your questions for many years at Web
Wombat, but this new column is easily one of the most polarising of any
of the letters they've responded to. It addresses the issue of
swinging, or sharing sexual partners. For some, this can add spice to
intimacy in relationships that were once stale, by bringing
more
people in your sex lives with your partner. But it can also be a
relationship destroyer, often the catalyst for extreme jealousy and the
cause of any number of negative feelings. More

Step parenting
ultimately means being a step
away from being a parent.
Even if you have no intention of parenting, at the very least you are
expected to step in when the real parent is absent. Like it or not, in
a blended family you will do some parenting. Ally Oches puts in her two
cents on some simple rules that should be followed in order to
successfully raise a child in the middle of a divorce. More

Parenting: A Foreign Word
We've all experienced
heartbreak at some
stage in our lives, from
your childhood crush on the cute young blonde in primary
school,
to your first true love just out of high school and even
to relationship woes and infidelity in a
marriage. But how do we cope with these problems when at times
it
feels like no one can help? While Allie
Ochs concedes that, "Being dumped
without your consent is a huge attack on your ego," she also says that
there can be positives to come from being dumped. More

There is quite a
difference between aiming
for a successful
life or relationship and trying to achieve perfection, as Allie Ochs
explains. Contrary to popular belief, perfection is not required to
succeed in love and life. In fact, the perfectionism-trap has serious
negative consequences. More articles:Dating At 40 Plus Just Gets

In this examination of
childhood, Susan M. Thompson writes about looking at ones past and
healing the hurting heart from within. Does an emotional past affect
the future? Are we all to emulate our parents - the ups and downs - due
