Episode 1: Is Checking Your Partner's Phone Really That Bad? 偷看另一半手機，真的有這麼嚴重嗎
Okay, I have a question for you guys, and I feel like this one might start an argument. Is checking your partner's phone really that big of a deal? Because some people are like, "If you have nothing to hide, why won't you let me see your phone?" And other people are like, "Excuse me, have you ever heard of privacy?"

When Do You Officially Become Boyfriend and Girlfriend?
They see each other three times a week. They know each other’s friends. They stay at each other’s houses. They text all day. And then someone asks: “Is that your boyfriend?” And they say: “Ummm... not exactly.” What does that mean?! That is why we now have words like: situationship.

The 3-Year-Old and the 50-Year-Old -Why Everyone Tantrums the Same Way
The funniest thing about teaching and parenting at the same time is realizing how similar human beings are at every age. At three years old: “You don't understand me!” At fifty years old: “No, that's not what I'm trying to say.” Different vocabulary. Same frustration.

台灣的感情比較黏，美國的感情比較獨立嗎？ Taiwanese Relationships More Involved While American Relationships Are More Independent?
But I think different cultures have different expectations about how much a relationship should become the center of your life. Some people believe: “When I have a partner, they’re my priority.” Other people believe: “My partner is extremely important, but my friends, hobbies, career, and personal time still matter too.” And sometimes neither person realizes they have different expectations until they start dating each other. One person thinks: “Why don’t you want to spend your free time with me?” The other person thinks: “Why do I have to spend all of my free time with you?”

My Kid Cried and Said She Didn’t Want to Go to School. Should I Still Make Her Go?”
There’s something really heartbreaking about your child looking at you in the morning and saying, “I don’t want to go to school.” Especially when they’re crying. Because suddenly, something that seemed so simple — getting dressed, getting in the car, dropping them off — turns into this huge emotional decision. Do I comfort her and let her stay home? Do I tell her, “It’s okay, you still have to go”? Am I teaching resilience? Or am I ignoring what she’s trying to tell me? And I think that’s where a lot of parents struggle.
