What about the idea that you can tell which girls won't be your daughter's friends by how the moms treat you?  In my daughter's school there are groups of moms (who dress like kids themselves) and work hard to create their circle of cool friends. They go on vacation together and generally leave out everyone they think don't fit in.  Aren't they just modeling bad behavior for their daughters?

Tues, Oct 20 at 1 pm ET: Rosalind Wiseman, author of "Queen Bees & Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends and the New Realities of Girl World" - newly revised - is here to talk about mean behavior, however and wherever it shows up in our and our daughters' lives.

What do you think of everyone posting their favorite, easy, dinner-time recipes here?   Maybe in separate posts so we can keep them straight?  How does that sound?

We'll be talking with her about practical solutions for family cooking without compromising taste. Come with your ideas, questions, fixes and favorite recipes!

My family is on a budget and we can't afford to eat lots of organic foods.  Which ones do you recommend we put at the top of the list?  And which ones don't matter so much.  

Wed, Oct 7th, at 1 pm ET: Myra Goodman will talk about how our food choices make a bigger impact on the planet than the car we buy and how we can live organically within a budget. And she'll share her favorite recipes.
