Teens banned from shopping alone on Black Friday at Mall of America

• I totally applaud this action, I only wish our major mall would make a similar decision. It has been years since my children were teens, but they were never allowed to go to the mall by themselves, until they actually got an after-school job working at the mall.

An open letter to new Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer

It's a good thing. She's a great example.

• Thank you for writing this incredibly moving letter of your personal experience with motherhood and the the joy and challenge that it brings, and the sometimes unwanted guilt that creeps up even years after our children are grown. I understand.

• This open letter reminds of a story on another web news site about women who choose not to breastfeed their baby, some because they could not, others because they had no desire, and others who did not produce enough milk.
