Smother Mothers Gender-Biased toward Boomerang Sons
A Reuters study "Flying the Nest" showed how "smother mothers" (over-protective moms) welcomed their adult "boomerang sons" back home more quickly than daughters. A boomerang child is as the name suggests, a child who moved out, then returned to live back with parents. In this case, it seems to be gender-biased with mom and son relationships predominating over any other.
The 2010 film "Cyrus" explores the humor and pathos of smother mother love. The tagline says is well: "A recently divorced guy meets the woman of his dreams. Then he meets her son." Bouncing off from this film and the debate over boomerang sons, why are mothers quick to let adults sons live at home, while adult daughters fly the nest for good? Why let sons return over daughters? Why let kids move back, period? Is it healthy? Why Smother Mothers Welcome Boomerang Sons

Like the army, parenting teens is the toughest job you'll ever love. Teenagers are naturally manic-depressive. On one side are raging hormones, mercurial emotions, sassy mouths and self-centered behavior. On the other, charm, wit and intense passion. Here's what parents need to survive the tempestuous teens.

Panhandling Is Getting Out of Hand
I'm generous. I give to known organizations and many random causes. But I will not give to panhandlers for several reasons. We stopped in Grand Rapids, Michigan yesterday for a bite to eat.
A guy approached the car shouting, waving his arms and begging for money. He was wandering in the street disrupting traffic, accosting passers-by. We didn't give anything. But he kept following. Panhandling Is Getting Out of Hand

Write What You Know (Don't Fake It)
I've freelanced online since 2010. I have 6,000+ articles published and I maintain 55 different niche blogs. Many people ask how I make it work. With a lot of trial, error and learning. Today's mistake cum tip: write what you know.
Alanon says "fake it till you make it." Writing's NOT the place for that. I'm not saying you have to know everything about grammar or SEO. SEO is organic and we adapt. Semantics you can learn along the way. So you who write in a second language, keep practicing. Writing for the Web 101 Write What You Know (Dont Fake It) - News - Bubblews
