Too Nice to Date? / Melanie is already shaping her 6-year-old son to be a man when he grows up. Is it too early? No, but it's the father's job to make sure the kid will one day walk like a man.

George butted heads with his dad over a loaf of bread. Here's what happened: George yelled at his mother for refusing to cook a loaf for George's boss. Then George yelled at his father for not forcing George's mother to bake the bread. Sounds silly, but there are lessons to be learned in this one.

Kelly's daughter is the product of a one-time rendezvous with an old friend. How should Kelly bring it up with the father, a straight-up chicken who wanted nothing to do with paternal responsibilities?

Cutting Them Out of Your Life / Amanda believes in her own culpability for her husband's straying ways. But the audacity of the way in which he cheated and the number of times it happened makes clear the notion that neither blame nor shame need trouble Amanda's conscience anymore.

Dr. Laura quote of the hour: "One does not analyze when one's lips are moving, one analyzes when one is quiet."

Her husband sought comfort from another woman, yet hope lies still in Maria's chances to resurrect a healthy marriage.

In a moment of temporary child-induced delirium, Jessica phoned her employer and declared that she was ready to come back to work. Soon after she abandoned her children, Jessica realized what a mistake she had made and wants to quit, a task now complicated by her feelings of obligation to "The Office."

Dr. Laura interviews Sherry Warner-Seefeld, whose son was thrown out of school on allegations of rape. Yes, he was expelled due to accusations alone - not evidence - and despite appeals from credible sources, the law is set up in such a way so that women get a very unfair advantage in such cases.

Prolonging Your Life / Jennifer's daughter snitched on a fellow student who she noticed was cheating on a quiz. Jennifer was upset with her daughter for tattling, but as for the bigger discussion of right and wrong, perhaps a call to Dr. Laura is just the thing.

Kelly is a 911 operator and, in her line of work, stress builds up to the point that she and her colleagues find themselves incapable of offering assistance. By drawing parallels to her own job, Dr. Laura helps shift Kelly's focus from those beyond help to those saved every day by the valiant efforts of Kelly and her fellow operators.
