Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been going out for four years; since I was 20. Despite working full time, he still lives at home with his mother who is very controlling, and in turn, he lets her treat him that way. The problem is he can't say no to her.

Since life isn't always wine and roses, we all need someone to turn to when the going gets tough. Sixty percent of you
still turn to your mom, like me, but I'm sure a lot of you also turn to your significant other when you need comfort, support, or even just a voice of reason. Of course, our moms are irreplaceable, but when you're in a relationship that special someone can easily become your new go-to person during a time of crisis.

Dear Sugar,
My parents are divorced and I've lived in my mother's house for most of my life. I'm currently a student at a very prestigious college. My mom has never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother.

After hearing stories from my married friends about their husbands, I realize how many men are stuck in their mother's ways! It may be endearing for a guy to be a mama's boy, but it can seem a little childish to demand that something be done a particular way for no reason other than, "that's how my mom did it." Does your significant other act this way?

Weigh in and tell us if you forgive or not forgive this
True Confession.
"I hate that I have to defend my decision to be a stay-at-home mom. My friends and family think I just sit around and do nothing all day.

It is Mother's Day and here at FitSugar we want to know if fitness for you is a family past time with a matrilineal leaning. My mom is into walking and swimming, and she's even a
Jazzercise regular. She inspires me, just as I hope to
inspire my girls.

Even if you try to avoid it, you’re going to pick up some
traits from your mom. From the way they hold their teacups to how they handle confrontations, moms pass down their tried and true ways of being women in this world. While there may be some
bad habits we’d rather avoid, for the most part, the similarities we share with our mothers really are something special.

Since
Mother’s Day is all about showing our moms how much they mean to us, giving a thoughtful gift is really important. Unfortunately, even if we know all the things our mothers love most, coming up with something original and meaningful can be incredibly tricky. I always find that finding something you can do together — like concert tickets, spa treatments, or a home-cooked meal — is a great gift for this particular occasion.

Since Mother's Day is fast approaching, I thought it would be fun to talk about men and their mothers! There's nothing more attractive than a man who knows how to treat a woman, and I think his mother has a lot to do with that. With so many leading men in Hollywood who love their mamas, tell me, who's your favorite celebrity mama's boy?

Dear Sugar,
I have run into quite the dilemma as my mother has gotten older — she just turned 50, but she's dressing like a 15-year-old! My two younger sisters (13 and 16) are still living at home, so I guess they are the only ones she has to look to for fashion advice. On her 50th birthday, she wore a skintight sweater with black leggings to a party we threw for her.
