Dear BMWK,
If a woman has a child with a man and they are not married should the woman give the child the man’s last name?
It’s double dipper day at BMWK with the Dear BMWK letters. I’ll let you all start on this one and we’ll jump in on the comments side of things.

A little ways back I got an email explaining a program that Microsoft was running in DC that focused on exposing young girls to technology. The email asked if I’d be interested in stopping by firsthand to see the program and to speak with some of the participants on behalf of BMWK. I accepted and was impressed with what I saw.
The program is called Digigirlz and is composed of basically high school females, mostly minority in an effort to expose them to some of the opportunities available with a career …

Dear BMWK,
My husband and I have been together for 3 years now. He has never really been an affectionate person, even when we were dating. When we first met, he was affectionate. But I think that was due to the newness of the relationship. As time went on, I felt the affection dwindling. I chose to overlook this and married him anyway (as he is a good man and a great provider.)
Now when I want affection, I have to ask for it. Otherwise, I …

There is an increasing trend according to a piece I saw on CNN thanks to a post on thestateof.com. Here is a piece from the article here:
Dr. Scott Haltzman, author of “The Secrets of Happily Married Women,” says stay-at-home wives constitute a growing niche. “In the past few years, many women who are well educated and trained for career tracks have decided instead to stay at home,” he says. While his research is ongoing, he estimates that more than 10 percent of the 650 women he’s interviewed who choose to …

A few days ago I posted an email from the J.Blossom company asking for help with a petition that they were presenting to the FDA in regards to a law that would put j.blossom and other small, independent cosmetics and personal care manufacturers out of business.
Well thanks to that post today the creator of J.Blossom - Jamila White was contacted and appeared on the Cocoa Mode segment of the Joe Madison Show (The #1 Black Talk Show in the country) on XM’s “The Power” - Channel 169 which was hosted …

The other day I did a post about mama’s boys after hearing a letter on the Steve Harvey show regarding the topic. You guys left a lot of excellent comments on the subject and people were a lot more interested in the subject than I expected. Regular reader Anna suggested we put the shoe on the other foot and do something about women who are given the world by their daddy’s and want their men to treat them the same way. Now we’re not talking about just your normal affection, …
