It's hard to get rid of guests in Hawaii
My husband and I feel that's not appropriate, and said bra and panties are okay.
My older daughter says we're "body shaming" her, and that she should be able to sleep in whatever makes her comfortable. My younger daughter says it's not a problem, but it's our family culture, as well as common sense, to be wearing something in case of an earthquake or other emergency. What do you think?

Dear Prudish: I fail to see the "body shaming" aspect of this. I don't think it is at all unreasonable to ask a grandchild -- boy or girl -- to exhibit some minimal modesty while at your house.
However, I do agree about the importance of comfort while sleeping. Sleeping in a bra seems strange (and uncomfortable, at least to me); perhaps your granddaughter can keep a special "sleep shirt" under her pillow, in case of an earthquake?
Dear Amy: "Wondering Woman" couldn't figure out why the man she had been seeing suddenly demanded that she delete all of his contact information.
This happened to me. As it turned out, the man I was casually dating was married! Truly, I had no idea. The delete request came from the man's wife.

Dear Been There: Yikes.
