Brother uses elder mom's funds for his own purposes
Should I just continue to clean up the area after the dog is done, or should I say something else?
-- Grandma
Dear Grandma: If this baby is sharing its home with a dog, that dog and baby have probably been licking each other on the face for several months.
I don't think you should worry about this, but you definitely will, so, in the future, you could ask your daughter, "Honey, do you mind if I give this a wipe down?" Otherwise, keep your opinion to yourself.
Dear Amy: "Stressed in NY" was worried about moving his teen son to a new town after high school and before college. This teen should consider volunteering for AmeriCorps during his "gap" period.
-- Volunteer
Dear Volunteer: Great suggestion. Interested applicants can check Nationalservice.gov for details.
