Ask Amy: Trapped in a snowbank, wife wants out
Dear Lost: Given how this episode played out, I assume you wish you’d stayed quiet, and yet you did nothing wrong. You offered a friend your gentle feedback (I agree with you, by the way), and she aggressively and publicly shut you down.
I’m not sure why you would want to contact “Alice” to sort this out, other than to ask for an apology for her harshness, which you surely would not receive.
Dear Amy: I’m still bothered by the letter from “Anonymous,” a self-described “man-child” who wants no kids, pets, home – or any adult responsibilities.
I wonder who he thinks will take care of him when he needs care?
– Grown Up
Dear Grown Up: Caregiving in elder years isn’t the only reason to have children, but – if you raise them right – kids can certainly come in handy.
