Slate Advice Column Addresses Three Family Dilemmas, Including a Wife's Baby Hints and a MAGA In-law's Comments
In a Slate parenting advice column, a father of two boys, ages 5 and 7, seeks guidance because his wife has been hinting for six months about wanting a third child, mentioning baby clothes websites and comments like Oh, don't you just want a baby. The couple had previously agreed on two children, but the wife's hints intensified after her brother's baby girl was born.
The advice columnist recommends the husband directly ask his wife about her intentions and, if she confirms she wants another child, honestly say, I love you, but I feel like our family is complete, while listening and offering support. In a second letter, a man refuses to pay for therapy for his 5-year-old nephew after the boy saw monkeys mating at a zoo, which the nephew's fundamentalist parents deemed corrupting. The columnist agrees he should not pay, suggesting a calm apology and patience instead. A third letter involves a sister's new MAGA husband making offensive comments at a county fair, upsetting the writer's 13-year-old daughter.
