He always said that episodes such as this were something he was After we had children, the incidents continued occasionally. I thought it was because he worked hard, so as a stay-at- home-mom, I just gulped, gave him his space, and he would eventually get back to normal. I continued walking on egg- shells and tried diligently to not make him angry again.
Embarrassingly, my preschool teacher asked one time if every- thing was OK because my son mentioned that his daddy yelled at his mommy a lot. Wayne lost his job six months ago and has chosen not to work since then. He want to work for anymore, and his angry outbursts have increased. He has destroyed multiple items in our home (the trash can, our cooktop and a colander) in his anger. Our kids are older now and witness these events, and I can no longer con- tinue to live in this environment.

It is available I urge you to call and let someone there help you form a safe escape plan because you may need one. Dear Abby: I have been close to my sister for most of my adult life.
When my daughter Patricia was born, my sister created the nickname a combination of Patricia and Godzilla. I told her I like the name, and she stopped saying it for a while. Now using it again, and deeply hurt by this. not an association I want my child to have for herself, and it comes across as mean. Since my expres- sion of not liking this is being ignored, not sure how to proceed.
Hates Name-calling Dear Hates: Your sister has a peculiar sense of humor. There are sweet nick- names, and one of them. In fact, rather mean and sinister. How to proceed would be to not expose your child to anyone who ridicules her or calls her a name you want her to have. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Bu- ren.

Dear Carolyn: My wife shares my views of the extreme on a few fronts, of her extended visits to our home. My wife is amenable to dis- cussions with her mom but fears we may be expecting too much from her a 60- year-old woman who we both agree is a very unusual combination of neutral congeniality and stone-quiet stoicism. After several regular, extended visits by her during the past three years, I am proposing this type of a conversation with Grandma: my wife and I love your eight-week visits from overseas to help us with the baby. Our home is your home, and it will always be your home. Now that our daughter is 1, love to ask of you a few things during your stay: always, constantly and incessantly use baby talk with the baby.
