99.9 the Q

Alyssa from Falmouth writes:
My mother-in-law constantly critiques my parenting — right in front of my kids. Meals, outfits, discipline — she always has a comment. I’ve tried ignoring it, but it’s becoming too much.

Last week my 7-year-old even whispered, “Are we in trouble with Grandma again?” That’s when I realized how obvious it’s become.

I don’t want a family blow-up or to put my husband in the middle, but I can’t keep letting it slide. How do I set a boundary with her without starting a family war?

I’ve got a co-worker who’s on the exact same level as me, but you’d think she owned the place. She tells me what I “should” be doing, tracks when we show up, when we leave, even how long we’re in the bathroom. She’s basically HR, security, and middle management — without the paycheck or the title. I’m not the only one this bothers. Do I call her out, or just let her keep living her bossy little fantasy?

Sonya in Hyannis wonders

My son’s birthday party is this weekend, and I invited his class. One mom RSVP’d “yes” for her son… and then casually mentioned she’ll be dropping off his two siblings too.

I get it — she’s a single mom and probably needs a break. But I’m already bracing for a sugar-fueled mob in my living room, and two extra kids I’ve never even met might be more than I can handle.

Do I say something? Or do I just accept my fate and let chaos reign?

So… my neighbor’s cat has cracked the code on my dog door. At first, I thought it was a fluke, but nope — now she’s strolling in like she pays rent. She’ll curl up on the couch and often spend several days in a row here, like she’s officially moved in.

The funny part? My neighbor hasn’t even asked if anyone’s seen their “missing” cat! Meanwhile, I kind of love it. She’s sweet, cuddly, and honestly feels like part of the family.

So… do I say something to my neighbor, or just keep letting her treat my house like it’s her second home?

Here’s Tuesday’s Tail from the MSPCA Cape Cod:

Meet Kida, an active pup looking to add some sparkle to your life! Kida can be shy when meeting new people, but once she warms up, she’ll love to show you her sweet side. She’s a snack connoisseur, so she’ll love to continue working on her manners with her new family using positive reinforcement methods!

As a worried pup, Kida would likely do best in a quieter area, with adopters that can let her set the pace of how fast or slow she expands her bubble. Kida might like to go home with a confident dog to help show her the ropes, and who won’t be bothered by a rowdy pup! We have no history of Kida interacting with cats, but she might be able to go home with a dog-savvy cat with full separation to start and slow introductions.

Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Kida. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
