Her daughter is 10 and they don’t allow her to have a phone yet. One of her close friends brings a phone to our house for playdates, and it takes over—texting, short videos, games—while her daughter (who doesn’t have one) ends up feeling left out. She wants a clear house rule: no personal devices at playdates—as in, please don’t bring the phone at all. If there’s ever an emergency or a check-in needed, her mom can call or text her directly; she already has my number.Her mom says she’s being too controlling and that the phone helps her daughter feel secure. Who is right?

Melissa from Mattapoisett writes:
Every year, my sister hosts Thanksgiving, and don’t get me wrong — the food is amazing. She puts on a full spread with every dish you can think of, homemade pies, the works. She really does go all out, and we all appreciate it.

The problem is, she takes it so seriously that it becomes stressful for everyone else. She wants everything timed perfectly, the table set a certain way, and no one allowed in the kitchen unless we’re doing it her way. If something isn’t just right, she gets visibly upset — snapping, huffing, running around like a drill sergeant.

Honestly, it ruins the vibe. We’re supposed to be enjoying the holiday, but instead, we’re walking on eggshells trying not to set her off.

So here’s my question: should we say something to her — like, “Hey, Thanksgiving is supposed to be fun, not a production”? Or do we just let her do her thing since she’s the host and clearly takes pride in it? It’s not just about us we’d like her to be less stressed and having fun too..

Gina and Francesca’s grandmother owned a famous Italian restaurant in New York and guarded her recipes like family heirlooms — especially her marinara sauce. She never shared them while she was alive, but promised her granddaughters would get them someday.

Now that she’s gone and the restaurant is closed, the sisters finally have the recipes. Francesca wants to honor her grandmother’s legacy by creating and selling a tribute cookbook featuring the original dishes and the restaurant’s name. Gina, on the other hand, feels those recipes were meant to be kept in the family — not published for profit.

Both could really use the money, but would it be wrong to publish Grandma’s recipes and the restaurant name? Or should they protect her secrets, just like she did?
