99.9 the Q

Sheila & Eric’s Anniversary Drama:
They’ve been saving for years for a dream 20th-anniversary trip to Europe… but Sheila just found out Eric loaned several thousand dollars from their travel fund to his brother — without asking her first.

He says it was his half of the money, so it’s fine. She says it was supposed to be their shared fund for their trip.

Who’s right — does she have a right to be mad he dipped into their savings?

I have a 15-year-old daughter who’s started wearing some pretty revealing clothes lately — crop tops, tight shirts, low-cut necklines, short skirts that sort of thing. The tricky part is, they’re all hand-me-downs from her older sister, who wore the same things just two years ago.

The difference is, my younger daughter is more developed and taller, so those same outfits look a lot different on her. I don’t want to make her feel self-conscious or like her body is something she should be ashamed of — that’s the last thing I want. But at the same time, some of these outfits just don’t feel age-appropriate anymore.

Would it be wrong to tell her it’s different because of her body type? Or should I just let her wear them since I let her sister? I’m trying to figure out how to set boundaries without sending the wrong message.

When my daughter’s school asked for parent chaperones for the upcoming class trip, I jumped at the chance — I figured it’d be fun and a rare chance to see her and her friends in their natural habitat.

Well… my 14-year-old is mortified. She says I’ve “ruined her life” just by signing up, and now she’s begging me to back out. I honestly thought she’d be happy to have me along, but apparently, I’ve crossed the invisible line between “cool mom” and “total cringe.”

So, what do I do — respect her wishes and bow out gracefully, or stick with it since I already told the school I’d help?

My 9-year-old daughter came home from school in tears because she was the only girl in her class not invited to a birthday party.

She keeps asking if she did something wrong, and I honestly don’t know what to say. I’m heartbroken for her but also kind of angry. Part of me wants to reach out to the other mom to find out what happened. I’m not trying to start drama — I just want to know if my daughter did something to put her in this position. What if she’s a bully and I don’t know?

My husband says to stay out of it and let the kids work it out, but it’s really eating at me. Would it be wrong to call the other mom just to ask what’s going on?
