Reader query: “I found a thong and condoms in my husband’s suitcase, what now?!” And what’s the best advice your therapist ever gave you? The feedback are unimaginable.

Plus, 4 reader feedback:

Says Emily on the brand new manner my children do chores: “With chores, I often appeal to my kid’s identities. It took exactly one week for my 10-year-old to become CEO of lunch-making. You are the family gardener! You are car concierge! It feels easier to notice and mange a task when it feels like your responsibility and part of your identity.”

Says Marina on how lengthy can I name my child a child: “When my 52-year-old brother was saying goodbye to our dying mom, my dad said that the absolute love and adoration on her face was the same look she gave my brother on the day he was born. Heartbreakingly beautiful.”

Sarah on what’s the best advice your therapist ever gave you: “Best advice I got from my therapist: smart people ask questions. I’ve struggled with not feeling smart enough ever since I was a kid. So much so that I despise playing board games because I don’t want to appear stupid for not understanding the rules. Her telling me that was eye opening. I want to cross-stitch her statement on a pillow.”

Says Cat on have a fantastic weekend: “When you live what feels like a million miles away from nearly all the other women who read this blog, it feels WILD when the first link takes you to a cottage on one of your favorite local beaches. Couldn’t believe it! Cup of Jo AAF (always and forever).”
