Question: I attended university more than a decade ago, but fell several credits shy of my engineering degree. My current boss hired me while I was still a student and doesn’t know that I never actually graduated. Now I’m up for a big job with another company and I’ve been asked to submit my resume. [...]

Question: My husband and I are having a boy in a few months, and my husband wants to have him circumcised. He has a number of reasons, from religious beliefs to aesthetics, and is quite adamant about it. He says it’s safe and our son won’t remember the pain. I’m not so sure. And I [...]

Question: My husband loves dogs, and has had one since he was a kid. When we married, his beloved pet was right by his side during the ceremony. Then we had kids, and the dog grew older. In addition to being a stay-at-home mom, I became official dog walker, dog taxi driver for vet appointments [...]

Question: My mother passed on about two years ago, but before she did, she spoke to my siblings and I individually about what things she’d like us to have.

Unfortunately, several of my pals think that means they have carte blanche to walk away from the bill when [...]

Here’s the Question: I rent a room in a wonderful two-bedroom condo, but unfortunately some of my property has gone missing. I noticed change disappearing from my dresser, then the odd item of clothing from my closet or book from my bookshelf. Snooping through my roommates room, I noticed she has some of the stuff [...]

Here’s the Question: My husband wants to make a career change — into something he’s not qualified for. If we were in our 20s, I probably wouldn’t have thought twice about it, but we’re in our late 40s, with children and a mortgage and need to be thinking about retirement and saving for college/university for [...]

So here’s today’s question: My boyfriend of two years forgot my birthday entirely. No cake! No card! No gift! The thing is I’ve been dropping hints like crazy about things I want. I gave him the cold shoulder the next day until he remembered what day it was. Duh. I’m beginning to think he may [...]
