Q: My husband refuses to wash his hands after using the bathroom. I feel like I’m raising three kids. What can I do to impress upon him?

Husband " Shane " refuses to wash his hands after using the bathroom.

His kids have also begun skipping hand washing after using bathroom as well.

Shane knows that he should wash hands, but they still try to skirt around it.

Give him an ultimatum to get it together and wash his damn hands.

One of her best friends is Brenda , a woman who is her same age, speaks her first language.

Brenda has opinions that make my stomach churn: She doesn't believe in abortion, opposes transgender rights, thinks there shouldn’t be gay books in schools.

I fear that some of Brenda 's ideas will rub off on my mother.

How can I talk to my mother about my worries? I assume that she is already aware of Brenda ’s opinions.

My daughter hates how the girls act but has zero authority over them, and their brother never acts when they behave badly.

I am sympathetic— Rick has taken on too much, and his sisters have real needs.
