Care and Feeding: What to do when your husband makes you feel like a bad mom

Dear Care and Feeding : My husband made a comment that made me feel like a bad mom.

He said that since my second son was born, my first no longer seems important to me and that I focus solely on the newborn.

You should tell him how hurtful this is, and I hope he can hear that and apologize.

Dear Care and Feeding : How do we let him be a kid but also balance our desire to avoid fighting and violence-oriented toys? Dear Don’t Shoot, I hate guns, and I think it’s a symptom of a broken society that we have turned them into toys.

You could buy him a water gun and tell him it's the only one he’ll ever get.
