Dear Winifred, Aug. 18

Winny's back, and she's as friendly as always!

                                                     

 My sister and her two children are coming to stay for a few day, and while I dearly love my sister, she lets the kids run wild, and believe me, I do mean wild. We always have a piece or two of broken furniture. My stress level goes through the roof until they leave. Do you think I need to gently let my sister know that she needs to reign in her kids, just a bit? Signed The Couch is Not a Horse

 

Dear The Couch is Not a Horse--not only do I think you should tell your sister, 'gently' won't cut it. Sit her a*s down and let her know that you don't much care for her children, and they will no longer be welcome in your home. Tell her if that's a problem, tough s**t! Winifred
