This week, Prudence flies solo and argues with—or against—her better angels. She anoints the Worst Commercial of the Year and advises a woman wondering if she has to let a family member with money trouble live in her empty investment apartment.
But Prudie prefers letters that don’t have to do with someone getting put out on the street—especially letters about meat-eating parents trolling their vegetarian daughter-in-law. For example: Should those parents pay the hospital bill when they feed their grandson a forbidden cheeseburger—and he comes down with food poisoning?
Plus: Are you reading too much into it when your friend offers your husband a massage, how should you handle your homophobic father, and how much say does your family have over your armpit hair?
