On this week’s episode, Rebecca and Gabe answer a question from a listener whose son has Down syndrome and who wants to know how to respond when other kids treat him badly—and another from a listener whose husband is better than she is at taking me-time. Plus: parenting triumphs and fails, recommendations, and more. And on Slate Plus this week, how to cope with “ridiculously long and expensive” school supply lists.

Recommendations:

  • Rebecca recommends hosting a foreign exchange student.
  • Gabe recommends letting little kids help take care of babies.
