Georgia, I have a question, I (22M) was on Facetime with my girlfriend (20F) and my sister (11F) walks in. She has tears streaming down her face. I quickly move to comfort her. She comes in for a hug, and I hold her face while wiping a tear, asking her what happened (doesn’t matter, typical 11-year-old stuff). My girlfriend is made uncomfortable by this and tells me that she thinks it's really weird to, as she put it, caress her face. I’m quite confused by this, as I consider this a normal interaction between us siblings. Am I in the wrong her...
Georgia, I have a question, My daughter is fourteen and still sleeps with a buys stuffed animals. How do I get to stop? This is so embarrassing! Too Old For Stuffies Dear Too Old, You need to grow up! Yes, you! How does what your daughter sleeps with, in the privacy of her own bed, embarrass you? I am an aged adult and I still sleep with a teddy bear. I use it because it supports my arm and besides that, it is cute as heck! Maybe your daughter needs emotional support and comfort... probably from you... as you don’t seem the most loving i...
Georgia, I have a question. My wife changed her Facebook status from “married” to “widowed”. Should I be worried? Not Dead Yet Yet, Yet is the key word here! Get outta there! Run, run, RUN! With love, Georgia Georgia, I have a question. I have a dog. His name is Charlie and he is four years old. I’m just wondering when I should start to teach him about sex. What age do you think is appropriate? Naive Pupper Pupper, I highly doubt your pupper doesn’t already know about the birds and the bees. Also, this isn’t exactly something someone can t...
Georgia, I have a question, I hate this word, but it is the only way to describe this. Why is my grandma’s house always...moist? Like, everything just feels swampy in there. She lives here in Montana, with no humidity, yet I feel like I’m in the bayou when I visit. Her table is damp, her chair is wet, and the air is...well, again, moist. I don’t get it. Disliking the Moisture Dear Moisture, Oh, moisture...it is a crazy thing. My guess is your grandma has a humidifier that may be turned on a little too often, which may make the Montana air f...
Georgia, I have a question, Are birth control pills tax deductible? Planning Ahead Dear Planning, Only if they don’t work. With love, Georgia Georgia, I have a question, I am a twenty-three-year-old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It’s getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost. The problem is, I don’t know him well enough to discuss money with him. What should I do? Don't Know Him Dear Know Him, don’t know the man you’re sleeping with well enough to discuss money with him, you certainly...
Georgia, I have a question, I’ve always been fascinated by the Superheroes we grew up watching on the Saturday morning cartoons. Many of these, we now know as adults, were just make-believe, being just, you know, cartoons, but when movies like Superman came out later on, we KNEW that he, at least, was real, even though he was actually an alien, which explains his powers. Batman, although he was a Superhero, didn’t really have any powers; he just had some amazing toys! Then, we learned that Spiderman and The Flash were real too, even though the...
Georgia, I have a question, I need advice! My fiance and I are having lots of issues right now. We can’t stop fighting and I don’t know what to do. I quit my job because wedding planning is taking up so much time and now my fiance is refusing to get a second job. He doesn’t understand that I don’t have time to get ready for work, drive to work, be somewhere else all day, and drive home - I need to be HOME to plan this wedding! I asked him to get a second job and he won’t - he says he already works 60+ hours a week and that I need to get a job...
Dear Georgia, I have a question. I’m a single mom going to college and living with my sister. A couple of weeks ago, I asked my neighbor, a very nice guy, if he could watch my kids for two hours while I went to class because my sister was not home. He agreed. If he babysits and doesn’t accept pay, can I sue him for child support because he took on a fatherly role? I’m sure I can convince a court that he accepted a fatherly role, which is how who owes child support is determined in my home state. I really need this money. What do you think...
Georgia, I have a question. I’m Gen X and I have a huge problem with how I am left carrying the weight for Millenials. For example, I’m 42 and my daughter is 22. She decided a while ago she does not want any kids. She’s actually getting a procedure for sterilization next year. But those souls needing to come into our family for ancestral or karmic reasons still need to be born. So I’m stuck birthing and raising two babies who should have been born to her but can’t be because she’s too selfish to have kids. We joke how my 1.5-year-ol...
Dear Georgia, After years of shopping at Walmart, I have become aware that the acceptable shopping attire at these stores is pajamas, of varying sorts, and to one degree or another. I’m not mentioning any place names or my age, but in the time and place where I grew up, this would not have been in the least acceptable. However, times DO change, and as they say, When in Rome... So anyway, my question. Since most days I wear pajamas all day since I work from my home office, do I need to change into my nighttime PJs before I head out to W...
Dear Readers: Jo has retired from her column, at least for the time being. Please welcome Georgia, our newest satire etiquette advice giver! Georgia, I have a question, How do I convince my cousin, who is dead set on a home birth, NOT to do an at-home circumcision on her son? Her husband is training to be a veterinarian and currently crops ears and docks tails, so she thinks he should be able to perform a circumcision just fine. This makes me very nervous for the baby! Signed, What to Do?!? Dear What, WHAT!!!???!!! Ears and tails are NOT the...
