Dear Kari,

My son is home from college and staying back at home for summer. I was in his room dropping off something and I saw that he has ma*****na on his bedside table. I was shocked! I never would have thought my son smoked pot and I am very disappointed. He was not home when I discovered this and I have not mentioned it to him yet. I am against taking all drugs. How do I handle this?

Dear Kari,

My friend from book club pulled me aside at the last gathering and informed me that my husband was on the dating site Tinder. I could not believe that she talked to me about this at a social event that had numerous people in attendance. Although she spoke to me alone, it was an incredibly awkward evening from that moment on. Don't you think this was inappropriate of her?

Dear Kari,

I recently started a new job working for a former colleague of mine from a previous company I worked at. He is now my boss. The first few weeks went well, then he started belittling me in meetings and through email. How should I handle this? I need this job to provide for my family, but I cannot keep taking his disparaging comments about me on a weekly basis. What do you suggest I do?

Dear Kari,

My mother-in-law is a kind, sweet woman but has a history of making poor financial choices and now can no longer pay her bills. She is divorced and has no savings. My wife would like us to help her out and if needed move her into our home. I am not happy that we have to pay for her expenses, but I definitely do not think we should move her into our home. Plus, she has other children to help her out besides my wife and I. What do you think we should do?

Dear Kari,

My mother recently passed away after a short illness and now my father has taken up with a new, young lady friend that he met at a casino. My parents were married for 54 years; I can't believe that my dad has found someone so soon after my mother's death, especially someone who is so young (my dad is 79 and his lady friend is 30). I tried talking to him about my concerns that he is grieving and acting out by dating someone so young, but he will not discuss it with me. What can I do to make him listen to me?

Dear Kari,

My ex-husband (we were married for 3 years), has just friended his ex-girlfriend on Facebook. I saw the post announcing that they were friends, and I almost passed out! He told me that he would never speak to her again when we were married. He told me that he never truly liked her or trusted her, yet he is now friendly with her again. What should I do? Should I confront him?

Dear Kari,

My daughter recently got engaged. She met her fiancé online two months ago. I am very concerned she is jumping way too fast into marriage. She has had only 10 dates with her fiancé, yet they plan to get married on Valentine's Day this year. How can I help her see rushing into a legal marriage is not a good decision, and she should wait until she gets to know her fiancé better?

Dear Kari,

My neighbor was interviewed at my company recently and I was actually in the interview process with her at one point. I felt so awkward during the meeting, and lately she has been asking me for insider information on the job opportunity. I feel stuck between neighborly kindness and professional guidelines. How can I be a good neighbor and a good employee?

Dear Kari,

My husband recently told me that he wants me to dress in lingerie. More specifically, wear fancy bras and underwear even when I am just hanging around the house. I don't know what to do with this request. I thought we had a good marriage and s*x life, but now I am beginning to wonder where this request is coming from. What do you think is going on?

Dear Kari,

My 21 year-old college son wants to have his girlfriend sleep over at our home when they visit for the holidays. I am happy to have her stay with us, but I do not feel that they should sleep in the same bedroom. My husband disagrees; he feels that our son is an adult and sleeping with his girlfriend is acceptable. This is causing a lot of strife in our family, please help.
