Dear Ann: Landers column on parenting and marriage
A reader asks if adopting a boy with a jailed stepfather will cause future humiliation and whether to move. Ann Landers advises not to relocate, urges open past-history talks, and notes the past record is part of life. Another reader complains of no Mother's Day gift and seeks guidance on marriage expectations. Landers affirms the wife's role and recommends a token gift. A third reader faces wedding costs and suggests a frugal American plan with the bride’s family paying if possible.
