Dear Abby column harmonizes baby longing and parental pressure
The column advises a 22 year old woman torn between pregnancy desires and her boyfriend's unease to wait, urging self reflection and future planning before a child. It also offers guidance to a college freshman seeking independence from controlling parents, recommending counseling and assertiveness training. A third reader asks how to handle inviting neighbors to a bar mitzvah without their children. Abby suggests gracious inclusion.
