Family alcoholism conversation: parenting advice from Care and Feeding

Dear Care and Feeding,  My husband and I both come from families of heavy drinkers, something I would say is a part of our respective cultures. Throughout our childhoods and to this day, beer, wine, and vodka flow freely at our family’s homes. My husband and I have been exceedingly careful to avoid alcohol addiction, but many of our family members are functioning alcoholics. It’s hard to tell because they’re all “regular” adults who hold down normal jobs and behave normally. But no dinner, Mass, gathering, or party is complete without cases of alcohol. Advertisement As a result of this, my kids have no idea that alcoholism runs in both families. It’s time to start the conversation, since I was definitely drinking by the time I was their age. I’m just not sure how to talk about the genetic aspect. I feel like I’ll be throwing my family members under the bus if I point out who has a problem with alcohol, but at the same time, the genetic aspect is a really big deal.

How teachers should handle students who lie

. I am a teacher, and I’m looking for some perspective on how to deal with students who lie. I teach math completely remotely, and it has been really important for student learning that students complete daily assignments, most of which are completed during class time (what would homework even mean when we are all at home all the time?). I have flexible plans in place for students in crisis, students without internet, students who just need me to cut them some slack. When an assignment is blank after its due date, I mark it missing (which at my school means a grade of 40 percent). For lots of students, that missing mark is the trigger that says, “Oh yeah I spaced out in class today, I need to spend some time on this.” They finish it, they let me know, I update my gradebook. However, I have a few students who send me emails asking me if I made a mistake because a missing assignment was, in fact, completed. Sometimes they claim clerical errors, but usually they straight up lie a

Wife wants to be stay-at-home mom: parenting advice from Care and Feeding

Dear Care and Feeding, I am a new father to a beautiful 10-month-old girl. My wife’s company has a generous maternity leave policy, and she has been at home with our daughter since the birth and is scheduled to go back to work just after her first birthday in January. She recently told me she doesn’t want to go back to her job and would like to be a stay-at-home parent instead. I asked her why, and she said she enjoys being a mother too much to leave our daughter to go back to work when she doesn’t need to. This is such a departure from our plans before the baby was born. She has a good job that she enjoyed before going on leave, and had always been adamant that she wanted to continue working even after becoming a mom. We met when we worked at the same company many years ago, and one of the things I was most attracted to was her ambition and tenacity. It’s really surprising to hear that her career isn’t that important to her anymore.

Junk food sneaker: parenting advice from Care and Feeding

Dear Care and Feeding, My daughter (8 years old) sneaks food constantly. Though we generally have healthy food around the house, occasionally we’ll have some treats (think Girl Scout Cookies, sweets sent by Grandma, or leftovers from a meal out). She’ll wake up at 5 a.m. and treat herself to a junk breakfast, leaving very little for the rest of us. I am concerned by this behavior. It’s been ongoing for two years. At first we tried to ignore it, hoping it was just a phase; we then tried talking openly with her about honesty and sneaking around, but that didn’t work either. She’s physically healthy and definitely eats enough at meals. She just seems to have an insatiable sweet tooth. Having struggled with some disordered eating as a teen, I am intimately aware that creating too many emotions around food can do more harm than good. But I don’t want my daughter sneaking/stealing/hiding food. How do I extinguish this behavior in a healthy, productive way that doesn’t lead t
