Hello, again dear readers, and welcome back to the letters column. We hope that 2022 is treating you well thus far, and that the post-holidays reentry to "normal" life has been painless. You've kept our inboxes busy with questions and comments, so let's get down to work.

Should I ask her dad to get a second job so I can stay home? – Aspiring SAHM
