"My wife and I are hardly speaking because of an incident that happened at Walmart over the weekend. She and I and our three kids were waiting to check out when a woman cut in front of us. I didn't say anything. On the way home, my wife lambasted me in front of the children saying I should have said something. I wanted to teach the kids that conflict is not a solution. I told my wife I allowed the woman to go because it was more important to her than us. My wife inferred that I am a wimp and should have blasted her. I disagree and think it would have sent the wrong message to the children if I had done that. My wife says it would have showed that it is ok to stick up for yourself. Where do you stand on this? Am I a wimp? Should I have said something?"

"A huge family fight has erupted in my house because my mother-in-law is moving in. I told my husband we need to establish ground rules for her similar to our teenage sons. He looked at me like I was joking. His mother leads an active social life. I don't want her traipsing into our home at midnight on a school night nor do I want strange men coming and going. He says we can't treat her like a teenager. He also says she shouldn't have any rules. What do you think? Who do you side with... me or my husband?"
