A “zero-screen family” just chastised me for showing their baby my phone.

I am the oldest child of three. I’m 12, my sister is 9, and my brother is 7. I know siblings often fight, and I’m not opposed to the occasional argument. But we have always been very physical. We are always hitting each other, screaming at each other, and giving the occasional tickle or wedgie.

Now, where are your parents? Your parents are the ones who need to be doing something here. If you are providing child care to your two younger siblings during the day while they are at work, you need to have them intervene and hand out consequences when they come home. If your parentsmind, very much, and you want the physicality to end, stat.

Since the pandemic began, I’ve been working from home, so I stayed with my parents from March to July. I went on a diet there, and I actually enjoyed it and the feeling of losing weight . My parents were very happy with me and very proud of me. Since I came back, I’ve been putting on some of the weight again, and it has again become a point of contention between me and my mom.

She said she promised not to say anything about my weight on the belief that I would keep up my end of the bargain by continuing to lose weight. She said if she had known I would gain weight, then my parents and I could’ve held me back at their house . I have no idea what to do with this situation or how to continue setting this boundary. I know I will have to upset my mom at some point, but I was really enjoying how close we became over the past few months.

Dear Care and Feeding: My Child Has Not Seen Any Friends in Five Months. Should I Be Worried?Our daughter seems perfectly happy, but I’m worried not seeing any peers at all for so long will have major effects on her. Of course the writer should be worried, and the panic mavens at Slate and elsewhere who have forced this situation on our society should have to answer for their crimes. How do children in rural communities who don't have siblings even survive? 'Perfectly happy'? Why believe that, she's probably miserable. Geez.
