Dear Ann Landers,
t's obvious you don't have a son or you could never have printed such a stupid answer to "Daughter-in-Law." I'd like to respond to that self

Dear Daughter-in-Law,
You seem to have a lot to say about what a rotten job I did raising my son. Why didn't you write "Dear Mom and Dad"? The boy did have a father, you know. Or do you think the stork brought him? Girls like you make me sick. You have quite a load of anger for "lousy mothers." Do you honestly believe there are no "lousy children"? Since you've made it clear that I did such a miserable job on your husband, please don't ask me to babysit with your children anymore. I'd hate to have a hand in ruining them, too. -You Know Who I Am Dear You Know Who: You can't say I didn't give you equal time. If your daughter-in-law recognizes herself, you haven't heard the last of this. And neither have I.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
