Dear Ann Landers, oday's column was the last straw. Another let-ter about sex. And kinky sex, at that. I have four teenagers who fight for your part of the paper. I just die when you print such garbage and it gets worse every day. I am a mature, broad-minded per-son, but enough is enough. Like the woman whose husband wanted her to wear black nylon stockings and a garter belt to bed. My kids just roared. Today the 14-year-old daughter had a sore throat and we were afraid she might develop rheumatic fever. She didn't have the slightest idea what rheumatic fever was, but she knows all about VD-thanks to Ann Landers. Cool it, will you please? A MOTHER WHO LOVES HER KIDS
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , I’ll call it the problem of the “returnees.” “Returnees” are young adult children we thought were happily mar-ried, permanently settled in their homes or apartments and able to manage financially without any help from us. Now, at long last, we parents can finally (hallelujah!) live our own lives. Right? Wrong. The adult child arrives, suitcases in hand, carry-ing a pet (or a child) and announces that he/she is getting a divorce and returning home. Ann, these days, a great many adult children run back to Mama and Papa and are sure that “the folks” will support them as they did before they married. Many of us are just barely making ends meet, and it’s a real struggle. How can parents protect themselves from children who return to the nest and expect to be treated as children when they are in their 30s and 40s? -S.G., Uniondale, N.Y.
