Dear Ann Landers, 30 through dinner is a huge responsibility. You said asking to get paid might be Babette's way of sticking it to the ex-wife. I believe it's the other way around. It's the ex-wife's way of sticking it to Babette. It looks to me like the ex is looking for free child care. And you fell for it. Dumb-dee dumb dumb. -Been There in Auburn, Ky. Dear Been There: You would not believe the avalanche of mail I received on this subject. Keep reading:

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.
