Dear Ann Landers,
ast Sunday our family drove over one hundred miles to visit my brother, his wife, and their newborn son. Midway through dinner, my sister-in-law left the table to take care of her infant. When we finished the meal, she called for us to come and say good-bye. I almost fainted when I saw she was breast-feeding her baby. Since then, our children, who are eleven, nine, seven, and five years of age, have been bothering me with questions about sex. I am furious with my sister-in-law for placing me in this embarrassing position. I hadn't figured on mentioning sex to my children until they were older. This stupid woman knew we were leaving for home right after dinner. Why couldn't she have waited an-other thirty minutes to nurse her baby? I'd like to take this matter up with her, but I don't know what to say. Will you please lambaste her for rudely leaving the table and behaving in this repulsive manner in front of my children?-Disgusted

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?
