Dear Ann Landers,
y new husband, "Dave," and my 21-year-old daughter, "Barbara," have become buddies. I think the way they dress around the house is entirely too suggestive. Dave wanders around in his jockey shorts, just like he did when he lived alone. At night, Barbara will flounce around in the living room, or even in our bedroom, wear-ing only a towel or an oversized T-shirt and perfume. I've voiced my disapproval, but neither sees anything wrong. Barbara tells me she sees more at her coed college dormitory. Dave says, "I'm wearing the same thing people wear at the beach." Maybe I'm prudish, but their underwear is not swimwear. Almost everything is visible in these outfits. My first husband never left the bedroom unless he was fully dressed. Shouldn't there be even more modesty between Barbara and her stepfather? -Worried in New Jersey

Dear Worried,
Barbara sounds like a seductive little wench, and your husband has popcorn where his brains belong. Tell your daughter to knock off the striptease, and let your husband know you will not tol-erate any more semi-nudity.

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?
