My little girl is six and decidedly mediocre. She showed me an awful scribbled picture she drew and said, “Isn’t this special?” I asked what was special about it to her.
Malls are a joke. I’m a buyer for a department store, and when I walk into malls, I feel like I’m on the streets of NYC, with sale signs over the windows and brown boxes instead of displays.
My husband and I own a restaurant. We put up a sign saying that Service Dogs are allowed because the government’s ADA (American with Disabilities Act) says we have to allow them.

I’m very insecure, but I’ve always been the funny girl, because I make fun of myself. I dress weird and have frizzy hair. People love me because I put myself down.
My mom reads your column. I’m writing because I’m scared. My girlfriend and other junior high friends are playing a game, called Momo, on their phones.
Dear Rhonda and Dr. Cheri,
My brother’s friend did sexual things to me against my will. He threatened me, if I tell on him. No one else was home, except him.
Dear Rhonda and Dr. Cheri,
Our daughter was suspended from school due to her smoking pot on campus. Surprise! She’s been smoking pot for two years and argues it’s not bad for her.
Dear Rhonda and Dr. Cheri,
I asked my 12 year-old granddaughter, “What are your most important values?” She answered, “What?” I said, “What’s gives you a sense of purpose in life?”
Dear Rhonda and Dr. Cheri,
I’m a single mom of a 4-year-old son in preschool. My son and another kid in his class are completely out of control. He wasn’t like this until the other boy showed up.
Dear Rhonda and Dr. Cheri, My granddaughter is a spoiled brat. She talks back to her mom. She demands and tells her mom what she’s going to do. She never gets consequences.
