Wife’s public breastfeeding may not have cost spouse job

Dear Discreet: You are correct that breastfeeding in public is gaining acceptance. There is nothing wrong with it.

While you might mention your concerns to her, please allow me to point out that there may have been other reasons that your son was let go from his job. And one of them may have been that, indeed, he — not she — didn’t fit in.

Dear Abby: I recently moved in with my older sister, and so far, things have been great. I have met all her friends, and we have hit it off quite well.

When I meet her guy friends, they always comment on how beautiful she is and how they really like her. But then they’ll add a little side note about how “cute” I am.

I don’t like being called cute while they call her beautiful.

Am I crazy to be getting mad over this? Should I bring it up with her or let it all blow over?

Dear Cute Sister: There’s nothing your sister can do to muzzle her male friends, who probably think that they are paying you a compliment.

I can’t see anything to be gained by bringing this to her attention because she’s blameless.

Because you feel you are being damned with faint praise, being told that you are cute while they describe her as being beautiful, the thing to do would be to tell them “humorously” that they need to work on some new material.
