Living with Children: A 3-point plan to get kids to do their own homework
Q: The school our 10-year-old daughter attends believes parents should micromanage homework sessions — they call it “being a homework buddy.” As a consequence, our daughter believes we should help her with her assignments.

Ex-Etiquette: Be conscious of your message to kids
Q. I have been divorced from my children’s father for 10 years. He cheated and even though we explored therapy, he kept cheating, and I was done. My kids were all adults and knew what was going on, understood why I left, but always wished I stayed. Their family life has never been the same. My ex and I now get along really well. Whenever there are family get-togethers we end up in the corner laughing about old times and afterward each child in one way or another starts talking about our reconciliation. I’ve explained I will always love their dad, but I don’t think we will ever reconcile. I’m afraid I’m actually hurting them by getting along with their father. What’s good ex-etiquette?
