Dear Answer Angel Ellen: I’ve written you twice before about our mutual dislike of capri pants and all things capri-like. I hope I’m not being too optimistic, but am I seeing fewer women wearing capris or pedal pushers this summer? At least that’s my take of what I’m seeing in the city and some suburbs. I can only hope it’s true.

Q. My father and mother broke up when I when I was 10, and a few years later my mom married my bonus dad. He is truly a bonus to my life and has been there for me through everything, just as my father has. I’m getting married next month and I’m struggling with the same problem so many face. Who walks me down the aisle? I would like to honor them both and I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. What’s good ex-etiquette?

Q: Our 8-year-old, the oldest of three, is often rude to his siblings. I know some sibling conflict is normal, but this seems excessive. I hear him multiple times per day tell his younger brothers how annoying they are. In addition, he often yells at them to stop whatever they are doing that he doesn’t like. We’ve asked him to stop berating and yelling at them and have him rephrase his disrespectful words, but his disrespect doesn’t seem to be improving and it’s beginning to drive us up the wall. Thanks for any advice you can give us.
