by Margo Howard
Dear Margo: Why do people feel the need to make comments about unusual numbers and sexes and looks of families? I am a mother of three daughters, one son and a stepdaughter. Invariably, when we're out, someone makes a comment. Before the birth of my son we would hear, "That's a lot of weddings" and "Are you going to keep going until you get a boy?"

Margo, I usually think the advice you give is okay but the one about the girl and the guy who has emotional problems was completely off. I think you should have focused on the girl. Why in God's name would she have spent so much of her time on someone who doesn't want to be loving towards her? What is her problem? He doesn't like to kiss? She was hurt when he warned her about his emotional issues? She's a moron whose playing the "if he changes for me then it will mean I actually have real value" game. You should have told her to pull her head out of her butt and get some therapy.

There is a saying. A woman marries a man thinking she'll change him, and he doesn't. A man marries a woman thinking she won't change, and she does.
