Dear Dr Sadie,
My wife and I welcomed our first baby into the family 6 months ago. About the same time, my wife's sister, Martha, had been unemployed for over a year and was about to lose her apartment. We proposed that she move into our spare room to help out with the baby and get herself reintegrated into society.
It's been 6 months, and she's done nothing but watch soaps, sleep until noon and eat our food. She is no help at all, and she shows no signs of getting her life back on track. I'm afraid that we're stuck with her. My wife won't have the hard conversation with her.
What should I do?
- Sick of the In-Law
You should grow another children. This one will be a boy.
You should write a thank you note to your sister. I don't know what you should say in the note.
You should talk to her. You should say "boom there."

Arms wide closed
Dear Dr. Sadie,
I am 15 years old, and an only child. Life is pretty good, but my parents are about to mess it up. They are in the process of getting our house approved as a foster home. Within a few months we are going to start getting new kids coming into our home. I can't help feeling that my needs are going to be put on the back burner for the sake of these new kids.
What can I do?
- Likes being an only child
You could get them into the house another time. Maybe at Christmas time. Everybody likes Christmas time.
You're going to have a new brother and new sister. Their names are going to be Carmichael, Carmichael, Carmichael and Mooshie. If I had a sister, her name would be Mr. Brown.
You should be happy about your new family. You're going to be a big brother. That's very exciting.

Water, water, nowhere
Dear Dr. Sadie,
There are a lot of people around the world who don't have clean water to drink. Because they don't have good water, or a good bathroom, they can get sick very easily. What do you think I can do to help?
Sympathetic to the Thirsty
You can get them some fresh water. You can get it at the co-op. If they don't have any water, you can get them some seltzer.
I will get them a new bathroom. You can find one at the co-op.
It sounds like they have to go shopping. Maybe they could just stay home and wander around in their living rooms.
Maybe all of these people should just go somewhere else. Maybe they could go stay with their brother. Where does their brother live?
