My Friend Is Guilting Me Because I Can’t Attend Her Mom’s Burial Service Due to Childcare Issues: Is She Being Unreasonable or Am I Wrong?

A mom writes in asking for advice about a situation with her friend. She says her friend’s mom recently passed, and this mom had planned to attend the burial service. However, all of her options for having someone look after her daughter while she planned to go fell through, and for a variety of reasons, this mom does not want to bring her daughter to the service. After telling her friend she couldn’t make it, her friend told her that she was pulling the “mom card” and that her behavior would not be forgotten. Is the friend overreacting? Or did this mom make a mistake?

Is It True You Get Sicker When You’re Pregnant With a Boy?

A mom writes in asking for advice about her second pregnancy. She says she is pregnant and is much sicker this time than she was during her previous pregnancy (which produced a girl). She is wondering if the old wive’s tale that severe morning sickness early in pregnancy means you are having a boy is actually true. (She is only five weeks along and therefore does not know yet if it is a boy or a girl.)
