Dear Childless Friend,
My teenage children refuse to spend Mother's Day with me. What should I do?
- Lonely Mom
Dear Lonely,
Send them a thank-you card, as is customary with such a thoughtful gift.

Dear Childless Friend,
My kids insist on making an inedible breakfast for me, when all I want is Dunkin Donuts. Help!
- Hungry Mom
Dear Hungry,
Ask them to make you a doughnut; you will treasure it as a paperweight for years to come.

Dear Childless Friend,
Why isn't there any special Mother's Day candy? Jesus gets marshmallow peeps, Santa gets red and green M&Ms, I get squat. What gives?
- Sugar-Coated Mom
Dear Sugar,
It's not personal. The taste of guilt and self-sacrifice just doesn't make a great truffle filling.
