Dear Mama Chantel, for the past few years,
my father has been in a serious relationship,
but they recently broke up.
Then out of the blue last week, she DMed me, and asked me out.
I didn't know what to say so I told her, I'd think about it.
She's over 20 years older than me, but she is very attractive.
And I would love to date her.
What should I do?
And how do I tell my dad?
Sincerely, Son-In-Love.
If you ask me, you should have signed
this letter Son-Of-A-Gun!
How are you gonna--
How are you gonna date your dad's ex-girlfriend?
And what do you mean, how are you going to tell him?
You should have told him the moment she contacted you.
Where is your loyalty?
You know what?
[WOOD CLANKING]
You just fell out the knucklehead tree.
Do you want to ruin your relationship with your father
for the rest of your life?
Not only that, do you really think this woman
actually wants to date you?
She was dating your father, he probably broke up with her.
Now she wants to use you to hurt your dad,
and you have to think about it?
And you don't know what to do?
You need to move out, for real.
I hope your dad doesn't find out about you
not knowing what to say.
I am through with you.
And don't write me any more letters until you get help.

Hi, Mama Chantel.
My mother-in-law is constantly telling me that I
am not feeding my baby enough.
She actually asked me, if my baby was crying at night,
because I was starving her.
I'm so sick of her parenting tips.
She hasn't had little kids in decades.
My husband doesn't help at all.
He just placates her.
How do I tell my mother-in-law to lay off the advice,
and let me raise my own family?
Sincerely, Mother-In-Law Madness.
Wow.
Mother-In-Law Madness, I have the remedy
and it goes as follows.
You plan for yourself a two week getaway.
You tell your mother-in-law and your husband
that you won't be back for two weeks.
Tell them that they're in charge of everything,
including the baby.
Go on your trip.
I know it's going to be hard, but you can do it.
You owe it to yourself.
Take that time to reflect, and relax,
and readjust, and revamp.
When they are at home with the baby, turn off your cell phone.
Don't take any of their calls.
You can tell them where you are, but don't take
any calls from them When you return home, trust me,
they will be cured.
