"Dear Mamas, At Thanksgiving we always get together with my mom’s side of the family and one of my uncles always wants to talk politics at the table. My brother’s wife is definitely on the other end of the spectrum, and everyone knows it, so everyone is walking on eggshells throughout dinner and trying to change the subject. I end up being a nervous wreck. I love the show and would be grateful for any advice." - Listener Submission

To keep things civil, especially in a period of political hostility, it's important to step back and remember what Thanksgiving is all about - love and giving thanks for your blessings. If you bring humor and love to the situation, you'll be able to get past anything else. When it comes to Thanksgiving, the only "party foul/fowl" should be the one on the table! The Mamas, Teri Spinks Netterville and Denise Vinson Arthur, had some great insights on "Mom on the Run".

"I have two nieces who have come to live with my wife, son, and myself. One is 15 years old. I found the condoms taken from our drawer in her room. I have not said anything to my wife yet, and not sure what to say to my niece. I'm torn because this shouldn't be happening, but at the same time, should I be so naive? Really have no clue what to do. My son is 4, I'm not ready for this!!! Please help." - Listener Submission

Oh, this is a tough one! While an uncomfortable subject now, this is ultimately a good opportunity to address boundaries and trust. Mamas Teri Spinks Netterville and Denise Vinson Arthur tackled this tricky topic on "Mom on the Run".

"Dear Mamas, with Thanksgiving coming up next week, I’m finding myself dreading what should be a wonderful holiday. The reason is my mother-in-law. She can’t stop herself from criticizing everything I do as a mother - how we raise our kids, what our house looks like, how my stuffing tastes! I can’t stand it! Help!" - Listener Submission

"Dear Mamas, I'm so frustrated. My husband and I get along in absolutely every area of our life except the area of money. I don't know why we can't seem to come together on this. Our priorities with how to spend our money and what to spend it on could not be farther from each other. I need help. If it weren't for money issues, we'd have a dream marriage. I've heard that finance is the leading cause of divorce and that scares me. How can we compromise on this particular problem? I'm tired of thinking, talking, and fighting about money." - Listener Submission

This is a great topic, and a dilemma all couples deal with. The money conversation is definitely an important one to have, and regularly. What works for some may not work for others, and it's good to figure out a good compromise between your financial priorities and your spouse's. We had the Mamas, Teri Spinks Netterville and Denise Vinson Arthur, weigh in on "What Would Mama Do?"

"I love my husband dearly and our three children. I'm proud of the life we've built together but there's some days he makes me so mad, I just literally want to walk out the front door. Isn't marriage supposed to be 50/50? Have you all ever felt like this?" - Listener Submission

The Mamas took on this question Friday, but the topic has been so popular, we've brought it back to discuss further. As the day to day grates on you, it's hard to balance everything, and often your relationship can suffer from a lack of appreciation or recognition of value. Love IS a choice and one you have to make frequently, even when your spouse is driving you crazy. Denise Vinson Arthur and Teri Spinks Netterville gave us some more insight on love and "marital stubbornness" on "What Would Mama Do?" Listen in.

If your husband has ever made you so mad that you have just literally want to walk right out the front door, then you'll want to pull up a chair and a fresh cup of coffee to listen as Mamas Teri Spinks Netterville and Denise Vinson Arthur get real about the secret of a happy marriage. It's something they call the "stubbornness" factor and if you don't have it, you'll want to get it after listening to this episode of What Would Mama Do?

Dear Mamas: My husband always makes too much small talk, or chit-chat, with the teachers at parent-teacher conferences. We only have about 7 to 10 minutes and there’s no time to waste with his funny stories about homework. I always feel I leave without giving or getting enough information. Any suggestions on things I need to address to make everyone's life easier? Take a listen to this clip as Denise Vinson Arthur lays out what to do, and what NOT to say, during your next parent-teacher conference.

"Dear Mamas, I was listening to Robert and Erin this morning regarding the F grade at Sunset Acres. I noticed they did not totally agree on the state of the school. I wonder where you two stand. Close the doors or give credit where credit is due?" - Listener Text Submission

Good question! What is failing these kids? To figure this one out, you have to consider all of the factors that go into bad ratings like these. Mamas Denise Vinson Arthur and Teri Spinks Netterville broke down the possible causes for the school's failure and proposed some solutions on "What Would Mama Do?"

"Have you seen the billboard on I-20 for the Hustler Club? It's disgusting. I mean, my kids are in the car as we drive by. I understand that the business has a right to advertise but does it have the be there and in such a lewd and suggestive way? What can we do about this so I don't have to explain to my children why that lady with no clothes on is licking her finger?" - Listener Submission

By now, you've probably seen the aforementioned billboard and/or the petition for its removal circling your social media. The petition directed at Governor John Bel Edwards, now has nearly 6,100 supporters. Should the billboard be removed? And if so, how should it be done? We got Mama Denise Vinson Arthur​ to weigh in on the situation on "What Would Mama Do?​"

"Dear Mamas,
We're having problems with kids gossiping... I've told my daughter that her friends excitedly telling her about what her ex is doing and with whom aren't good friends at all. They know this stuff hurts her... and yet they still insist on telling her details and things she doesn't need to know... Why do they have to be a bunch of pot-stirrers and how can we stop it?" - Listener Submission

Often teenagers, and even adults, find excitement in gossip. But these habits are more damaging and unnecessary than anything else. A true friend protects and considers feelings in situations like these. We got input from the Mamas, Teri Spinks Netterville and Denise Vinson Arthur, on this one, and they had some great advice.

"If a friend is withdrawing more than they're depositing, find a new bank."
