Strawberry Letter

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m tired of motherhood.  Sorry, but I am no longer interested in being a mother.  I am 28 years old and I have a 5 year old daughter that is disrespectful, obnoxious and constant source of embarrassment in public.  She is out of control on a daily basis.  Beating her behind does not help and I don’t know what else to do.  I have tried many ways of disciplining her.  Reverse psychology and time out don’t work on her.  I can’t seem to get thru to her without yelling and arguing.  Why am I arguing with a 5 year old?

Dear Steve and Shirley, I just broke up with a great woman that I had planned to spend my life with. I got a ring and proposed and we were planning our wedding. We are both under 30 and we’ve been together since we were in college. Everything was perfect until recently, when an argument was blown way out of control and my fiancé tried to fight me. Yes, out of nowhere, she pushed me first and then tried to slap me, but I ducked. I will admit that I was wrong for texting a female co-worker, but I let the co-worker know that I was with my fiancé and we could talk the next day at work..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am married to a great man and I am truly blessed to have him in my life, but there is one issue. He is a very proud man and he is now the sole provider for our family. We were both in the military, but I retired to be home with the children full time. He’s still enlisted and he makes good money, but it does not always cover all of our expenses, so money and finances are becoming an issue with us for the first time. My husband is gone a lot, because he is on base on the weekends and he works a part-time job during the week.......

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a hard working female that’s ready to  put my belongings in storage and live in my car, because of the problems I’m having in my apartment. I constantly live with noise above me, next door to me and across the hall from me. Above me, people are dragging things across the floor, stomping, and playing music all day and night. On either side of me, I can hear my neighbors arguing and having sex till 3 and 4 in the morning.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, my wife and I have been married for 5 years and we live in a 5 bedroom home. My parents recently moved to the city we live in, to be closer to their grandchildren, our kids. My wife and I have allowed my parents to stay with us temporarily while they moved into their new home. Everything was going great until my mother started having an issue with my wife. My wife smokes weed often and I don’t have an issue with it, but I have asked her nicely, not to smoke weed in front of my  parents, out of respect.........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I was attracted to a very sweet, tall, dark, and handsome guy and I was dying to meet him, so I made the first move and I asked him out on a date. I invited him to dinner and I asked him to meet me at the restaurant. He said that he would need me to pick him up because his car is in the shop. I usually don’t drive men around, but I thought, what the heck and I went to get him..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’m writing you for advice on how to deal with a female family member. I believe that all women should be confident, regardless of their looks or size. But my cousin is an exception to this rule. She has crossed the line of confidence and now she’s downright delusional. She’s over 40 years old, yet she lives on social media all day, every day, constantly posting about how fine she is and how successful she is. Neither of these are true. Every man wants her and every woman is jealous of her. It is embarrassing the way she dresses and acts, just to get attention..........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a divorced, 44 year old single mom.  As an attractive, curvy, and educated woman, I have no problems meeting men, it’s keeping them that’s the issue. The last man that I dated, we were together for almost 3 months before we had sex. I made him wait for a reason, and here’s why… When we had sex for the first time, he passed out afterwards. He was only out for a short time and when he came to, he said his blood sugar was low, but I think he was lying, because this has happened to me before, with another man. The next time we made love, I toned down the intensity and I cut out the extra stuff that I normally do...........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a married woman in my mid 30s and I want to have children, but my husband does not. From the time we got married till now, he said he does not want kids because he just wants it to just be the two of us, no one else. He said that it’s a financial responsibility we don’t need but I think there’s more to it than that. I think he’s just not fond of children at all. We’ve been married for 15 years and when we were younger, we enjoyed our carefree years of being childless, but we’re getting older and it is time to move to the next phase of our lives, by starting a family........

Dear Steve and Shirley, I married my husband by mistake. He is in law enforcement on a special drug task force, but I'm starting to think that he is involved on the wrong side of the law. We have a nice big lavish house and he just bought me a very expensive car that's so nice I can't even drive it to work. It just doesn't add up. After asking him millions of questions and getting halfwit responses I threatened to leave him. I feel like I was definitely tricked into this marriage. It happened so quickly.........
