Q. How do we talk to our daughters about religion without sounding like people who believe in it are blooming idiots? —Carvell Wallace

Dear Care and Feeding : How do we talk to our kids about religion without sounding like people who believe in it are blooming idiots? What you think is a gap in the world’s understanding of the concept of a God? Assume that there are better thinkers than you who don’t believe in a God.

A 28-year-old black queer woman who's not looking for a romantic relationship doesn't feel like her life will be lacking if she doesn't have children.

She's had a myomectomy, removing uterine fibroids, and that's made her start thinking about kids again.

There's a nonselfish reason to have children: The world needs you to help make them.

A good technique to pry the screens away from their grubby hands is to supplement iPads with a story time in which they tell you stories.

Do not rush, do not lay down the law, and do not criticize your fiancée's parenting.

If this process seems too slow, just remember you’re marrying into a family.
