Welcome to Dear Prudence, I'm your Prudence,

Jain Desmond Harris.

Today we'll be discussing Reader's Dilemma

about a husband who wants to give up travel to babysit instead,

a partner who's becoming really pushy about issues around adoption, and an engagement ring that could use a little work.

Here to help me out is Nicole Chung.

She's the author of a living remedy in all you can ever know, and she gives amazing parenting

advice as a columnist for

Slight's care and feeding.

Hey, Nicole, thank you for being here.

Thanks so much, Janay.

It's great to be back.

This actually my second time on the podcast.

I'm really excited to talk with you.

Well, speaking of the first time you were on, I think,

I remember hearing that episode as a listener

who never knew I would become Dear Prudence.

And I think that's the first time I dined you

just to say your advice was so amazing. I thought you were d. I d.

You just to say your advice was so amazing. I thought you were so so good.

Oh, thank you. I mean, I've been following your work for a really long time and

like previous advice columns and like a huge fan. So thanks again for asking me.
