Welcome to Dear Prudence. I'm your prudence, Dene Desmond Harris. Today, I'll be answering

questions about text etiquette, tension between sisters, and whether to invite the problem

child to your wedding. To help me answer these questions today, I'll be joined by Rachel

Hampton. Rachel is the host of another Slate podcast, ICYMI. It's a very fun show that

keeps you up to date on all the wild stuff happening on the internet. So, I was just looking

at Rachel's Twitter timeline, and I saw the following tweets that I just thought might

help listeners get a sense of who she is and where she's coming from. Number one, the

thing about therapy that no one tells you is that it's like working out. Half the time

you don't want to go, but every time you're glad you did, spark.

Number two, I can now confidently say that the secret to a relatively frictionless move

is working from home and a lot of weed. Okay, three. Realize that for the first time

I'm the same age as the lead of the bachelor, and now I need to lay down. Clearly, a wise

woman. Rachel and I will dive into your questions after a quick break.

This episode is brought to you by Nike. It's packed to school season, and you and your

child might be feeling a bit anxious. As a parent, you're the best team mate for your

mini-me, and together, you can use sport to help overcome anxiety. Try something new

as a family and celebrate even the little wins you achieve on the journey.

Create long-lasting memories that will take your kids from class to court and beyond.
