Summary
A friendly reminder from Prudence: advice is not one-size-fits-all! Writer and podcaster Christina Grace joins Prudie to help a woman break it to her in-laws that her family won’t be going to church; a military mom decide who should care for her daughter; and a gay man find his identity after sleeping with a woman (spoiler alert: bisexuality is a thing). Then, a wife finds out her husband has been sneaking around to help his sister leave her abusive husband. Is it fair to feel betrayed after months of secret heroism? (Note: The National Domestic Violence Hotline offers help and support to those who need it. Find it at www.thehotline.org or 1-800-799-7233.) Lastly, the case is closed on the cot. Thanks for playing! Hear more Prudence by joining Slate Plus: Slate.com/Prudiepod.

| 1:00.8 | subset of the population and terribly for another. If you have children, you're probably |
| 1:07.0 | familiar with this concept, right? What works really well for one child does not work |
| 1:11.2 | for another. Doesn't mean the advice is bad or good, just means that you have to bear in mind |
| 1:15.5 | different people's temperaments and situations before you offer advice. And one piece of advice |
