Dear Abby, I live across country and can't help our son who has to take care of bills and chores while our daughter-in-law looks after their baby. What can I do?
My son and his wife have been married for three years and have an 8-month-old son. She stays home to care for the baby. My son works from home as well. He has now taken a second job to make ends meet, so three days a week he works 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and then leaves from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and returns home at 11 p.m.
His wife believes in co-sleeping, which means she sleeps in the bed with the baby, while my son sleeps on a mattress on the floor. This has been going on since the child was born. My son also does 80% of the cooking. They live a thousand miles away, so I can’t help. He is almost her slave. I don’t want to say anything, but I would like their marriage to last. What should I do? -- CONCERNED IN CALIFORNIAThe last thing you need to do is interfere.
