It's Group Therapy Thursday! Dear Ted and Amy, My daughter is getting married in just a few months and she had a meeting with her wedding DJ recently. I was asking her about it because my husband and I have a pretty strange last name and I just wanted to remind her that she had to give the pronunciation of all of the last names of the bridal party when they are introduced at the reception. She said that the DJ says most people don't do that anymore. He says it's mainly just the bride and groom that are announced "for the first time" and for the rest of the party, including the parents, they just walk into the reception with music. He said that it gets too confusing and it's hard to pronounce everyone's name right, so they all just leave it out now. She doesn't seem to have a problem with it! I know it's her wedding and it's just a small part, but I love attending a wedding and hearing the names of everyone walking in. And to be honest, it would nice to be acknowledged. It just makes it more exciting! Is he nuts? I'm sure he'll do it if she insists but if it's gone by the way of the chicken dance, I guess I just won't push it. Signed, Mother of the Bride in Bridgeport https://www.93q.com/2025/01/09/group-therapy-thursdayted-amy-in-the-morning/

Holly writes: At 20 weeks pregnant, my husband and I learned that our daughter had a severe congenital heart defect and had very little chance of surviving the pregnancy. She defied the odds and was born on November 8, 2022. She was hospitalized for the first 2 months of her life with 6 complex heart defects that required 3 life saving surgeries and 3 other surgeries for minor repairs. She required multiple hospitalizations throughout her first few years of life. Something that has always been powerful for us as a family is knowing that her heart is so unique and she is a true heart warrior. I wanted to honor this by having her first heartbeat scan taken in the hospital and having it tattooed on my forearm. I want to look at it every day and at her, and show the world to appreciate every heart beat they have because it is such a precious thing to cherish. She is now 2 years old and is thriving beyond what doctors expected and continues to blow us away with her determination and bravery. And now, I will forever have her heart beat with me! https://www.93q.com/2024/12/24/93qs-tat-tales-contest/

It's Group Therapy Thursday!  Dear Ted and Amy, I’ve been dating a girl for about six months now. We don’t live together. I recently found out that her ex still comes around to do “man stuff” around her house – he’s helped with shoveling a couple of times this winter, I know he’s helped her with her car. He’s pretty handy so he comes over to make house repairs every now and then. She just mentioned that he was going to make sure her lawn mower is in good condition before he needs to mow over there.  I asked her if he’d still be doing it now that I’m in the picture and she said he was because “he’s always done it and it’s just easier”. I’m not exactly a handy guy. I mean, I can mow a lawn, but when it comes to repairs, it’s probably better that she uses someone else. It just seems kind of weird to me that the “someone else” will be her ex. She doesn’t see it as an issue. Am I making too big of a deal about this? I know relationships are all about trust but this just seems strange to me. Signed, Losing his Man Card in Manlius https://www.93q.com/2025/01/09/group-therapy-thursdayted-amy-in-the-morning/

Jessica writes: I went into my appointment wanting a small butterfly on my wrist but realized that space wasn’t big enough for the details I was looking for. My 13 year old daughter searched and found a beautiful blue butterfly with grey flowers. To me it means new beginnings as I recently had a major life change. Like most that get tattoos I wanted more! Each thing represents something very important to me. The pink and reddish orange flowers are my children’s birth month flowers. The birds are my grandfather’s favorite birds, the chickadees. On one of the leaves there are two ladybugs – each having four dots for each of my nieces and nephews. I also have a tattoo of a lioness that represents my mom. She is a beautiful quiet fierce protector of our family. She would do anything to protect her four daughters and husband. https://www.93q.com/2024/12/24/93qs-tat-tales-contest/

It's Group Therapy Thursday time!  Dear Ted and Amy, Our two kids are in their twenties and still live with us. Our youngest is a full time college student and doesn’t pay rent. It has always been our rule that you don’t have to pay rent while you’re going to school. Our oldest has been living at home rent-free too, but my husband and I have recently decided it’s time for her to start contributing financially. She works part time and is taking a few online classes, but she’s upset with us, because she doesn’t think it’s fair that she has to now pay rent where her brother is not. I understand her frustration but I feel like there’s a difference between being a full time student like her brother and what she’s currently doing. She insists that we’re going back on our word and she can’t afford to pay rent in the position that she’s in now. My husband and I are arguing about this because I would have them home forever. I don’t want to push her out before she’s ready. But he says we don’t want to set the expectation that she can live with us indefinitely without contributing. Any suggestions? Signed, Conflicted in Camillus

March Makeover – Andrea! I’ve had the same look for many years. I’ve always put everyone else first. I am 41 years old. I had my first child at 16 and my second at 21. I’ve never kept up with the latest styles or fashion. Both of my kids are out of the house now and I guess it’s time for me. I would love to start with a new look. It’s ME time. https://www.93q.com/2023/10/11/93q-makeover-contest/
