Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:12:35 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Blake, and it's about family. Here's her email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I have a real problem and I'm looking for good advice. My sister and I have always been very close. We're only two years apart, and we're the best of all worlds, best friends and family. Well, my sister’s husband had an affair last year and it almost destroyed their family and had a huge impact on the rest of our family. I supported my sister throughout the whole ordeal and was there for her to vent her frustrations. Ultimately, she decided to forgive him, which I understand for the sake of their young children, but I’m not so eager to forgive him. Now I’m expected to just let it go and carry on like he didn’t devastate my sister. How can I be expected to just forget his betrayal? Yet this is what my sister is asking me to do. Is it even realistic for anyone to think I coul...

Ask Amy: Family reunion presents concerns for a trans youth

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:12:35 GMT

Dear Amy: Every year my extended family meets for a summer reunion.Two of us are gay.Starting when he was quite young, we assumed that my nephew was also gay.No one talked about it, it was just assumed he’d figure it out and it wouldn’t be a big deal.Two years ago, when he was16, he started growing and dyeing his hair and wearing nail polish, but still referred to himself as a “he.” We assumed he was either doing the teenager thing or was about to tell us he was gay.Well, we were wrong. He’s not heterosexual (no shock) but has decided he’s trans and now goes by the gender-neutral name “Ash.”Now Ash is making baby steps into the world as a trans person.To say my family is less than supportive is an understatement.Gay they’re OK with, but I guess trans is a bridge too far (this includes Ash’s parents).Our annual get together is coming up and my plan is to wait and see how Ash refers to themself and take it from there.But I’m petrified about ho...

Create inviting and functional utility spaces

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:12:35 GMT

Housework is inevitable. But a brand new home gives the buyer an opportunity to improve the productivity and enjoyment factors of day-to-day housework. The keys to good quality utility spaces are functionality and cleanliness that inspire the homeowner to use them.Rather than saving these spaces for last, plan them during construction and involve the builder as you make decisions. By creating spaces that are organized, clean and crisp, daily tasks will feel easier to handle.Love the laundryLaundry is family, too. There’s no way around it. But the laundry room doesn’t need to be stark, boring, poorly lit and uninspiring. The opposite might even improve functionality and desirability of the space.If wall space allows, go ahead and hang small items that make you smile. But focus on organizing rather than decorating.A small dry-erase board with a dry-erase marker attached to a string, for instance, allows members to leave smiley faces or notes saying, “The red shirt in the washing machi...
