. My daughter is 4 and in preschool for the first time. She’s an only child who lives with four adults—her parents and her grandparents, who are immunocompromised. We almost didn’t put her in school at all except she was acting out pretty severely from not having enough playtime and social time with other kids. I tried to create a pod of a few kids, and the logistics never worked. Now she goes to a Montessori school three mornings a week and is happy, calmer, and her vocabulary and social skills have exploded.

Dear How to Do It, My husband and I have been together 10 years. He was inexperienced and sexually nervous when we first met, but now, we have a very satisfying sex life. Credit where credit is due: Over the years, he really opened himself up to things that made him initially squeamish, and it’s been an incredible journey. Recently, my husband expressed an interest in having me be dominant toward him (how do you say that?) in bed. I am not against this idea, but I am exhausted. I’m a teacher whose district just returned to in-person learning and we have one preschooler and one nursing bab...

Dear How to Do It, I’m a woman in my early 30s, and I’ve been dating my early 30s boyfriend for about a year. Our sex life is generally great, except for one thing: fingering. Getting fingered is hands down (no pun intended) my favorite sex act, but my boyfriend is a carpenter with big hands who also bites his nails, resulting in super calloused and jacked-up hands and ragged nails. He generously gives lots of oral and other forms of foreplay, but his fingers are painful, so we don’t do it. He’s working on the nail-biting, but his career isn’t going to change, so he’ll always have...

Last year, the French law was updated for a pretty obvious reason: It was self-defeating, ultimately making it harder to increase representation of women in government roles. The 2019 waiver allows new hires to exceed the 60-40 gender balance, as long as they don’t lead to an overall gender imbalance beyond that threshold in the government workforce. Under the updated legislation, Le Monde reports, the city of Paris is in the clear, as women make up 47 percent of city hall’s senior ranks, where they happen to be paid 6 percent less than their male colleagues. “Yes, we must promote women...

On Saturday, members of the pro-Trump white supremacist group the Proud Boys descended on Washington, resulting in violence in which at least four people were stabbed, leaving them with life-threatening injuries, according to the Washington Post.* The reason: fury over Donald Trump’s election loss and the failure of his last-ditch efforts to have the Supreme Court overturn the election in his favor. Days earlier, in nearby Riverdale, Maryland, 61-year-old Kenneth Aaron Tillery killed his ex-girlfriend Tina Harvey, as she sat in her sedan on an early weekday morning. She was pronounced dead...
