![]() Like, there's no - the anonymous was like, oh, you got to go.ĭESMOND-HARRIS: I lean strongly toward yes as well. SANDERS: And I was like, oh, you got to go. The question was one sentence, one question - should I leave the family business? Anonymous. ![]() But here is the question that we've been joking about here on the team for the last few days. SANDERS: We got a lot, and I'm going to start off by telling you one that we're just not going to answer because it was too short and weird. Happy holidays and, listeners, thank you for your questions. Anyhoo, in this chat, Jenee and I talk about everything from how to deal with an overbearing adult daughter to Taylor Swift to the group dynamics of religious prayer in an atheist household. I say this as someone who talks for a living. Silence is powerful and sometimes even healing. You don't have to have an opinion or a comment about everything.

You know, as we head into the full swing of the holiday season, what better gift could we give to you, the listener, than answering questions about your family and friend troubles and giving you more nuanced solutions than the internet's perennial favorite of just break up, which is actually my favorite? My advice to everyone having couple trouble - break up. ![]() SANDERS: She took over Slate's Dear Prudence advice column earlier this year. I am the Dear Prudence advice columnist at Slate magazine.
