On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

Your husband attended a "networking event" at a hotel that gradually evolved into something more...exotic. As the night wore on and clothes came off, he stayed for seven hours, claiming "this is just how men do things sometimes." Is maintaining professional connections worth the cost to your marriage? And was this event really as "surprising" as he claims?
Your elder brother has a history of using you as his personal fall guy, and now he's sending bizarrely inappropriate gifts to your daughter — including items she's severely allergic to. When confronted, he laughs it off as mistakes and jokes. With shared power of attorney over your aging parents, how do you handle a sibling who might not just be clueless, but calculating?
Follow-up from episode 973: After a lifetime of trying to be the perfect Indian daughter while falling in love with a British man, you've finally made your decision. With packed bags and a sedated cat, you're about to drop the bombshell on your traditional parents. How does one navigate the delicate dance between cultural expectations and personal truth?
Recommendation of the Week: Tailored clothes.
End-of-year reflections on the doozies, dumpster fires, and delights that came our way in 2024!
