I’m staying with my in-laws next week and would rather stay at a hotel with my kids. My husband isn’t even coming for this trip because he has to work but I promised his parent’s I’d stay with them for a week with their grandchildren. The thing is that they live in South Carolina, and next week is supposed to be really hot there and they don’t have air conditioning. They just have fans all over the house but it gets brutally hot. My kids and I were on fire last year when we stayed with them, and my husband didn’t want to insult them by getting a hotel room. I asked him if I can get a room this time and he told me to stick it out, but it's going to be so hot! So, what should I do? Should I book the ro...

Tuesday will be sunny, but storms are expected Wednesday

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:37:02 GMT

ST. LOUIS -- Mostly sunny skies Tuesday, with highs in the mid 90s. More clouds around tonight, temps only fall into the low to mid 70s.  Wednesday looks wet, with heavy rain and storms expected. But two scenarios are possible. One, thunderstorms drop south in the morning and move through with heavy rain, wind, and lightning. That would make for some cooler temperatures. Or morning storms could fall apart as they drop south early in the day. That would mean a hotter and very humid day and push the local storm chance to the afternoon and evening. We will have to watch this closely. Afternoon storms could bring some strong wind gusts and hail.  St. Louis radar: See a map of current weather here The threat for rain continues Thursday and Friday thanks to a front stall across the Bi-State. Rounds of storms will be possible. South of the front, it will be hot and humid. To the north, temps won’t be as high.

Ask Amy: Dad of two small children phones it in

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:37:02 GMT

Dear Amy: My husband and I have two children under the age of three.Most of the time when my husband watches the kids, he is on his phone.Even when our 11-month-old is practicing walking, he holds her by the arm as he walks with his eyes glued to his other hand, which is holding the phone.If I say something, he gets all defensive.With our first child, I called him a bad dad because he was always on his phone or just holding him watching TV (basically not interacting with his child).He was very hurt by this and said I was out of line and disrespectful for saying it. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind as much if he was doing something productive on the phone for the family (such as looking up recipes, researching something that broke, planning a family trip), but it is just videos or Reddit.To make me more upset, he does not consider this as “free time.” (He would like one to two hours a day (wouldn’t we all).“Free time” for him, or “personal care,” as he ca...
