Her husband works third shift, so he doesn’t know what time she comes in. She has adult kids and an 8-year-old girl.I’m staying at her house for the next two months and don’t want to get in the middle of all of this. She is going to see a lawyer in three weeks to see about a divorce and I know I’m going to be blamed for everything.I love my grandchildren very much and just don’t know what to do.Please help me!– Scared GranDear Gran: Even though your adult daughter’s behavior is really not in your control, she has placed you in the middle of this (or at least adjacent to it), because presumably she is using your presence in the household to step out on her husband.Third shift usually starts at 11 p.m., so I’m wondering what their parental overlap normally is,...

DC financial expert shares tips for limiting debt, saving money

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:53:36 GMT

“Debt gets people into a lot of trouble,” said financial expert Harrine Freeman, cofounder and CEO of H.E. Freeman Enterprises in D.C.Freeman said there’s one big mistake she sees people make often: even those with a budget setup miscalculate how much money they have available on a credit or debit card.“Before I spend money, I check my account balance, and I check pending transactions so that I always know and account for transactions that have not processed,” Freeman said.People who don’t check their account before making purchases may see the available balance in their banking or credit card app and think it’s all the money they can spend when it’s not.When it comes to tackling debt built up, she always recommends focusing on credit card debt first.“The bonus is that helps your credit score,” Freeman said. “Then you want to tackle your installment debt and then any other debt that you have.”She also urged peop...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:53:36 GMT

Clothing is one of our most basic needs, along with food and shelter — but textiles are also important symbols of identity.In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, WTOP is spotlighting the significance of textiles in many Asian cultures — from the sacred thread in India to the appliqué designs of Hokkaido — and efforts in the D.C. area to help preserve these ancient art forms.Textiles are “usually the primary way that people communicate who they are,” said Lee Talbot, a curator at The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum. The Textile Museum, located in the Foggy Bottom area of D.C., is an almost 100-year-old institution focusing on handmade woven materials of non-Western peoples, including Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Pacific islands.Its collection of some 25,000 textiles date back to 3,000 B.C. Talbot said the museum uses the collection as a way to introduce visitors to non-Western cultures.“...
