On this episode: Elizabeth, Zak, and Dan debate what to do about a dad who threw a half-eaten bite of burger at his preteen. The fight started because his daughter protested that he took too big of a bite from her burger. But when he was questioned as to why he threw the bite of burger, he said he was justified because he had purchased it for her. Our letter writer is concerned that this spat is just another instance of his anger escalating. Elizabeth, Zak, and Dan share some tips on how to set boundaries within the family and possible next steps.Recommendations: Dan recommends making holiday decorating easy by leaving the corresponding pictures stacked in the frame all year round.Zak recommends <a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/81227177">Little Big Boy</a> by Nick Kroll.Elizabeth recommends <a href="https://crazyaarons.com/">Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty</a>.Join us on<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/slateparenting/"> Facebook</a> and email us at momanddad@slate.com to ask us new questions, tell us what you thought of today’s show, and give us ideas about what we should talk about in future episodes. Podcast produced by Kristie Taiwo-Makanjuola and Rosemary Belson.If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.
