This week in the Dear Clementine inbox:

- I am 31 and single. Many of my friends have started having babies, but when I find out I can't help but feel sad. Am I a bad friend for feeling sad?
- 3 years ago I was made aware that my father had been a serial cheater throughout my parents' entire relationship. My sister says it's cruel that I'm "punishing" him by refusing contact with him. What should I do? Am I overreacting? 
- Recently my son came home from preschool with a new chant he learnt. “Girls are weak, chuck them in the creek”. I’m trying to explain to him why this is a harmful thing to say, but I’m having trouble getting him to understand it. Any advice?
