Yesterday, I said there was no public school Thursday and Friday in part because of Eid Al-Adha. Turns out the DOE (and I) got the date of this major Muslim holiday wrong — it begins after sundown Thursday night and goes into Friday. “Well, they’re not the Department of Eid,” quipped a co-worker I mercifully shall not name. —Emily GouldEARLY AND OFTENI’m a single-issue voter, and my issue is: How broke/relatable is the candidate?

It’s Tuesday and for NYC public-school parents, that means tomorrow is Friday! That’s right: No school Thursday and Friday because of an archaic holiday called “Anniversary Day” (also known as “Brooklyn-Queens Day”), as well as Eid al-Adha, an extremely legitimate holiday. But Friday is just because, whatever.

Illustration: Emma Erickson Dear Emily, I moved to a big city, far from where I grew up, more than a decade ago. Here, I met my husband and had my son, who’s now 2 and a half. Recently, my dad retired and moved in with us. This has been fantastic because he shares a sweet and truly wonderful bond with his grandson. I love my dad more than I can explain. When I was growing up, he was imaginative, patient, caring, and adventurous. He’s staying in our apartment with us, so it’s pretty cramped.

Illustration: Emma Erickson Dear Emily, Some of my friends and family members who stopped working when they had kids are trying to reenter the workforce now that their children are in school for much of the day. Because flexibility is hard to find in most offices (and career pauses are generally frowned upon on résumés), these women all seem to be flooding the same fields. In other words, they are becoming travel agents.

Illustration: Emma Erickson Dear Emily, I resent one of my friends, Amelia. I am completely financially independent. Amelia’s parents pay for everything. (I know this because her rent is more than her monthly salary.) She’s the type to Venmo-request you for an Uber you both took, but her parents are paying and she’s pocketing the money. We’re part of the same friend group — we all met at our first job out of college — and she’s always insisting we go out to a fancy dinner or get $25 cocktails.
