Advice Column: Truth Be Told with Ms. Mabel

Dear Ms. Mabel, I think I remember reading in one of your columns that you had three or four boys. I’m currently raising two right now and I just have one question: when does common sense kick in? My husband and I are both fairly intelligent and reasonably successful people with expectations that our sons will be the same. I love those boys more than anything and I’m just starting to wonder if we’ve gone about this all wrong. They still REALLY lack any common sense. Help! I can’t send them out into the world like this.
