Dáithí Ó Sé

Irish Examiner Agony Uncle Dáithí Ó Sé answers your dilemmas - big or small

Dear Dáithí: Out of the blue, my husband says he wants to have kids. What should I do? 
Dear Dáithí: Out of the blue, my husband says he wants to have kids. What should I do? 
Nowadays, a 41-year-old woman or a 49-year-old man thinking about having their first child is seen as quite normal. However, that only matters if the people involved want to have one

Dear Dáithí: Am I super-intolerant now or is my co-worker the worst?
Dear Dáithí: Am I super-intolerant now or is my co-worker the worst?
It reminds me of a person who brought fish to work and stunk the place out cooking it during the day. I’d no problem with this person getting their omega 3s, but you need to clean up properly after yourself.

Dear Dáithí: 'My neighbour hurts me deeply with her 'jokes' and I've had enough'
Dear Dáithí: I've nothing in common with the other parents — except kids
"For example, we spent over an hour at a coffee shop recently talking about a new kitchen. There’s a genocide happening in real time, that I can’t sleep over, but please tell me what tiles you’re picking out."

Dear Dáithí: 'My neighbour hurts me deeply with her 'jokes' and I've had enough'
"Being a quiet, polite shy person is who you are and you should never lower your standards for others especially when their values don’t come close to yours."

In any situation in life no matter what it is if you focus on problems, you will find more problems and it’s the same with solutions, so we focus on solutions

Dear Dáithí: I'm losing my son to a controlling girlfriend
Dear Dáithí: 'My grandchildren live overseas, and my heart is broken from missing them'
"I do think it's time to have a chat as a family, because the family are scattered all over - ye could put a plan together that sometimes they visit you at different times of the year. This will give you time with all the different people, especially the children."

Dear Dáithí: I'm losing my son to a controlling girlfriend
Dear Dáithí: I'm losing my son to a controlling girlfriend
"She has him eating well, working out and off the drink. I think you should ask him how he is feeling these days."

Dear Dáithí: My husband is forcing my daughter to take part in sports, but she hates them
Dear Dáithí: My husband is forcing my daughter to take part in sports, but she hates them
"Your husband is a coach and I’m sure he sees the benefits of sports and I know it’s especially hard to keep young girls involved in sports and I agree with him that it is very important, but at what cost?"

Dear Dáithí: I feel so hurt my friend group left me out of a weekend away
Dear Dáithí: I feel so hurt my friend group left me out of a weekend away
You can’t please everyone so try and please yourself and don’t heed what others think.

Dear Dáithí: My dad passed away but my family celebrated Christmas as if everything was normal
Dear Dáithí: My dad passed away but my family celebrated Christmas as if everything was normal
I remember when my own dad died and for months after I’d remember times gone by and at first the memories made me sad but if I roll on a few years, these very same memories and thoughts are the ones that make me really happy now
