Dear Annie: My husband and I have a 6-year-old daughter, “Eliza,” and we recently have not been seeing eye to eye in terms of how to handle discipline. For example, last week, when she refused to put her toys away after playing with them, I told her she couldn’t watch TV until it was done. She threw a fit, and instead of backing me up, my husband told her it was OK and helped her put the toys away himself. Another time, when she talked back to me at the dinner table, I asked her to apologize, but he interrupted and said she was just expressing herself. These situations leave me feeling undermined and like I’m the only one enforcing rules. I don’t want her to feel she can pit us against each other, and I have also noticed myself getting more and more resentful when he takes her side over mine. I just think we need to be consistent, but I don’t know if it’s possible when our views on discipline seem fundamentally different. — Feeling Like the Bad Cop Dear Bad Cop: Try talking to your husband during a calm moment when your daughter isn’t around, and make sure you start the conversation by acknowledging you both want what’s best for her. Then, work together to create a basic set of rules you both agree to follow. Consistency is key. Parenting is a team sport, and when kids see their parents supporting each other, they feel more secure — and more likely to cooperate. Dear Annie: My sister “Kate” and I were close growing up, but as adults, somehow, things seem to have gotten more competitive and hostile. For instance, at my son’s birthday party last week, she made a point to tell everyone that her daughter was reading at a higher grade level and has started extra tutoring because she’s “so advanced.” It felt like she was trying to one-up me, and it kind of ruined my day. It’s not just about the kids, though. When I mentioned that my husband and I are looking at homes to buy, she quickly jumped in to say they’re planning on upgrading to a bigger house in a “nicer” neighborhood soon. She does this all the time, turning every conversation into a competition. They’re always small things, but my resentment has built up over time. I’ve tried ignoring it, but her comments make me feel small in front of our family. I don’t know how to address this without making it sound like I’m overreacting. Help! — Tired of Competing Dear Tired: It’s hard to feel good about your own achievements when someone is always jumping in to overshadow them. Addressing this doesn’t have to lead to a big confrontation, though. Try not to let her comments take up too much time or attention. If you brush them off and shift the focus to other family members, she may eventually notice that the competitive comments don’t get much traction and start to ease up. If that doesn’t work, address things one on one, explaining that you’d like to be able to celebrate each other’s accomplishments without feeling like it’s a competition.Joining Mbappe in the forward line is another rising star, Erling Haaland of Borussia Dortmund, whose clinical finishing and physical presence have seen him become a top contender for the title of the best striker in the world.

LOZANO, Associated Press HOUSTON (AP) — An elaborate parody appears to be behind an effort to resurrect Enron, the Houston-based energy company that exemplified the worst in American corporate fraud and greed after it went bankrupt in 2001. If its return is comedic, some former employees who lost everything in Enron’s collapse aren’t laughing. “It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?” said former Enron employee Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Here’s what to know about the history of Enron and the purported effort to bring it back. Once the nation’s seventh-largest company, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, after years of accounting tricks could no longer hide billions of dollars in debt or make failing ventures appear profitable. The energy company’s collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work, wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions and rendered $60 billion in Enron stock worthless. Its aftershocks were felt throughout the energy sector. Twenty-four Enron executives , including former CEO Jeffrey Skilling , were eventually convicted for their roles in the fraud. Enron founder Ken Lay’s convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease following his 2006 trial. On Monday — the 23rd anniversary of the bankruptcy filing — a company representing itself as Enron announced in a news release that it was relaunching as a “company dedicated to solving the global energy crisis.” It also posted a video on social media, advertised on at least one Houston billboard and a took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle In the minute-long video that was full of generic corporate jargon, the company talks about “growth” and “rebirth.” It ends with the words, “We’re back. Can we talk?” Related Articles Enron’s new website features a company store, where various items featuring the brand’s tilted “E” logo are for sale, including a $118 hoodie. In an email, company spokesperson Will Chabot said the new Enron was not doing any interviews yet, but that “We’ll have more to share soon.” Signs point to the comeback being a joke. In the “terms of use and conditions of sale” on the company’s website, it says “the information on the website about Enron is First Amendment protected parody, represents performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.” Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show that College Company, an Arkansas-based LLC, owns the Enron trademark. The co-founder of College Company is Connor Gaydos, who helped create a joke conspiracy theory that claims all birds are actually surveillance drones for the government. Peters said that since learning about the “relaunch” of Enron, she has spoken with several other former employees and they are also upset by it. She said the apparent stunt was “in poor taste.” “If it’s a joke, it’s rude, extremely rude. And I hope that they realize it and apologize to all of the Enron employees,” Peters said. Peters, who is 74 years old, said she is still working in information technology because “I lost everything in Enron, and so my Social Security doesn’t always take care of things I need done.” “Enron’s downfall taught us critical lessons about corporate ethics, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Enron’s legacy was the employees in the trenches. Leave Enron buried,” she said. Follow Juan A. Lozano on X at https://x.com/juanlozano70

Arizona seeks ways to import huge amounts of waterNew York pols joined Met Council volunteers on Sunday to pack Thanksgiving meals for those in need. Met Council is the country’s largest Jewish organization dedicated to serving those in need. Inside the Spitzer Fulfillment Center, located at 171 Lexington Avenue, a group of steadfast volunteers worked carefully and lovingly to fill boxes with food items. “This is our flagship distribution. We’ve done 35 of these throughout the last two weeks, and this coming week as well. And what we’re doing is we are packing food boxes, including turkey fixings, everything from the pumpkins for the pumpkin pie to the turkey to the stuffing, for thousands of families in all five boroughs,” CEO of Met Council David Greenfield told amNewYork Metro. According to Greenfield, those in need fill out their order online. Volunteers then take the requests and work to gather and pack items for each individual, then deliver them. This allows residents to receive orders in the comfort of their homes without needing to wait in a long line in the cold or while suffering from illnesses.

Photo by Dean Moses Greenfield says those in need this holiday season have myriad reasons for why they’re turning to Met Council. “The kinds of clients that we have are working-class families who have had something happen to them, and they are struggling to make ends meet. A very good example is a fellow who I met last week, who unfortunately, has cancer. He’s a small business owner in Brooklyn, and he’s been out of work. His business is suffering, and he’s just trying to literally make it through from one side to the next side. And so, we’re assisting him in a variety of ways,” Greenfield explained. “It’s tough to pay for a big holiday where you have a lot of friends and family coming over.” Several New York politicians also arrived to help pack boxes, including Manhattan state Sen. Liz Krueger, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, and City Council Member Gale Brewer.
