AP PHOTOS: Afghans mark Eid al-Adha on its third year since the return of the Taliban
Afghans in Kabul have marked Eid al-Adha over the past two days with traditional prayers, animal sacrifices and family gatherings as the city observed its third Eid celebration since the Taliban returned to power in 2021. Early in the morning, there were some open-air prayer grounds across the capital. Taliban police patrolled the streets and stood guard near prayer sites as crowds moved through the city. At animal markets around Kabul, residents haggled over sheep and goats to be sacrificed in accordance with Eid customs. Vendors did brisk business as families prepared for the holiday feast. For many, it was a rare chance to celebrate amid ongoing economic hardship. Inside a city security office, Taliban officials monitored surveillance screens showing various parts of Kabul, to maintain control and stability during public events. For families in Kabul, Eid remains a time of faith, gathering, and reflection, even as daily life continues to adjust under the current administration. This is a photo gallery curated by AP photo editors.

Carolyn Hax: How to shut down an in-law who thinks her meanness is funny?
Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: Help! I have a big family get-together this weekend, and my passive-aggressive, often snarky, cruel, insecure sister-in-law is coming. She loves to 'jokingly' belittle people — including me, my parents, my brother (her husband) and anyone else — and I do not want to put up with it. She thinks she's being funny, but it just shows how petty and judgmental she is.
