European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 24, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 20 a the stars and stripes tuesday september 24, 1991 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers in be been Reading your column for Many years and thought of writing so Many times. Today in a going to do it. Your recent column really hit me hard. A without a mom in Maryland was upset because her father did no to let her know that her Mother was dying until it was too late. She Felt that she had been denied the Opportunity to Tell her Mother so Many things she had wanted to say. I wonder Why a a Maryland waited until her Mother was dying to say those things. Was she Tike our children a a too Busy Quot with her own life we tried to be Good parents. When our children married we accepted and loved their spouses. We helped them buy their first Homes. We loaned them Money and when their babies were born we were on hand to baby sit. Never did we refuse a request. We were glad that we were in a position to help. Now that our children Are older and have their feet solidly under them they no longer need our help. They also have no time for us. Granted they Are two Parent working families a Busy very Busy. But Are they so Busy that they cannot pick up a phone to see if we Are alive or dead they eat out often yet they never ask us to join them. We have quit phoning. It seems we always get them at an a a inconvenient time. Don t suggest that we have it out with them and ask what is wrong. They a say a nothing. We Are Busy with our lives. There Isnit enough time for crossword dear Abby dear Abby last Christmas we purchased a video game for our sons Ages 8 and 10. At first it was fun but now i am sick of the hours wasted in front of the television set. If the boys Aren t playing it their father is and the arguments and Hurt feelings Are not Worth the Money invested. We used to go to the Parks or beaches or just spend time barbecuing after work. Now its a what game should we rent tonight a followed by an evening of no communication. I swear they Are addicted to it am i wrong has this happened in other households also mad at the video game Lacey Wash. Dear mad you Are not wrong. But who makes the rules at your House you should allow your sons to play their video game Only As a Reward for having done their Homework and chores. And there should be a limit on How much time they can spend in front of the television set. Kids can get hooked on a video game a but Wise parents can turn that addiction into a bargaining Chip. Dear Abby i have a Lovely daughter a intelligent Well educated attractive a kind and caring person. She has not married. Every now and then some stupid Jerk asks me a Why has t your daughter married Quot i respond in a civilized manner although i consider quibble know it 15 quite Stefi file that eve As 1me nut tit. 1ym How in the c la.

A author unknown creators Syndicate the question none of his or her business and think that Only a clod would ask such a question. Can you think of any remark to put such people in their place Ogden Utah Mother dear Mother try this a Why done to you ask her a dear Abby i am writing about the Mother of the Bride who was much disturbed a and properly so a because of the a no shows at her daughters wedding she paid $25 per person and there were eight guests who accepted but did not Call to cancel and did t show up. Is there any reason Why the parents of the Bride who paid for the reception could not have asked the caterer to pack up the $200 Worth of food so they could take it Home also would it be a breach of etiquette for the parents or the newlyweds to Call the no shows and ask Why they did no to attend the wedding after having accepted am i the Only one who thinks a Telephone Call or a note to the no shows would be in order a . Dear . There is no reason Why the parents of the Bride have asked the caterer to pack up the no shows dinners to be taken Home and placed in their Freezer to enjoy later. However i would neither Call nor write the no shows asking Why they did no to cancel when they knew they attend. Explanations and apologies Are in order but the no shows should initiate them.
