You're a plugger if one day you notice
that your 30-year-old son is still
getting taller.

Retired husbands wardrobe
too casual for wife’s comfort
DEAR ABBY: When I
met my husband, he
dressed impeccably —
suits, sharp sport coats,
monogrammed shirts,
freshly pressed dress slacks,
top-of-the-line leather
shoes. Even when we went
out with friends for a casual
night or a movie, he still
dressed well in current,
fashionable clothing. I fell
in love with a man who
dressed beautifully (my
father was known for his
attire as well, which is per
haps why I like the success
ful look).
Now that he's retired, his
jeans always look dingy
(they're not dirty; they just
look like they are), his
sneakers look worn, and he
just doesn’t care about his
appearance like he once
did. When we go out
together, I’m embarrassed.
I love the man who used
to care about his appear
ance, not this retired, slop-
py-looking guy. If I com
plain, he tells me I'm being
ridiculous. I don't expect
him to look like he once did
(office attire), but he should
at least look current, crisp
and clean. Am I wrong to
be embarrassed? — LIKES
THE OLD LOOK
DEAR LIKES: I wish
you had mentioned how
long you and your husband
have been married, because
over the last 40 years styles
have changed. People of
both sexes dress much
more casually. Your hus
band may have dressed
more formally years ago
because there was a dress
code at work and it was
expected with the crowd
with whom you socialized
or the places you went. At
this point, he may feel that
because he's retired he has
earned the right to dress
"comfortably."
Yes, you are wrong to be
embarrassed. What is
important is how your hus
band feels about himself.
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
How he presents himself is
a reflection only on him —
not you. You might suggest
a shopping trip so the two
of you can update those
jeans and sneakers, but if he
won't bite, you would be
wise to let him off the hook.

DEAR ABBY: My sig
nificant other and I have
five children between us.
He has a son and daughter
from a previous marriage, I
have a daughter from a pre
vious relationship, and we
have two daughters togeth
er.
I love all our children
equally, but my significant
other complains nonstop
about my daughter from the
previous relationship. He
nags about every little thing
she does, which he never
does with his own children.
I have talked to him many
times about the favoritism
he shows toward his kids
over my daughter. I under
stand she's not perfect, but
how can I get him to treat
all of the children equally?
— EQUALLY
CONFUSED IN TEXAS
DEAR EQUALLY
CONFUSED: Children
aren't stupid. In fact, they
are very perceptive. I'm
sure your daughter recog
nizes that the man her
mother lives with doesn't
like her and treats her dif
ferently.
If you can't get through
to him that what he's doing
is unfair and damaging to
your child, and that he
needs to tone it down, then
explain to her the reason
why it's happening. And if
necessary, enlist the help of
a licensed family therapist
to change the dynamic.
