Rescinded vacation invitation
causes bad blood in the family
DEAR ABBY: My son
"Jeff” is wealthy and lives
in another state with his
wife and family. His wife
has now moved her mother
to where they live and she
works for my son. Jeff and
his family take vacations
several times a year in the
U.S. and out of it, and
always include her mother
or her father and his wife.
Two months ago, he
invited his sister and niece
to go with them. They were
very excited, but a few days
later he called them and
said his wife wanted her
mother to go, so the invita
tion was withdrawn.
My son and his wife
don't think they did any
thing wrong, but there have
been bad feelings ever
since, and they continue to
take her family every
where. How would you
handle this? Would you
keep silent or speak to
them? — NOT INVITED
IN OKLAHOMA
DEAR NOT INVITED:
It appears your son's wife
rules the roost. I don't
blame your daughter for
feeling hurt, because what
your son did was insensi
tive and rude.
The problem with keep
ing silent is that hurt feel
ings fester and grow. If it
were I, I wouldn't fume in
silence. Your daughter
should talk to her brother
about what happened, and
point out how hurtful
rescinding the invitation
was to her and her daugh
ter. Getting it off her chest
may make her feel better.

DEAR ABBY: I'm a
69-year-old woman. I look
my age because, unlike
most of my friends, I don't
color my hair. Sometimes
when I'm shopping —
such as in a grocery store
— employees call me
"young lady,” as in "How
are you today, young
lady?" I find it condescend
ing. Why is it necessary to
make reference to my age?
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
Obviously, they don't think
I'm young at all. What
would you say in these sit
uations? — IRRITATED
IN SAN DIEGO
DEAR IRRITATED:
You are asking a question I
receive often. Older
women not only resent
being called “young lady,"
they also dislike being
called “honey" and "sweet
ie" by someone who
doesn't know them well.
Because it bothers you, tell
the person, “I know you're
trying to be nice, but in the
future, please use my name
or call me ‘ma'am.'" This
is something you might
also mention to the store
manager, so he or she can
remind the staff that not
everyone appreciates the
over-familiarity.

DEAR ABBY: Recently,
on an airline flight, the pas
senger next to me put her
feet (with shoes on) onto
the headrest in front of her.
No one was in the seat.
Since she had her head
phones on, I tapped her on
the shoulder and indicated
that it was unsanitary to put
one's feet where normally a
passenger's head should be.
I got a dirty look for my
efforts, and the young
woman made quite a scene.
Should I have ignored
the situation, or said some
thing to the flight atten
dants? What do you recom
mend? —UNSANITARY
IN THE EAST
DEAR UNSANITARY:
If you had quietly alerted
the flight attendants and let
them handle it, you would
have spared yourself the
unpleasantness you experi
enced. That's what I would
recommend.
