Moms wild stories cause
her grandchildren distress
DEAR ABBY: My
mother insists on telling my
three youngest children that
my husband is not their
father. The oldest girl is the
spitting image of him, and
she's upset about it. Mom
also calls me terrible
names. She keeps saying it
will add years to my life if I
divorce him and makes
appointments with divorce
lawyers “for” me, which I
am charged for. My hus
band and I have a limited
income and can't move
away because our jobs are
here. How can I convince
our kids my husband is
their father? — TRYING
TO PROVE IT
DEAR TRYING: A way
to do that would be to
explain to your children
that your mother has severe
emotional problems and
isn't in her right mind when
she says those things.
(From what you have writ
ten, it appears to be true.)
You do not have to move
away to distance yourself
from this toxic, troubled
woman. Stop communicat
ing with her. Block her
phone number, if you must,
and do not allow her to
have contact with any
members of your family
unless and until she regains
her senses and apologizes
to all of you.

DEAR ABBY: I belong
to a women's golfing
group. The mission of the
club is to play golf and have
fun. We have tournaments,
prizes, and awards are
given for the best scores.
The problem: Several of
the ladies are “allergic” to
counting their scores cor
rectly. We have given them
counting beads to help
them “remember” their
score. They have played
with board members who
asked them to count their
scores out loud each time
they hit the ball and to state
their scores after the last
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
putt. There have also been
conversations with the golf
pro about the importance of
keeping accurate scores.
Yet, the inaccurate counting
persists and denial reigns.
Members are upset because
these ladies often “win”
tournaments. What to do?
— PROUD OF MY HIGH
HANDICAP
DEAR PROUD: You
might be able to curb the
cheating if you suggest club
members swap scorecards
and keep score for each
other. However, if that
doesn't do the trick, stop
playing with those who
cheat.

DEAR ABBY: Yesterday,
I took my computer to an
electronics store to be fixed.
The tech who helped me
had a ton of dirt under his
nails. I was grossed out see
ing him with those filthy
nails type on my computer
keys. Should I have said
something to him or his
supervisor? How can they
allow someone with his
hygiene problem be in a
position that requires con
tact with the public? —
GROSSED OUT IN OHIO
DEAR GROSSED OUT:
A quiet word with the
supervisor would have been
the way to handle it. And
while you were at the store,
you could have asked for
sanitary wipes to clean your
keyboard. (They probably
had some behind the coun
ter.) Using a soft tissue
dipped in alcohol once you
returned home would also
kill germs, as long as you're
careful the tissue isn't so
saturated that liquid drips
beneath the keys.
