Over the Hedge by Michael Fry &T. Lewis
Momma by Mell Lazarus
Rose Is Rose by Pat Brady
Mother thinks teen is missing
out by dating over the phone
DEAR ABBY: I am a
17-year-old girl who has been
in a long-distance relation
ship for two years. We’re
still in high school and
actively involved in sports
and extracurricular activities.
During the fall months I
cheer, and in the winter
months he plays basketball.
Our schedules only really
allow for texting and
FaceTiming rather than
going out.
Although our time is
spent communicating on the
phone, I feel we have a
strong connection, and I am
devoted to him. However,
my mom is concerned
“because I’m not dating and
taking advantage of opportu
nities that could come with
dating someone closer.’’ She
criticizes him nonstop and
thinks he’s making excuses
and avoiding a commitment.
She’d like to see me going
out and having fun like most
girls my age do.
I don’t think he’s making
excuses, and I don’t feel as
though I’m missing out on
any opportunities. This dis
agreement is causing an issue
between my mom and me. I
feel that he’s The One, but
Mom is finding it challenging
to accept this. —FAR, BUT
CFOSE, IN MICHIGAN
DEAR F. BUT C.: You
may feel that this young man
is “The One,’’ but your moth
er has a point. Please listen to
her. Rather than sit home
every night because you are
devoted only to him, you
should socialize and develop
non-romantic relationships.
It wouldn’t be betraying him.
Most young people go out in
groups, and that’s what you
should be doing. This may
be what your mother is try
ing to convey rather than
saying he isn’t The One.
Also, you and this young
man have years of education
to complete before you’ll be
in a position to formalize
your relationship. While you
are doing that, both of you
will meet new people and be
offered opportunities that
may broaden your horizons.
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
DEAR ABBY: For the
past two years, my husband,
“Dennis," has worked
Christmas Eve and New
Year’s Eve. He’s in a business
where he doesn’t have to be
the only one to work. He
volunteers to do it because of
the tips and holiday pay.
When I walked into the
office today, I saw a note he
had written to his boss ask
ing to work both holidays
again.
Years ago when my father
was alive, he hosted
Christmas Eve for our family.
Then the tradition was hand
ed down to me, and I proudly
hosted them. Now that
Dennis and I are together, our
place is too small, so I asked
my son to do it and he gladly
agreed.
My problem is, I will have
to go to my son’s alone again
for Christmas Eve, and my
son and daughter-in-law feel
insulted because Dennis
won’t come for the holidays.
How do I deal with this? —
HUSBANDLESS FOR
THE HOLIDAYS, AGAIN
DEAR HUSBANDLESS:
It appears you and Dennis
have been married only a
short time. Was he like this
when you were dating ? If the
answer is no, it’s time to ask
him if he intends to continue
working holidays indefinitely.
And when you do, let him
know that his refusal to spend
family time with your son
and daughter-in-law hurts
their feelings as well as yours.
If that doesn’t convince
him to compromise, you will
have to explain to your son
and his wife that Dennis pre
fers to work rather than attend
holiday celebrations and to
please not take it personally.
