DEAR ABBY: My
husband and I live in a
nice home in the desert
Southwest with an in-
ground pool and guest
house. Our friends and
relatives from back east
have an open invitation
to visit whenever they
please. We enjoyed these
visits until recently.
The problem is their
ever-present compulsion
to be connected to an
electronic device. We
are not yet retired, but in
the past we didn’t mind
taking a few days off
work to spend time with
folks who came all the
way out here to spend a
few days with us. But it
seems like nowadays our
guests have their noses
pointed at a phone or
computer most of the
time they are here. They
have actually missed the
beauty of our area,
which we are missing
work to show them,
because they are other
wise engaged.
Is there a pleasant way
to ask them to discon
nect for a bit while we
are enjoying their visit,
or should I just get in
the grumpy old lady
line? I want our visitors
to have a good time, but
I find this behavior espe
cially rude. — ALMOST
DONE IN THE
SOUTHWEST
DEAR ALMOST
DONE: It’s possible that
your guests don’t realize
how much time they’re
spending on their com
puters and cellphones.
Because you are so
turned off you are con
sidering rolling up the
welcome mat, explain to
your guests that you
have given them an open
invitation so you can
enjoy each other’s com
pany, and you are hurt
that they spend so much
time on their electronic
devices. Nobody gets
DEAR ABBY

something for nothing,
and it seems the “quid”
has gone missing from
the “pro quo” you have
been offering.

DEAR ABBY: I am a
male who was molested
30 years ago. It has trou
bled me into adulthood.
Recently, my boss
informed my crew that a
convicted pedophile will
be working on a trial
basis on our shift. The
moment he said it, it
started setting off trig
gers in my head, and I
am very angry about it.
When I told my boss
about my childhood
experience, he acted like
he didn’t want to hear it.
Do I have any rights in
this matter? I really
can’t work with a man
who has hurt another
child like I was. —
TROUBLED VICTIM
DEAR TROUBLED
VICTIM: You absolutely
do have rights. You have
the right to request a dif
ferent shift, if that’s pos
sible. If it isn’t, you also
have the right to look for
another job. If that’s the
case, it will be interest
ing to know how many
of the other employees
will follow you out the
door.
