Mom-friends take different
paths in providing for kids
DEAR ABBY: I met
my friend “Ashley" and
her daughter three years
ago. Our daughters are 9
years old. Ashley makes
good money and is mar
ried. I’m a single mom. I
do well as a registered
nurse, but I’m not on her
level when it comes to
money.
We all get along great
and have a lot in com
mon. However, Ashley
buys her daughter,
“Mimi," a lot. Every time
we go out, she buys Mimi
something. If I buy a gift
for my daughter for her
birthday, Christmas, etc.,
Ashley buys the same
thing for Mimi. I got my
daughter into ice skating
three years ago. Ashley
then proceeded to buy her
daughter professional ice
skates, accessories, skat
ing costumes, private les
sons and entered her in
skate club, shows and
competitions.
Needless to say, my
daughter is sometimes
jealous of all the things
Mimi gets. For me, it’s
not about the money. It’s
the principle that I’m not
going to spoil my daugh
ter like that. I remind my
daughter she’s still more
fortunate than a lot of
other children and she
should appreciate what
she has.
Should I cut ties with
Ashley? Should I mention
my concerns to her? Or
are my daughter and I
overreacting? — DOING
WELL ENOUGH
DEAR DOING WELL:
I don’t think you or your
daughter are overreacting.
In life, you — and she —
will always encounter
people who have more
material things than you.
(The reverse may also be
true.) Because this is hap
pening regularly, I can
see why your daughter
feels as she does.
If it happened occa
sionally, I might respond
differently, but you wrote
that this is a frequent
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
occurrence. A conversa
tion with Ashley is in
order. If your relationship
survives the conversation,
consider socializing with
her but doing your gift
buying privately.
DEAR ABBY: My
mother and I have never
had the best relationship.
It has only gotten worse
since my dad passed in
2020, followed by my
brother, who passed in
2021. My uncle. Mom’s
younger brother, also
passed in 2021. My prob
lem is that Mom acts like
I have no right to grieve.
This is all HER grief and
HER pain - she has actu
ally told me as much. She
has said, more than once,
that she doesn’t know
why I bother to get so
upset.
I’m seeing a counselor,
but I’m having a hard
time forgiving her behav
ior. I lost my father and
my brother! Worse, she
tells her friends I don’t
care about these losses.
Please advise. —
GRIEVING AND
HEARTBROKEN
DEAR GRIEVING:
Continue talking with
your counselor not only
about your deep sense of
grief over the loss of your
dad and your brother, but
also about your relation
ship with your mother.
Not knowing her, I cannot
decide whether she is
deep into her own grief or
simply so deep into
HERSELF that she can’t
relate to you. I am sorry
you didn’t mention your
age or whether you live
with her. but it’s impor
tant that you work on
becoming, at the very
least, emotionally inde
pendent from her.
