Sisters’ display of greed is last
straw for sibling
DEAR ABBY: My
father died five years ago
at 90. For the last 20 years
of his life, both my sisters
shunned him because they
disliked his second wife
(who predeceased him).
She had never been any
thing but kind to us all.
They refused to speak to
him and, when he was
dying, announced that they
wouldn’t attend his funer
al.
When an aunt informed
them that Dad had left
over a million dollars in
cash and no will, they
couldn’t get here fast
enough. They caused me
major distress by falsely
accusing me of trying to
steal from them. I have
never taken anything from
my sisters. I made certain
the money was equally
distributed, then shut them
out of my life.
“Family,” to me, is syn
onymous with loyalty, love
and trust. Without it, we’re
just relations. I plan to
never speak to them again.
Am I wrong? —
DISGUSTED IN
DENVER
DEAR DISGUSTED:
You are not wrong. Please
accept my sympathy for
the loss of your father.
With relatives like your
sisters, you don’t need
enemies. In a case like
this, it is common sense to
protect yourself. Keeping
your distance will accom
plish it nicely.
DEAR ABBY: Will you
mention the problem of
adult bullying in the work
place? The bullies are usu
ally buddy-buddy with
supervisors and get away
with the harassment,
which includes name-call
ing. ridiculing and gossip
ing, which makes for a
very uncomfortable work
environment. This happens
too often. — ONCE
BULLIED
DEAR BULLIED:
Sadly, you are right. It
does happen too often. A
way to stop it is first to tell
the bully that you don’t
like it. Then start docu
menting the incidents.
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
including the dates, times
and what was done. Take
that information to your
boss or supervisor and ask
them to put a stop to it. If
that doesn’t help, take
your concerns to H.R. If
H.R. doesn’t stop what’s
going on, take the problem
— and your evidence —
to the EEOC. What you
have described is a hostile
work environment, which
might be the basis of legal
action.
DEAR ABBY: I recent
ly hosted a bridal shower
for my daughter’s soon-to-
be sister-in-law. It was a
lovely affair with delicious
food and adorable decor.
Everyone enjoyed them
selves. After it was over,
my daughter chided me for
not giving a gift. I was
dumbfounded, hurt and
more than a little angry.
The cost of the shower, not
including my time and
labor, was well over what I
would have spent on a gift.
My daughter is angry
with me now because I
told her she was being
rude and ridiculous.
Should I apologize and get
the couple an additional
gift? I have hosted many
such events and always
thought the party was a
gift. — ANNOYED IN
ALBUQUERQUE
DEAR ANNOYED:
According to “The
Everything Wedding
Shower Book,” by Jennifer
Jenkins, “It is customary
for the hostess to get the
bride a gift for the shower,
just like everyone else.”
However, I am not sure I
agree with Jennifer. After
having expended the time,
effort and expense of plan
ning and executing the
shower, I really don’t think
an additional gift was nec
essary.
