look like George Gooney, but instead you
look like Danny DeVito, you’re a plugger.

Rose Is Rose by Pat Brady
when family finds out
DEAR ABBY: I was mar
ried to a man whose fam
ily always seemed to be in
each other’s business. His
18-year-old niece already
had two children when she
became pregnant again.
She hid it from every
one. When she was eight
months gone, she came to
me and told me she wanted
to adopt the baby out to a
family who couldn’t have
children, because she
couldn’t handle raising
another child.
She begged me not to tell
anyone except my husband
(her uncle) and asked me
to watch her two children
overnight while she was
at the hospital delivering.
She also asked to meet the
potential adoptive parents
at my home and said she
planned to have an open
adoption without ever tell
ing her parents. I told her
she needed to talk with her
mother, but she told me
she was desperate for help,
so I reluctantly agreed.
Two months after giv
ing birth and placing the
baby for adoption, she told
her family about it. They
became very upset with
me. They said I should
have told them she was
pregnant and that it was
my fault they “lost” the
child. This ultimately led
to my husband divorcing
me. To this day, the niece
is happy with her deci
sion and participates in
the open adoption. Was I
wrong to help her and not
tell the family? — CONFI
DANT IN COLORADO
DEAR CONFIDANT:
Your letter proves the
truth of the adage, “No
good deed goes unpun
ished.” Your ex-husband’s
niece was an adult at the
time her third child was
born. You were NOT wrong
to help her. That she would
betray you after begging
for your help shows she
wasn’t mature enough to
handle the responsibilities
of parenting yet another
child.
You were not respon
sible for her baby being
adopted — SHE was. Her
parents have transferred
their anger and disappoint
ment in her to you. That it
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
resulted in the failure of
your marriage is a shame.
I would offer my sympa
thy, but perhaps you should
thank your lucky stars that
this dysfunctional family is
in the rear-view mirror.
DEAR ABBY: My neigh
bors and I are lucky to live
in a beautiful community,
which is quiet and peace
ful. Most of us are retired.
Four of us have dogs, and
we enjoy meeting up and
walking them down our
street in the mornings. We
never walk before 7:30.
Quiet hours in our neigh
borhood are from 6 p.m. to
7 a.m.
Naturally, we chat as we
walk our dogs — at normal
voice levels. One of our
neighbors likes to sleep
until 9 a.m., and he keeps
complaining that our con
servations wake him up.
We try to talk softly. But
he complains constantly —
and nastily — about “the
dog walkers.” How can we
handle this tactfully? We
feel we have the right to
enjoy our beautiful neigh
borhood. — CO-EXISTING
IN NORTH CAROLINA
DEAR CO-EXISTING: Of
course you do. However, in
the spirit of neighborliness,
consider walking your dogs
in the OPPOSITE DIREC
TION. Either that, or stop
chatting when you are near
his house and resume once
you have passed his bed
room window.
