AND miss my REMINDER TO BUNK?/ Momma by Mell Lazarus Rose Is Rose by Pat Brady Absent father wonders about the fate of mother and child DEAR ABBY: Almost 50 years ago, I got a girl pregnant. She left the state and two years later sent me a letter and a picture of the cutest baby — mine. Her letter ripped me apart. I admit I was a terrible per son and deserved every thing she wrote. Now that I’m up in years, I would like to know about her and the child. I have thought about the baby often throughout the years. I don’t want back into her life, but I would certainly like to see her. I have been thinking about hiring a private investi gator to find her where abouts. Your thoughts on this? — DEFERRED DAD IN NEW MEXICO DEAR DAD: After the private investigator lets you know where your old girl friend is, refrain from show ing up in person. Clearly, the “girl” has gone on with her life, and the “baby” is well into middle age. Write your old flame a letter, or have your lawyer do it, explaining you have thought about her and the child, and ask if either of them is willing to meet with you. Then cross your fingers. DEAR ABBY: I have been obese most of my life. Recently, I had a health issue that resulted in my losing a significant amount of weight. While I'm happy to be enjoying life as a thinner person, how do I handle the well-meaning questions from people who want to know how I did it? I’m not comfortable sharing the details with co-workers, cli ents, neighbors, etc., regard ing how I got my new figure. How do I satisfy the curiosi ty of the questioners without seeming rude or divulging too many details? — KEEPING IT TO MYSELF DEAR KEEPING: You do not have to answer every question that is asked of you. Bear in mind that these folks are acknowledging your achievement, so try this: “Thank you for the compli- DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ment, but I prefer not to dis cuss it.” (Then smile and try not to look like you’re gloat ing.) DEAR ABBY: I live in a different state than my par ents with my husband and two children. When we FaceTime with them (mainly my mom) or they come to visit, Mom only talks about my niece and nephew. I love my niece and nephew, but it feels like they are all I hear about. It makes it seem like Mom doesn’t care or pay attention to my children because she and Dad are thinking only about my niece or nephew. They often compare my children to their cousins as well. If I mention something one of my kids did, Mom instantly says my niece or nephew did the same thing. Other people have com mented that they have noticed her doing this, so I know I’m not being overly sensitive. What can I say to her without upsetting the rest of the family? — MY KIDS COUNT, TOO DEAR MY KIDS: If your mother is oblivious to what she has been doing, make clear to her that her favorit ism is blatant. Tell her what she is doing is insensitive, that other people have noticed and pointed it out to you and you want it stopped before your children are old enough to catch on. Period.
