Family friend develops
a sense of entitlement
DEAR ABBY: I have
two sons, 18 and 20. Since
they were young, whenev
er we invited one of their
friends to join us for an
activity, dinner, etc., I have
treated that friend. Over
the past few years, we have
included one friend in
more activities as well as
on numerous family vaca
tions.
The problem is, the
more we have treated this
friend, the more he has
expected. For example,
during our last weeklong
vacation, he expected us to
pay not only for every
meal, but also every little
incidental. When he was
once asked for $10 by a
vendor, he immediately
complained. (It was for a
short safety class so he
could jet ski as our guest.)
Before he was 18, his
parents sent money to help
cover expenses, but now I
cover it all. This would be
a lot easier to accept if he
even once said “thank you”
or seemed appreciative.
Aside from this, he’s a
pleasant, respectful
19-year-old who has been
my sons’ friend for almost
10 years.
Should I say something
to him? Should I ask if he
enjoys our trips and activi
ties and if he can cover
some of his own expenses?
It is easily financially fea
sible. I don’t want to risk
my sons’ friendship, but I
feel the situation has gotten
out of hand. — NOT AN
ATM IN THE SOUTH
DEAR NOT AN ATM:
You mentioned this young
man’s parents stopped
reimbursing you for their
son’s expenses when he
turned 18. What other
things do they expect him
to start shouldering respon
sibility for? You have been
more than generous by
continuing to subsidize
him.
Because you are uncom
fortable with the situation,
a conversation is overdue
about how these things
should be handled in the
future. Be sure to let him
know that he is always
welcome, but now he is an
adult and some ground
Wonderword answer: Sports drinks
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
rules need to be set. And
since your son’s friend
seems not to have mas
tered the words “thank
you,” it would be a kind
ness to remind him how
important they are.
DEAR ABBY: Is there a
sensitive and appropriate
way to suggest to my
mother that she would ben
efit from therapy? Our
family has suffered from
generational abuse. After
years of therapy, I’ve been
able to stop that cycle, and
my children have grown up
in a loving, non-abusive
household. However, my
mother holds on to
unhealthy behaviors. She
can be quite mean to fami
ly, and it makes me not
want to be around her. My
kids aren’t close to her
because I limit their expo
sure to her.
I’d love to have a healthy
relationship with my moth
er, but I know it isn’t possi
ble until she gets some
help. Is there a way to tell
her I think she’d be happier
and healthier and we’d
have a better relationship if
she went to therapy? Or
must I just accept that this
is my mother and leave it
be? — HELPED IN
MASSACHUSETTS
DEAR HELPED: Tell
your mother you would
like to have a closer rela
tionship with her, but
something is holding you
back. Rather than say SHE
could benefit from therapy,
suggest that if the two of
you could get some family
therapy together, it might
be helpful. Explain that
talking with someone was
enormously helpful for
you and your family. If
you approach the subject
obliquely rather than head-
on, she might be willing -
IF she’s interested in a
closer relationship with
you. If she’s unwilling or
defensive, you will have to
accept the status quo.
