Dear Amy: My cousin “Joan” has been separated from her husband for 16 months.
Joan spent the three days feeling betrayed, used, and brokenhearted; memories that she had hoped to make were forever ruined.My take on this episode is that it is an outrageous boundary-leap.
I cannot imagine what “Joan’s” adult children were thinking when they participated in this stunt, but let’s try the kindest possible scenario: that they were manipulated by their father, and this was just an enormous miscalculation and a terribly executed and failed attempt to possibly “Parent Trap” their folks together.
It’s too bad that Joan has allowed her children to terrify her into believing that they would withhold access to the grandchildren if she doesn’t do their bidding. As long as she permits them to control her in this way, they will continue to act out and then blame her for reacting.Any legal agreement might include language that ex-spouses are NOT to show up on family vacations where the other ex is present, without prior knowledge.
I respect and value restaurant workers, especially servers, as I was one for many years during high school and college. Yet I feel like I’m being pressured to provide a tip even when I have no interaction with a server and am not getting any more service than I did pre-pandemic.The “tip” you’re prompted to add before even receiving your food should be considered a “service fee” and yes, it is recommended that you should add on this fee — or customize your own.
