Letter writer regrets reconnecting with an old friend who complains about everything.
She screams at her pets like they are people who’ve cut her off in traffic. She is not familiar with anything technological, so she has a negative opinion of all the apps she downloads because she doesn’t know how they work. She gripes even when you offer to fix something or explain something to her.
There is no pleasing her. Our reunion basically turned into an entire evening of trying to get her to see what she had to be grateful for, since she couldn’t, and then trying to gracefully make my exit without her further berating herself.I do care about her feelings, but the entire night can’t just be negativity.
She assures you that you do not need to — nor can you — cure this person of her unpleasantness and negativity. Rather, you might redirect to yourself that question about who would want to be subjected to such company.When do the parents of the groom give their gift to the wedding couple? Before, during or after the wedding?busy getting married, for heaven’s sake. Miss Manners would think that any other time should be acceptable.
