Dear Abby: My sister told my daughter I’d abandoned her
Recently, one of my sisters turned my sweetest daughter against me by telling her I had “abandoned her” when I moved to Ohio with my oldest son and divorced their father.
After telling my daughter I had abandoned her, my sister advised her to tell me she never wanted to talk to me again.
If your daughter is an adult, then ask your other two children to talk to their sister and set her straight.
When a couple is on an airplane in a section with three seats (window, middle, aisle) and a male stranger has the window seat, should the woman sit in the middle seat beside the male stranger, or in the aisle seat exposed to all passengers walking by?
When someone makes an airline reservation, a particular seat is usually assigned and the airline expects the passenger to sit there unless the crew is notified and approves the change.
There are many variables regarding why a person would want an aisle seat.
Among them would be access to the bathroom, a person’s size or a desire for more personal space.
If sitting in the middle seat in close proximity to a man you don’t know would bother you, mention it to one of the cabin crew and request a change, or just switch seats with your travel companion.
Is there a social rule that makes my behavior incorrect? I find it hard to believe someone would get into trouble for talking to a person in the bank at any age.
What you are “missing” is the fact that your wife is insecure, and your daughter backed her mother up.
