Dear Abby: Husband thinks I’m overreacting to miscarriage
After driving him to his sister’s, I left and drove myself home.
[...] some people are unable to grasp how deeply a miscarriage in the early months of a pregnancy can affect the mother-to-be psychologically and physically.
If this continues to cause problems in your marriage, perhaps your clergyperson (if you have one) or a marriage counselor can help you get the message across to your husband.
When I invited a family member and her family for dinner, she asked what I was serving.
When I told her, she said, “My kids won’t eat that,” so I ended up making a different meal that met with her approval.
Dear Disgusted: I agree it’s rude for guests to ask a host what will be served, unless there are allergy issues to be considered.
Bring food your kids will eat or I’ll thaw them some frozen pizza.
Or, if you’re feeling brave, say: I’m serving (blank), so hire a babysitter.
P.S. It is not child abuse for parents to introduce children to different foods by telling them to taste it because they might like it.
