Formerly chubby hubby seems too unhappy
Taking in an adult child post-divorce is a kindness. Seven years of propping her up is not.
You and "Daddy" have hobbled your daughter. Your assistance has actually denied her the opportunity to experience the wonderful feeling of making it on her own. Her adult development has been stunted, and now she is acting like a tantrum-throwing teenager.
Wish her well. Tell her, "You can do it!," and cheerfully show her the door. She'll be back over the holidays (probably before), and by then you'll be happy to see her.
Dear Amy: "Flabbergasted" was extremely judgmental of the person sitting next to them on a recent airplane.
This particular seat mate sniffed and snorted mucus during the entire journey.
Flabbergasted's own perfume might have been the actual cause.
I have extreme allergies to many perfumes. If your perfume causes my allergy attack, it's your own damn fault!
-- Allergic
Dear Allergic: Many people responded similarly.
