Ask Amy: He’s a great dad, but a bad drinker

Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

I wish I could still call my parents to come over and enjoy their company as they enjoyed themselves doing little projects!

Thanks for pointing out that refusing help is not proof of adulthood! People who love to give, need people willing to receive. It's a beautiful dance.

— Blessings

Dear Blessings: It is a kindness to let others show their love through “acts of service,” as long as they don’t also show their love by going through the underwear drawer.

Dear Amy: “Sensitive, or Reasonable?” was wondering if her 10-month old relationship with her boyfriend was a good keeper.

You wrote: “When a relationship is really clicking, it feels like a happy-ever-after, not like a messy first draft.”

I read this aloud to my wife, and we both loved it.

 

— Happy Wife

Dear Happy: Well, I’m a writer. I know a thing or two about messy first drafts.
