Ask Amy: In-laws bully family members

Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Although one must stay attentive to house and yard maintenance, I think having two or three workers per week to our house is excessive, not to mention expensive.

He is apparently lonely and craves company. How can I tell him that these paid visitors are not his "buddies?”

– Introverted Wife in Georgia

Dear Introverted: Let it go.

Unless this expense creates debt problems for your household, I think you should consider that you are killing several birds with one stone: Your husband is getting the interactions he seems to crave, your house is getting upgraded, and this expense now might well be less than the expense of therapy, later.

Dear Amy: I take great issue with your typical libtard attitude that everyone in this country has to receive the COVID vaccine.

Many people have medical issues that prevent them from receiving this vaccine. Or they just don’t want it.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

 

– Upset

Dear Upset: I have never stated that everyone in this country has to receive the vaccine.

I do believe that people who want to be inoculated against the more serious symptoms of COVID (and who are medically able) should go ahead and be vaccinated.

We’re extremely lucky that such vaccinations are available.
