Ask Amy: Upset MIL might not foot wedding bill
Do let them know that you have a definite budget for footing the bill, and if there are parameters surrounding it, you should be honest. If you don’t want to pay for any aspect of this reception, including the alcohol – then don’t!
Dear Amy: My brother had a catastrophic head injury.
He was put on life support.
After a few days, my sister-in-law decided to take him off life support.
There were several family members present when the life support was removed.
As you may know, once life support is removed, you may linger for a while until you pass.
Well, they stayed for a while, but then “couldn’t handle it anymore” – so they left. My brother died alone!
I am so angry about him being left to die alone!
Am I overreacting and being unreasonable?
– Angry Aunt
