Ask Amy: Cohabiting couple should mop up mess
I don’t know how to handle this.
– Dined and Dashed
Dear Dined: It seems as if your friends owe you for their portion of the wine and dessert you provided.
You could mention this to your friend, but mainly you should use this as a heads-up for the next time they host. I don’t see this as “disgusting” behavior, although it is revealing.
Dear Amy: Kudos from this reader for your exemplary response to “J in NY,” the uncle who seemed way too focused on his toddler nephew’s “refusal” to hug him.
Children should be able to decide on their own whether they want to submit to any kind of physical contact.
– Grateful
Dear Grateful: A large majority of readers backed me up. Thank you.
