Young woman should be taught timeless skills
Dear Incensed: After you had been burned the first time, you responded by issuing another invitation. You are either an eternal optimist -- or a slow learner.
Regardless, you have already set this person straight regarding expressing gratitude -- and good for you!
You have been expansive, generous, and appropriate. You don't like this person. You don't want to spend time with her. Burning her with a corrective communication might make you feel better -- but I doubt it. Consider this social circle now closed.
Dear Amy: Huzza for your answer to "Gaslit," who was so stressed out about how to get her husband to mow the lawn!
My 94-year-old mother mows hers; I (age 70) mow mine, and my 45-year-old daughter (working, married, busy mom) mows hers too.
-- Do it Yourself
Dear Do it Yourself: I mowed mine yesterday. It is my favorite chore.
