When I was a teenager he made leering and gross comments to me; I knew he’d been drinking and didn’t know what to do about it, so I did my best to avoid him.
DEAR AMY: My parents are wonderful people. They have a long-time friend, “Roger,” who is a heavy drinker and doesn’t have a family of his own. He doesn’t seem to reciprocate their friendship, and they seem to accept Roger as something of a family member – he’s just someone who is often around.
In a congratulatory card we asked them to inform us when they set the date so we could book the flights.I told him we would love to meet them for dinner on a trip we plan for later this year, and they agreed.We did not receive one – and I doubt it was lost in the mail. While I am prepared to send $1,000 like we gave to a niece on my wife’s side, my wife disagrees because we were invited to and attended her niece’s wedding.I am inclined to just let it go and send the gift, but what’s your take?DEAR DISAPPOINTED: I think you jumped the gun when you responded to this engagement by assuming they’d be having a wedding and that you would be invited.
