Dear Abby responds to criticisms of recent advice she gave to a woman who is tired of frequently hosting her husband’s friends when they come to visit.
Dear Abby responds to comments on advice she gave to a woman who is sick of hosting her husband's friends., who was frustrated at having to host, feed and entertain her husband’s hunting buddy and his wife several times a year.
But you then made the comment that you can’t believe the friend’s wife doesn’t help with the cooking and entertaining, and how lazy and insensitive she must be. Abby, did you get caught in a time warp? Are you honestly stating that it is HER JOB to cook and clean for those guys because she’s a woman? I’m hoping you have now returned to the 2020s.I received a lot of criticism for the comment I made at the end of my answer to “Hosted Out” — enough cold water to moisten the wet noodle I use for self-flagellation. Read on:I was flabbergasted that you think the wife of the visiting couple deserved more blame than either of the two men.
I tell them where the food and supplies are, that everyone is “on their own” for breakfast and lunch, but that we will all work together to prepare a sit-down dinner each night.You recommended that “Hosted Out” leave her home when those guests visit. Why should she have to leave to accommodate these clueless people?
