He always orders the most expensive items on the menu and complains if the liquor selection isn’t top-tier.
Published: Oct. 15, 2024, 5:30 p.m.DEAR ANNIE: Every year, my wife and I take our grown kids and their spouses on nice vacations. We’ve flown them business class to various overseas locations, and since we don’t live in the same cities, we cherish this time together.
Pete also doesn’t like children and makes it known how irritated he gets when any are around. His thin skin means that even the slightest comment causes him to sulk for days. Overall, his behavior has made these vacations unpleasant. We’ve thought about ending these trips, but we love spending time with our son and his wife, who are a joy to be around. We don’t want to stop the vacations entirely because of Pete’s behavior. What do you suggest? -- Frustrated Generous Parents
