Public Opinion Family DEAR ANN LANDERS: I have never had children, but my two brothers have three daughters each. They are all in their 20s. On their birthdays I treat my nieces to lunch in a lovely restaurant. The seven of us have a good time six times a year, and we look forward to it. Now I am wondering if I should continue the tradition.
The reason: Four of the girls always order the most expensive meals on the menu. They ask for side dishes that cost extra. There are many elegant dishes at a reasonable price, but they never try them. I was taught that when someone else is paying the bill, it is polite to stay away from the high-priced items. Am I wrong to be upset by this? Also, I suddenly realized that I have a birthday once a year, too.
Not one of my nieces has ever invited me to lunch. (P.S. I am not rich.) Auntie T. Dear Auntie: It is poor manners for guests to order with reckless abandon, unless the host does, but to tell guests to avoid expensive dishes would be gross. The best solution: Order ahead of time the same menu for all.
More important I find it shocking that your nieces have never treated you to lunch. When this column appears, at least three of them should see it. If no invitation is forthcoming, bring this column to the next luncheon and read the following sentence aloud: Ann Landers believes it's high time you dames pitched in and treated your aunt to lunch on HER birthday. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I met a man when I was in Florida on vacation. Joe seemed very pleasant.
When he suggested I move in with him and share expenses, I agreed. The idea of living in a warm climate appealed to me. I thought we would have a platonic friendship but it didn't turn out that way. Joe started coming to my bedroom and we became lovers. I recently discovered that he is carrying on a correspondence with a woman in another state.
When I asked him about it he said there was nothing between them. I don't believe him. To my mind, Joe made a commitment when he started to come to my bedroom. We are not youngsters, and I am old-fashioned enough to believe that when a woman has sexual relations with a man he belongs to her. Your opinion is wanted.
Cards On The Table Dear Cards: "Old-fashioned" girls don't move in with men unless they are married. Joe owes you nothing. Take my advice and move out before he tells you a long-lost cousin from another state is coming to visit, and he needs your closet space. Wedding bells Mr. and Mrs.
