Dear Queenie,
When we visit our daughter and her husband they turn on the TV but never ask us what we would like to see and they get themselves snacks but never offer to get us anything. When they are fixing dinner they never ask us what we would like to have to eat and drink.
Queenie, what kind of way is this to treat your guests?—Offended parents/in-laws
Dear Offended,
Your daughter and son-in-law are treating you like family, the way you and his parents treated them when they were growing up.
Feel free to ask – as pleasantly as you can manage – for what you want and need if it is not offered freely and promptly.
