Dear Abby... || Your Finances Aren't Any Of Mom's Business By ABIGAIL VAN BUUREN DEAR ABBY: I am a member of that long - suffering group which I call the GWMSOC — “Girls Who Married Somebody’s Only Child.” I have learned to endure Mamma’s references to “My Baby,” (now grey - haired and 44.) I let her cook the way she wants to when she visits us. I even laugh it off when she for gets and calls me by my hus band’s ex - wife’s first name. But she still insists on asking personal questions about our fi nances such as, “How much are you making now? Did you get a raise? Is your car paid for yet? What else do you owe?” She doesn't help us financially, (in fact we help her) so must we answer her questions? QUIZ KID’S DAUGHTER-IN-LAW DEAR D-I-L: Certainly not. Tell her in a nice way that there is no reason why she should have to worry about your financial obliga tions in addition to her own. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have enjoyed a wonderful friend ship with a married couple for over 30 years. They are living on a limited budget, so when I had a big family party to cele brate our anniversary, I did not invite them because I didn’t want them to spend the money for a gift. Ever since that time they (have been very cool and formal to me. I would give anything to have their friendship again as it was before. Was I wrong to ex clude them from a party to which ia gift should be taken? How can I let them know I am heartbrok en over this? AN OLD FRIEND DEAR FRIEND: You should have invited them and have let THEM decide whether or not they could afford a gift. Go to them and tell them you are sorry. DEAR ABBY: The 14-year-old who wrote of her disgust at see ing sex books and magazines everywhere brought a good reply from you. (To turn her gaze to higher and better things, and to seek good books, wholesome friends and spiritual learning.) There IS a lot of good around. What we seek usually determines what we experience. As parents, we should work to clean , up our local stores of this immoral rub bish. How? By shopping else where! We may have to walk a little further, but it is worth it. The merchant who takes a stand against the sale of such trash deserves our support. Find out who he is, and reward him with your patronage. MRS. L. F. H. Confidential to all the bam radio operators who were kind enough to write to me: 73 and 88: ABBY Confidential to those who don’t 'Understand ham radio signals: “73 and 88” means “love and kisses.” ABBY What’s on your mind?
