Daughter-in-law’s visits leave trail of petty theft
I can’t talk to anyone about this because they’ll think I am making it up. When my son and his wife come to visit or we visit them, there’s always something missing from my house or from my suitcase. When they visit, it’s always small items like a china teacup, a nut bowl or a figurine. After we return from a visit, there’s always a piece of costume jewelry or an item of clothing missing from my suitcase.
I don’t know what to do aside from confronting her, which will cause a rift with my son. I’ve mentioned it to my husband and he refuses to believe me! Please help. I don’t know how to handle this.
Seeing is believing. Before your son and daughter-inlaw’s next visit, consider setting up one or more security cameras. If what you suspect proves to be true, your daughter-inlaw may suffer from emotional problems that need to be addressed. And when you visit them, make sure to lock your belongings in your suitcase. That may give you peace of mind.
I am recently separated. I just started seeing a guy who was also recently separated and who will soon be divorced. The problem is, he is my friend “Melissa’s” soon-to-be ex. They are breaking up because she cheated on him and left him for the other person.
He’s a great guy, and it’s too soon to tell if this could turn into an actual relationship. Melissa isn’t a best friend of mine, but she’s more than just an acquaintance. Should I pursue this or stop now?
When it comes to rebound romances, I advise to proceed with caution, so you don’t get hurt. If you like this man, be a supportive friend to him for now. If the relationship develops into something more serious from there, so be it. You didn’t cause the divorce, Melissa did, and you shouldn’t be blamed.
When restaurant hosts/hostesses decide where to seat patrons, I wish they would consider their mobility. Many times I have accompanied mobilityimpaired family members and friends, and the host didn’t consider the distance to the table.
Restaurant hosts are not mind readers. If someone you are with has a disability that must be accommodated, inform the host and request a table that suits your needs. If the establishment values your patronage, the employees will be happy to comply.
