I alsoinvited my daughter-in-law, “Sydney,” and hermother. The problem is, I didn’t invite my 8-yearoldgranddaughter. I explained that I felt shewouldn’t enjoy herself with all of us senior women.Sydney disagreed.I then suggested perhaps it would be better ifI had a dinner party for the entire family the followingevening (on my actual birthday) at a finedining restaurant. In retaliation for my not invitingmy granddaughter, Sydney declined the dinnerinvitation, although all other family membersattended. My “punishment” was not to receive abirthday present from her.Was I wrong not to invite my granddaughter toa party with my 80-year-old friends? -- TRIED TOBE CONSIDERATEDEAR TRIED: I don’t think so. You were beingconsiderate of your granddaughter’s feelings. Hadshe attended, she would have been bored, andone of your guests or her mother and grandmotherwould have had to entertain her. Frankly, it wouldhave been a distraction from the celebration. Thatyour daughter-in-law would be so petulant as to“punish” you for making the intelligent choice youdid indicates that she has some growing up to do.You owe no one any apologies; Sydney does.•••••••••••••••DEAR ABBY: My sister-in-law, the only girl andthe youngest of my husband’s siblings, is beingmarried soon. We couldn’t be happier. The problemis my mother-in-law. Anytime the subject of thewedding comes up and I chime in, she says, “Howwould YOU know? You didn’t have a wedding.”Dear Abbyby Abigail Van BurenMy husband and I eloped six years ago. Sincethen, the subject of weddings has been a problembetween my mother-in-law and me. In my opinion,I DID have a wedding. There was a beautiful location,an officiant, a dress, and a commitment madebetween my husband and me. She continues tomake it painfully obvious that she feels it wasn’t avalid wedding because she wasn’t there. Her comments,in front of my husband and children, areinsulting and hurtful. Is there anything I could sayto let her know we don’t agree with her withoutrocking the boat too much before her daughter’swedding? -- AS MARRIED AS ANYONEDEAR MARRIED AS ANYONE: No, but thereis plenty you can say after it’s over. At that time,you AND your husband should talk to his mothertogether so she hears from both of you that hersniping is inappropriate.•••••••••••••••DEAR ABBY: Would you please weigh in onwhether you think wearing sunglasses indoors-- particularly in the evening -- is rude and notconducive to friendly communication with others?(This isn’t a situation involving eye problems.) --NOTHING TO HIDE IN NEW JERSEYDEAR NOTHING TO HIDE: It is said that theeyes are the windows of the soul. I agree thattrying to converse with someone who is wearingsunglasses can be confusing, because it preventsyou from picking up nonverbal cues you mightotherwise be given. The person you’re writingabout may be shy, paranoid or hiding the blearyremnants of a hangover. But unless you ask whyhe or she is hiding behind the sunglasses, you willnever know if there’s a valid reason for it.
