Here is a classic for Ann Landers. Sadly, she passed away some time ago. That does not make her immune! Click here to see what she had to say. (CLICK IT!!!)
Dear Ann Landers: Here's another letter about parents who complain that their grown children are ignoring them. Five years ago, my in-laws retired and moved away. Since then, our phone bill has tripled because my husband calls them once a week. They never call us. We visit them one week a year. The airfare is $750; the rental car is $300; and we must take our in-laws out for dinner — which is another $125. Why don't we visit more often? We can't afford it.
We have given up things just to make ends meet. If we don't visit enough or call enough, please remember that we are on a fixed income, too. We try very hard to stay in touch, but my in-laws make no effort to do the same. They have not been to our home once since they retired.
We would love to see more of his parents, but we just don't have the money. Please tell your senior readers to spend some of that inheritance and visit their children now and then. — Hartford, Conn.
Dear Selfish Cunt: You sound like a penny pinching bitch. Yes I call you both a cunt and a bitch in less than ten words. That's because I'm taking it easy on you. I get it if you not that into spending you hard earned cash on your in-laws, but it sounds like they are an important part of you husbands life. Probably because your always complaining that he spends too much money on two-ply toilet paper and heart medication. You know the extravagant things.
If your husband's happiness is not more important to you than the itemized list of expenses that you have obviously painstakingly kept track of then maybe you should ask him to have his parents come down. Just because they haven't offered doesn't mean they are unwilling. Either way I say its only money and get over it.
Yours,
N. Sowl
