Dear Amy: I’ve come to increasingly view Mother’s Day with sadness.
Thank you for supporting our journalism. This article is available exclusively for our subscribers, who help fund our work at the Chicago Tribune.Another of these days has come and gone, and my husband staunchly believes that he need not even do so much as say, “Happy Mother’s Day” to me.He also doesn’t remind our kids to acknowledge me, so for many years they have said nothing to me.
Are women who aren’t parents supposed to correct store clerks who wish them a “Happy Mother’s Day,” or should they just accept their carnation quietly and endeavor to avoid all human and online contact on that day? You should prompt your children: “Hey, heads up. You might think it’s lame or unimportant, but a text or a call on Mother’s Day would make me very happy.”As retirees who eat out regularly, my wife and I always leave a cash tip between 20 percent and 25 percent for good service.
To my amazement, several family members are appalled that we would ever return a meal, and feel that we should stay quiet and simply pay for whatever we order, even if it is nearly inedible or tastes terrible.Overall, they argue that it’s unfair to the restaurant and kitchen staff if something is returned and taken off the bill.
