Dear Queenie,
My daughter’s husband left her after their children grew up and now they are divorced, but she still sends him a card on his birthday and holidays and she expects me to send him cards too because he is still my grandchildren’s father.
Queenie, do I have to?—Annoyed ex-mother-in-law
Dear Annoyed,
You do not have to send him such cards, or have any contact with him at all, but it would be nice of you to do so, if only for your grandchildren’s sake.
