Dear Queenie,
My brother is mad at me because I didn’t call his son on his birthday. I didn’t call because it was a weekday and I was at work, and anyway I had been at the boy’s birthday party that weekend and gave him his gift and wished him a happy birthday then.
Queenie, should I have called on the actual birthday too?—Happy birthday Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
It would have been nice if you had called on the actual birthday, but having celebrated previously at a party and giving your gift then was enough.
Do not argue with your brother about it. Apologise if he demands it and ignore anything more he says about it.
