Dear Queenie,
My sister is dating a man who works for me and he is trying to act like one of the family. This is no problem for me at work, but at family events it is different. He tries to help out and it doesn’t matter to him if anyone objects.
Queenie, I don’t want to make a scene, but what can I do?—Older brother
Dear Brother,
Relax. What he is doing does not reflect on you. If anyone else objects they can let him know – politely, I hope. Meanwhile, accept the situation and try to stay calm.
