Dear Queenie,
My mother always complains that she does not receive thank-you notes from my children when she gives them gifts, but never once have we received such a note from her when we gave her anything or did something for her.
Queenie, shouldn’t she be setting a good example before she complains?—Thank-you Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
Of course she should! You might point this out to her then next time she complains (for whatever good it will do). Meanwhile, make sure you are setting the good example she is not, and keep after your children to do what is right no matter how Grandma behaves.
