Dear Queenie,
My daughter’s boyfriend stays up late at night playing computer games and then can’t wake up until noon or later. He can’t get a good job because of his sleeping habit.
My smart beautiful daughter has a great job and supports both of them. She told me her boyfriend will inherit some money from a relative who died recently and says he will buy her an engagement ring.
Queenie, I will be happier if she never marries him. What can I say if they actually get engaged?—Worried mother
Dear Mother,
Smile and do not say anything negative. If this man loves your daughter a lot it may make up for his less-attractive qualities.
