Dear Amy: My wife’s sister “Georgia” and her fiancé “Jon” are getting married in March.
Remember this: You will never regret being polite — even when reacting to what you perceive as rudeness.She was an artist and a forward thinker who lived to be 97. She was one of the first women to graduate from Oberlin College and earn a master’s degree from Columbia.
When my parents downsized, they gave a few of Gram’s paintings to the grandchildren and the great-grandchildren who asked for them. The rest are now in a pile in our home. And to pile on , my dad spent his last years making paintings.At our house, we have over 50 paintings in frames in piles filling any empty space we had. Everyone in the extended family has the pictures they want. These are the extras.
I’m not sure my mom or I could take that. We will probably remove the pictures from the frames and roll them up so they take less space.— Drowning in ArtBefore hosting a dignified burning party, I suggest that you at least try to find appreciative new homes for your paintings. Your grandmother’s work, especially, might attract attention because of the personal history of this accomplished woman. “Clean, Please!” was worried about cohabiting with her boyfriend in his extremely dirty apartment. I was with you until you suggested that he could pay his girlfriend to clean: “He could offer suggestions for how to address this .”This would create a permanent dynamic where he doesn’t take responsibility for his mess, and she becomes his de facto maid.
