I’m planning to have more work done this summer and I’m afraid that when she visits, she’ll be critical of me again, even though I’m 32.
DEAR ABBY: I am tattooed. I have 11 spread over my body. I grew up with strict rules. My mom always said no piercings or tattoos while I was under her roof. I got my first tattoo at 22 while away at college. I had to tell her about it because of a family beach vacation. She was disappointed. I have continued to get inked throughout my life. Every time she noticed a new tat, she voiced a negative opinion.
We live in different states now, so the subject of my tattoos hasn’t come up lately. A year ago, she was here to visit and didn’t say one word about my ink. I’m planning to have more work done this summer and I’m afraid that when she visits, she’ll be critical of me again, even though I’m 32, have an above-minimum-wage job, and my husband and I own our own home.
DEAR TATTED: What you say to your mother is, “You know I love you, Mom. Thank you for the beautiful body you gave me. I’m sorry you are disappointed with what I have done with it, but in the future please keep your negative comments to yourself because they are hurtful.”DEAR ABBY: I’m engaged to marry the love of my life. We’ve known each other since we were school-age . It will be a second marriage for both of us.
DEAR PERTURBED: I can understand why you are bothered. Successful relationships -- marriages in particular -- are built on trust and honest communication, both of which appear to be absent in this love story. If you “absolutely know” your fiancé loves you, why have you been monitoring his online activities? I think it’s time for full disclosure. Tell him why you felt the need to snoop on him and ask him why he feels the need to check on what his ex is doing.
DEAR ASSUMING: My response would be to smile and say, “Yes, please,” if I didn’t want my server to keep it, which is rare.Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
