CREATIVE GIFT COMES FROM THE HEART, NOT THE WALLET

DEAR ABBY: I am sending along a gift suggestion for Father's
Day for the dad who doesn't "need or want anything."

I recently celebrated a major birthday and my four dear adult
children, all living in different parts of the country,
collaborated electronically to record some of their favorite
memories of their years at home -- some humorous, some
touching, some surprising. These were written on tiny bits
of paper, carefully folded or scrolled and packed into a
small wooden box. There were 365 in all, with the expectation
that I'd have one a day for a year.

I was so taken with the delight of reading them, however,
that I read them all in two weeks! My heart will be warmed
for a very long time.
-- DEAR OLD DAD IN MAINE

DEAR DAD: What a wonderful idea -- and bless you for sharing
it. Readers, listen up! It's a gift that costs little but
time and thought, but is brimming with true meaning.


DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have done many things over the years
to help out our son and daughter-in-law, "Cathy," including
sending money, clothing, diapers, food and baby-sitting our
grandchildren. Our son expresses appreciation for our help,
but Cathy is another matter.

We send clothing for the babies, but there is no acknowledg-
ment that it even arrived. When we take them gifts in person,
without a word of thanks she asks if we have the receipts
so she can return them.

Cathy will eat or drink in our presence but offer us nothing.
She is insensitive, self-centered and often just plain rude.
She seems to have no clue about how to be gracious. My wife
is near tears at the end of every visit. It drives us nuts
to be treated like this.

I am afraid our grandchildren will grow up imitating their
mother's rude and disrespectful behavior. My wife does not
want me to speak with our son about this because she's
afraid we'll never see the grandchildren again. Can you
give us some guidance as to what we should do?
-- CLEVELAND READER

DEAR READER: Yes. Speak privately with your son and tell him
how hurt his mother is at the treatment she has received.
While it's possible that Cathy was raised having learned
none of the social graces, it is disconcerting that your
son would sit silently by and watch it happen. He should
insist that his parents be shown more respect, and if neces-
sary, explain and demonstrate for her exactly what that
means.

DEAR ABBY: Several couples recently spent a week together
on an excursion with each couple paying for their own
lodging and meals. One couple complained at every meal
about the cost. These meals were not overly expensive, and
the couple can well afford everything they spent.

Is there a kind way to express that the rest of us were not
comfortable with this behavior (often the wait staff over-
heard, and it was embarrassing) or should we just exclude
them in the future?
-- MEALTIME ADVENTURE

DEAR MEALTIME ADVENTURE: This couple may not have the money
you assume they have, or they may prefer to spend it in
other ways than at restaurants. Obviously, what wasn't
overly expensive to you was more than they had planned on
spending for their meals or they wouldn't have spoken up.
Rather than telling them that it made you uncomfortable,
invite another couple whose values more closely mirror your
own to accompany you on future excursions.
