FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESS PUTS FAMILY FIRST IN TOUGH TIMES
DEAR ABBY: I'm a career woman, working for a family-owned
business. Last year was difficult because there have been a
number of layoffs and no raises. When I had my annual review,
I received an outstanding evaluation but was again told no
raise would be forthcoming because business is slow.
I could understand this because of the current economy if
the owners of the company weren't taking expensive vacations
and buying new luxury cars.
I have a hard time accepting there's no money for raises
when they spend so extravagantly. I understand it's not my
business how they spend their money, but it's difficult to
swallow when I feel so taken advantage of. I'm not the only
one here feeling the way I do, and it's beginning to create
a hostile environment. Am I wrong to feel this way?
-- BITTER IN THE NORTHEAST
DEAR BITTER: If your employers are claiming poverty while
indulging in conspicuous consumption, your feelings are
understandable. And as soon as the job market improves, I'm
sure you will be only a part of the stampede of fellow
employees seeking another job. With your outstanding reviews
it shouldn't be too difficult to find one. Bide your time ...
DEAR ABBY: My daughter is being married in the fall and she
has asked me to be her matron of honor. She has been through
a lot, and I have supported her all the way. She says I am
the only one who had faith in her, encouraged her and loved
her no matter what.
Are moms supposed to be in their daughters' weddings? She
doesn't want her dad in the wedding, so this makes it dif-
ficult. I am honored that she wants me to be her matron of
honor. If her dad isn't in the wedding, should I be in it?
I don't want any hard feelings from the other family members,
but my daughter is determined to have me as her matron of
honor.
-- DONNA IN SOUTH CAROLINA
DEAR DONNA: If what your daughter said is true, and you were
the only one who had faith in her and loved her uncondition-
ally, then you should accept her offer to stand with her at
the altar. And yes, it has been done before.

DEAR ABBY: I am a freelance writer who works from home. I
have flexibility when it comes to my work hours, but I de-
cide that on my own terms. I have lost count of the number
of times friends and family have asked me to baby-sit, have
lunch or go out shopping with them because, according to
them, writing isn't "real work" and working from home means
having no fixed hours.
Last week my husband called me from his office and asked me
to bring him some documents he had forgotten at home. When
I realized it wasn't urgent, I told him no and that he had
interrupted my train of thought. He has been sulking for
days. Was I wrong?
In this digital age, with more people working from home, it
still means adhering to a schedule. Oh, and one more thing
-- please remind your readers that writing is very much a
REAL job.
-- FREELANCE WRITER IN TENNESSEE
DEAR FREELANCE WRITER: Consider it done. Writing requires
concentration, and it IS a very real job. However, you may
be bringing some of your problems on yourself by not infor-
ming your friends and family that you write between certain
hours every day. And an effective way to isolate yourself
and ensure you won't be interrupted by annoying phone calls
would be to turn your phone off during the hours that you're
writing.
