GRANDMOTHER'S SWEET TREATS ARE CAUSING SOUR FEELINGS
DEAR ABBY: My parents live nearby and are extremely helpful
with my young children. My mom feels the need to be the "fun"
grandma, and her way of accomplishing it is to always have
sweet treats available for the kids in her home. In my home,
she allows them to skip vegetables at dinner and loads them
up with dessert. Because she is helping me out I ignore this,
but every once in a while I ask her in front of the kids to
refrain from giving them sweets.
My children recently told me that the second I walk out the
door she goes and gets the sweets and hands them out. They
all told me they do not have to say a word -- she just does
it. I feel this is disrespectful to me and sets a poor ex-
ample for my children. Should I say something, or am I
overreacting?
-- SWEET SUE IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR SWEET SUE: By all means "say something" to your mother.
What she's doing may be well-intentioned, but she is doing
your children no favor by creating and indulging their appe-
tite for sugar. When she's at your house, TELL her what you
want the kids to have as snacks and for dessert. And when
they're at her place, bring approved snacks that you prefer
she serve.
By going behind your back she is undercutting your authority
as a parent. You're lucky your children told you what's hap-
pening so you can put your foot down.

DEAR ABBY: I have been a security guard for more than three
years, and I'm dismayed at the treatment I've received. I am
a person and deserve to be treated as such.
I can't tell you how many times I have been verbally abused
because I simply asked someone to show an ID. Security guards
are here to protect people and property. Please remember that
the next time you are asked to show identification or sign
in. Thank you.
-- MARY IN SUNNYVALE, CALIF.
DEAR MARY: After reading your letter, I spoke to several
security officers and asked about their experiences. They all
said that when asking someone to show ID, it's important to
approach the person in a friendly, non-confrontational manner
-- because sometimes it's not what is said but the way it is
said that causes people to take offense. One female officer
stated that males sometimes give her "attitude" because she
is a woman. But on the other side of the coin, women liked
the idea of a female officer.
DEAR ABBY: My view of feminism is very broad and is based
on the belief that women are -- and should be -- politically,
socially and economically equal to men.
I am dumbfounded when I hear young women proudly proclaim
that they are not feminists after learning that I am. What
is the appropriate response when comments such as, "I'm not
a feminist -- I expect men to take care of everything for
me!" are directed toward me?
-- FLABBERGASTED FEMINIST IN AUSTIN, TEXAS
DEAR FLABBERGASTED: Smile and ask, "And what are you going
to do when they don't?"
DEAR ABBY: I am a 27-year-old, heterosexual female in a long-
term, happy relationship with a man. However, I often find
myself checking out other women's bodies. It doesn't turn me
on or anything -- I just look to compare, I think. Am I
normal, or do I need professional help?
