PARENTS TRY TO EXTORT DETAILED ACCOUNTING OF WEDDING GIFTS
DEAR ABBY: Shortly before my wedding, I decided to have my
teeth fixed. The dentist quoted me a price of $4,000, which
my husband and I could not afford since we were paying for
our entire wedding.
My parents agreed to pay the dental bill as soon as it
arrived. However, there is now a "stipulation." They are
demanding the full list -- including exact dollar amounts
-- of what EACH of our guests gave us for wedding gifts. If
I refuse, my parents now say our previous verbal agreement
is worthless, and my husband can cover my dental bill.
Am I wrong for not wanting to give them the dollar amount or
tell them what each guest gave at our wedding? They call me
at work and insist I tell them because they "must" know if
their family and friends "disrespected" them. I feel that
whatever people gave us is whatever they could afford, and
my husband and I are very happy with the gifts we received.
-- NEWLYWED IN DARIEN, CONN.
DEAR NEWLYWED: Your parents are wrong to attempt to black-
mail you into sharing the list with them. That information
is none of their business. I hope you stand firm, call your
dentist and work out a payment plan.
DEAR ABBY: I'm a 73-year-old man in reasonably good health
who would like to own a dog. However, I have two concerns:
A dog might outlive me, or I might outlive the dog -- which
would be traumatic for me. I'd appreciate your opinion.
-- THINKING OF ADOPTING IN LAS VEGAS
DEAR THINKING: It is well known that pets lower levels of
stress and depression. Adopting a dog could give you a new
"leash" on life because responsible pet owners must establish
a regular routine and exercise their animals.
However, before you take the plunge, consult your doctor
about whether you're healthy enough to have one, and ask a
veterinarian about the care it will require and whether you
should adopt an adult dog rather than a puppy. Then talk to
your lawyer about ensuring that, in the event of your death,
your faithful companion will be cared for until it joins you
in the Great Puppy Park in the sky.

DEAR ABBY: I am writing this as a mother of four and an oper-
ating room nurse for 30 years. Once again, I had to pull a
crying mother from her child so I could take the child into
the operating room.
I understand that a child having surgery is upsetting and
stressful. My own children have had to have surgical
procedures done, so I know the feeling. But if I can help
parents understand one thing, it would be that the child
looks to the parent for support. If the mother is crying
and clinging at the bedside, the message the child receives
is: If Mom is that upset, something bad must be about to
happen to me.
No one is implying that you do not love your child or you
are not worried about him or her, but it does no one any
good if you have to be peeled off your child. Please send
your little one off with kisses and encouraging words, and
the child will be a little less frightened.
-- WISCONSIN R.N.
DEAR WISCONSIN R.N.: I'm printing your letter verbatim. As
traumatic as sending a child into surgery can be for both
parent and child, the words a child needs to hear are,
"You'll be going to sleep, and when you wake up, Mommy will
be right here. I love you. Now give me a kiss." For the
child's sake, venting for stress relief should be saved for
the waiting room.
