Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
: I have two amazing girls who are 4 years old and 18 months old. For the most part, they are really good eaters for me when we’re at home or at restaurants.
Should I start bringing foods I know they’ll eat, just in case? I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but I also want my kids to eat well at other people’s houses. I am aware of the menu ahead of time, but it’s so hard to know when my kids are going to object to certain foods.Children’s tastes change all the time.
Maybe they will never love organ meat, but the lesson to be polite and graciously accept what is being offered -- or to politely decline -- is far more important.: My son married his live-in girlfriend of 10 years at a destination wedding at an expensive resort in the Dominican Republic with about 40 people, mostly from our family. Then they came home and had a hotel reception, with dinner and dancing, for about 200 people.
Many of the reception guests were our friends, colleagues and relatives, and they didn’t know the couple well. My brother has “joked” that he wants his $3,000 for the trip back.: The requirement to return wedding presents is generally reserved for canceled weddings, not divorces, even though this timeline feels similar.
