Dear Abby Column On Family Hostess And Survey Caution
A granddaughter asks if her yearly out of state visits to a demanding grandmother are normal and suggests limiting trips to every other year or inviting her to visit. The advisor says such notes are common in hosting and advises gracious responses, plus options to cut visits if financially burdensome. A second letter from a retiree worries about landline survey calls and privacy. Dear Abby confirms no obligation to participate and advises saying not interested and hanging up, noting broader guidance on surveys.
