Birthday party issues frustrate two adults in a Dear Abby column
Dear Abby advises that a surprise party or casual birthday dinner is not mandatory and notes the guests were not at fault. The first man canceled politely while the neighbor acted immaturely. The columnist urges discreet planning and not taking the reactions personally. A separate reader seeks guidance on visiting a mother far away, with guidance to assert boundaries and enjoy the trip.
