Should I ask her why she stiffed my graduating son?
Most people who received the announcement and/or the invitation bestowed gifts or money on my son. However, one such person did not, and although I’ve never said anything to her, it bothers me.
She and her husband have considerable means, as they show with their worldwide travel, stays at five-star hotels, and very expensive house, cars and wardrobe. He is a doctor, she is a nurse, and they do not have kids. Never once have they reciprocated with an invite to any function at their home or to a dinner out.
She is not a friend of yours, as is evident in the way you speak of her and her husband. And they have never cared to entertain you. You can trust Miss Manners that people remember their troubles. As these co-workers have told theirs to you, you should at least express the hope — as they are able to return to work — that their parents are better.
