This screwed-up animal bit me, and I’m furious about their irresponsibility.
The complication comes with other family members. My aunt and uncle don’t know about the dog biting me. When I indicated my concern that my sister and her husband would lose everything if the dog bit a stranger, they responded that my sister has a responsibility to keep the dog and shouldn’t “abandon” it!
I am furious at my aunt and uncle for putting this type of pressure on my sister. I am also furious at my sister for endangering other people and being an irresponsible dog owner. We are supposed to have a family reunion next summer in my sister’s area of the country. In the past, my kids and I would have stayed at her house; that is out of the question.
My sister and her husband want to host one party at their house for the whole family. How can I gently express my concerns that she could be putting other family members at risk?Miss Manners suspects not, and it seems clear that she has made up her mind in this instance, rendering further expressions of concern futile.
Of course, this does not preclude you from telling your aunt and uncle how very sorry you are to miss the party, but after your emergency room trip two months ago, you will not be attending. Such a less-is-more approach to the story will elicit their curiosity — and therefore be more effective.I am unsure when to serve guests at an informal dinner party. When we are fixing plates in the kitchen and then bringing them to the dining room, it seems polite to serve a guest first.
