Denied Grandma in Washington is facing a dilemma as she cannot afford a hotel room when visiting her son and his family. Despite offering to sleep on a pallet on the floor, her daughter-in-law refused to have her stay in their home due to not wanting to inconvenience their child. Feeling sad and disrespected, Denied Grandma sought advice on how to handle the situation. Dear Abby suggested that the daughter-in-law may be the one making decisions in the household, and recommended purchasing a foldaway cot for future visits. Abby also suggested asking if the son and his wife could help pay for a hotel room, or considering sleeping on a sofa or easy chair. The column also featured other letters seeking advice on relationships and family issues. Dear Abby, written by Abigail Van Buren, provides readers with guidance on a variety of topics. Readers can submit their own questions to Abby at www.DearAbby.com or by mail. The column is syndicated by Andrews McMeel and has been providing advice and support to readers for many years.
