In today's Miss Manners column, advice columnist Judith Martin responds to someone trying to host a dinner party, but things take a turn when a guest asks for accommodation. You can send your questions to Miss Manners through her email, [email protected] MISS MANNERS: I sent out a dinner invitation to my in-laws. My brother-in-law called my husband to confirm attendance.
GENTLE READER: That someone should be checking in on the boyfriend who just had a major organ transplant?! Miss Manners has sympathy for the rampant abuse of hosts when it comes to inviting extra people and dictating menus. But she does not cancel dinners over them -- and not for legitimate excuses such as bringing an established partner and asking to accommodate his post-hospitalization diet. Not only are you being too sensitive, you are being actively insensitive.
