Dear Amy: My girlfriend hosts birthday parties for her grandchildren every year, and on the invitation she asks that we bring a dish in exchange for a raffle ticket.
There is no one rule about how to host a gathering, but guests should always feel special, welcome, and valued — and not just for their three-bean salad.I’m asking about an aggressive version of a familiar issue.
I work in local media, and, as you may know, make a measly wage. We in local media work on short-term contracts and tend to move frequently. This friend has made it clear that they do not want to hear anything about guests not being able to attend their wedding due to living too far away, or not having enough money.This person has been OK as a friend, but is not my closest.I have a feeling they will sever both personal and professional ties with me if I don’t attend this wedding.
