Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
I have gone to the same hairstylist for years. We know many people in common. She has asked me more than once if my granddaughter and her fiancee are living together, and she has also asked about my son-in-law’s parents’ divorce.
At which point, the hope is that your hairstylist will launch into tales about herself or about someone else’s personal life -- something you can tune out or deflect. On the upside, it is not the worst thing to know -- and alert other parents -- to what your child is doing. Miss Manners presumes it is the primary reason parents do not let their children have cellular phones in the first place.An acquaintance stopped by uninvited. I didn’t mind that he came; I don’t mind the company, usually.
He was very offended and rude and told me that I should always accommodate guests and keep it available.
