A recent gender reveal party turned sour for one reader when her two best friends got drunk and treated an invited guest rudely. The reader called them out for their behavior, but they have yet to apologize, leaving her feeling disappointed and questioning their friendship. In response, the advice columnist recommends that if the friends do not feel the need to apologize, the reader should not feel obligated to apologize either. The reader should remain open to discussing the issue if the friends are willing to have a conversation, but ultimately the decision lies with the friends.
In a separate letter, a reader reflects on being the child of older parents and the challenges she faced growing up. Despite the struggles, she emphasizes the love and dedication her mother showed her until her passing at a young age. The reader offers kind words to another reader who is navigating the complexities of motherhood and infertility, sharing her own experience and expressing support.
