Tough Talk,
My husband and I have been successful in love and in life. We are of means both financially and with family and loved ones. We have been friends with a couple for years and they are the salt of the earth. They have been hit with some real set-backs. They have repeatedly refused any offers of help, but we’re really concerned and wish to make a gift. We know they’ll refuse. TT, what should we do? (South Park, Michigan)
South Park,
You tell them that they’re going to take your help and stop being such primadonnas. Otherwise, your feelings will be hurt. You can’t let them get away with this. Who do they think they are? ###
