It bothers me deeply that she would put me down because I don’t hold a doctorate in environmental science and therefore should never discuss the topic. She demands an apology from me for even discussing the topic. She blew up at me, saying that I was too stupid to make any comments about the environment, because this is her academic specialty. We started talking about a local environmental issue. I didn’t let it bother me and went on to change the subject. Her comment was, “You can always come up with excuses.” I explained the many reasons we are saying no. We don’t wish to do this, for many reasons. She expects my husband to build it for her (she would pay for the materials). She recently asked us if my husband would build a tiny house on our property for her to move into. She is fun to be around we laugh for hours. She lives beyond her means and is now working two jobs to help pay her credit card bills. I think you should honor her in every way that she is able to receive.ĭear Amy: My friend is 15 years older than me. You say it feels wrong not to honor her in some way. Your husband (her birthday twin) might offer a unique tribute, focused on their commonalities and remembering other shared celebrations over the years. If your cousin is not able to handle an in-person gathering of too many people, you should share cards, letters, family and friend photos, flowers, favorite music and treats.
