DEAR ABBY: I\u0027m hoping you can help with an ongoing issue I\u0027m having with my sister\u002Din\u002Dlaw.
Our son and his wife were visiting with us in our living room. While we were talking, his wife picked up her cellphone and several times initiated texts during their brief visit. My spouse and I think it was rude, but we haven’t said anything to them. Should we? We would prefer that everybody be fully present during the short time we’re together.
During a prior visit at our house, I asked her a question. As she was about to answer me, her cellphone buzzed. She got up, made a phone call and left the room for a while. Her call wasn’t an emergency; it was just to chat. We thought that was rude, too. What, if anything, should we say or do? She makes frequent texts and phone calls when we visit them. Are the rules different at their house? — PERPLEXED DAD IN TEXASArticle contentYour daughter-in-law’s behaviour was rude and disrespectful. In your house, you should establish the rules. Consider making one of them leaving cellphones in a basket at your front door.
