DEAR ABBY: Every year, the day after my birthday, my father-in-law calls to yell at me for not letting him know it was my birthday. He says he "just found out" after talking to other family members. Then he'll say he would have sent me a gift -- or at least a card -- if I had told him.
Does he really expect me to call him two weeks before my birthday to remind him to start shopping for my gift? -- A DAY LATE ...
DEAR DAY LATE: Yes, he does. So next year, call his bluff and see what happens.
