My manners are fine You are the one with bad manners If I would have liked the past presents I would have thanked you for them” Any comments Ann? — Grammy in San Diego DEAR GRAMMY: I feel sorry for your granddaughter Susie sounds like a spoiled brat whose rudeness was “inherited” from her mother If Susie doesn’t change her attitude her life is going to be quite empty Since your granddaughter doesn’t like your gifts I suggest that you send her nothing more than a simple card on future occasions And please don’t cave in You could teach her a lesson far more valuable than any gift you might buy MOMlWOW WHOT?
