Readers respond about ‘hosted out’ wife’s dilemma

DEAR ABBY: I was shocked at your response to “Hosted Out” (March 28), who was frustrated at having to host, feed and entertain her husband’s hunting buddy and his wife several times a year. I agreed with your suggestion that she stay elsewhere while these friends stay at her home so her husband will (hopefully) see the light when he’s the one doing the cooking and hosting. But you then made the comment that you can’t believe the friend’s wife doesn’t help with the cooking and entertaining, and how lazy and insensitive she must be. Abby, did you get caught in a time warp?
