DEAR ABBY: My 80-ish mother has always considered herself an artist, although her paintings are bad at best.
She insists on gifting paintings at major events, and also insists that the honorees unwrap the painting in front of guests. At a recent (classy) wedding, she insisted the bride and groom open her gift, although doing it at a wedding isn’t usually done.
