Annie's Mailbox®, April 29
by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Dear Annie: My daughter, "Meg," moved to Florida to attend college and graduate school. She is now engaged to a nice young man and will marry in June.
My daughter has always been very flat chested, like me. On my last visit, however, I noticed there was an increase in her bust size that was unmistakably the real deal.

I am thinking that "Meg" had her breast augmentation without telling Mom because she knew Mom would object and that both parents would fly down to Florida to attempt to stop the surgery. For this same reason she and her boyfriend footed the surgery bill. I assume her parents DO approve of the marriage, so they should pay for it.

I felt you were way off on this one... What does "Meg" getting implants have to do with her parents paying for her wedding? Why should "Meg" have to pay back the wedding money, because her parents disagree with her getting breast augmentation? It is "Meg's" body and "Meg's" wedding. If their were stipulations on the money from her parents, I bet "Meg" would have gotten married without her parents. Why must their always be strings attached to a gift?

the issue with Meg is that she found the money to pay for breast augmentation instead of paying for her wedding. It's no different then if she took an extravagent vacation or something of the sort, just before the wedding. If the parents had always planned to pay for the wedding no matter what, then they have no leg to stand on.
as for article number 2. it's pretty simple to ask the sister who 'lost' the money to pay a larger portion back on the loan. That is a simpler step then deciding whether or not to sue. If she balks, then consider the legal steps.
