Dear Carolyn: My new daughter-in-law and I have very different tastes in art, music, literature, etc. She is also pretty insecure and not yet very comfortable around me, despite my efforts to draw her out and make her feel at home.

I just saw on Facebook that she has gotten a new tattoo that, to my eye, is ugly and badly done. What do I say when I see her next, and how do I handle this problem in general of not really liking the new tattoo, new dress, new whatever?
