Student dreads summer at home

Student dreads summer at home

May 31, 2022

DEAR HARRIETTE: The idea of coming home for the summer gives me terrible anxiety. I promised my parents that I would come home for two months this summer starting at the end of May. I've finally bought my ticket, but I'm getting increasingly nervous about it. My parents and I tend to bicker about small things when I'm home. The dynamic is much different than it used to be, and I don't think that we know how to be around each other for that long anymore. The thought of running into people that I went to high school with also makes me nervous. How do I stop feeling so anxious about returning home? -Summer Visit

Parent doesn’t want kids to regret lost time

DEAR HARRIETTE: My parents are getting older. I try to stress the importance of spending time with them to my middle school-age kids, but I don't think that they fully understand. It makes me so sad that my kids aren't spending a whole lot of time with their elderly grandparents. My father is in his 90s and has been sick for a while. How do I tell my kids that they need to spend time with their grandparents without sounding too harsh? I would hate for them to look back and regret not seeing them as often as they could. - Aging Parents
