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
