Dear Queenie,
My mother wants me to always tell her when I am going away for any reason – work, vacation, whatever. I’m almost 60 and they don’t need to always know where I am. When do I get to live my own life? I have a note in my wallet that says who to notify in case of an emergency and that should be enough.
Queenie, when should parents let their children live their own lives?—Fed-up daughter
Dear Daughter,
Parents do not stop worrying about their children when the children become adults. They always want to know their offspring are well and safe, especially when they are far away. Is it so hard to give them a call or send an email once in a while to let them know you are okay?
