Grandparent feels that family
has been slowly drifting apart
DEAR ABBY: Two
years ago, my son and his
family moved a couple of
hours away. He's my only
child. I know he’s busy
with his wife, two chil
dren and his job, but I
would like to hear from
him more than every two
weeks — or longer — just
to know what is going on
in their lives. He told me I
could call him, but I feel
like I'm imposing. I'd like
to be more involved in
their lives. I would also
like to be closer to my
daughter-in-law. We have
had a couple of good
phone conversations
recently, but I sense that
she wants her own space.
I'm not an overbearing
person, and I’m working
on expectations vs. reality,
being overly emotional
when my expectations are
not met and fear of shar
ing these emotions
because I'm afraid my son
and his wife won't like
what I have to say. I feel
they have been pushing
me away.
What can I do, other
than wait for them to call
and work on how not to
get upset when they don't
include me? They have let
the grandchildren stay
with me a couple of weeks
at different times over the
summer. I'm trying to do
things with friends, but I
really prefer being around
my son and family
because I feel happier (or
used to). It has been heart
breaking. — WORKING
ON IT
DEAR WORKING ON
IT: Your son has told you
it's all right to call him, so
you should. Because of
the blessing of modern
technology, there are other
options as well - texting,
video chat, etc. If you are
unfamiliar with them,
make it a point to learn.
Be grateful your son and
his family are indepen
dent, and try harder to fill
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
more of your time with
hobbies and interests of
your own. If you do, you
will be a more interesting
person to be around. Your
son and his wife should
not be the focus of your
life the way he was when
he was a child and you
were responsible for him.
It isn’t healthy for you or
your relationship with
them.

DEAR ABBY: My fian
ce and I are in our late 20s
and get into arguments
about what time to leave a
party. I usually need to
leave around 11:00 p.m.
or midnight, and I think he
should leave when I do.
I'm a full-time student
with a full-time job, so I
don't go out often.
Between school and work,
I don't have weekends off
like he does. He accuses
me of being selfish for
wanting him to leave. He
says he doesn’t want to be
"lame.” I don't think it's
appropriate for a woman
to leave a party on her
own. Am I selfish? Should
I try to stay up later so he
can have a good time? —
PARTY ETIQUETTE
DEAR PARTY
ETIQUETTE: No, your
job and your studies have
to be your top priority.
Years ago, I would have
agreed that your fiance
should leave with you.
However, these days,
women are more indepen
dent. Cellphones and ride
sharing have given us
other options. Unless you
are concerned that leaving
alone would be dangerous,
don't turn it into an argu
ment if he wants to stay.
