In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane suggests an elderly mother and her son find a compromise on how long he stays when he comes to visit.
When an elderly reader suggested her son only come visit for a couple days, he got upset and told her the length of the visit wasn't worth the time and cost to travel to another country. Annie Lane agrees with him.I have been married to my second husband for 40 years, and we are both in our 80s and not in the best of health. My problem is extended visits from my sons -- one son lives in Asia, and the other lives across the other side of the U.S.
Talk has begun about the next visit, and I don’t know how to communicate that the visits are too much for me to handle. Last time we spoke, I told him that I could only open my home for a day or two. He became angry and said that wouldn’t make it worth his while to come. I don’t want to alienate him, but at our age, we don’t need this. I would appreciate any advice you could give me. -- Feeling GuiltyTraveling across the world for a one- or two-day visit is indeed not worth his while.
