Parents opposed to adult child's vacation plans
Dear Annie:
I am in my early 30s with a small child.I recently went through some hard times and moved back home with my parents.I have never asked my parents for money.I work two jobs and have put a little away in savings.I'd like to take a small vacation.The only major expense would be the airfare,and I have enough for that.
My parents are completely against the trip.They feel I would not be able to afford the airfare if they hadn't been helping me for the last few months.I agree,but on the other hand,I need a little time with friends to relax and just have a good time.I'm an adult.Can my parents still treat me as a child?
- Tired in Omaha
Dear Tired:
When adult children live at home,parents are prone to treat them as children.Your parents want you to save enough to have your own place and need to know their efforts to help you are not being frittered away on less-than-necessary things.They also may not want to baby-sit for your child while you are away,in which case you should make other arrangements.Thank your parents for their concern and say you need a break from your two-job routine so you can come back refreshed and productive
父母反对子女的假期计划
亲爱的安妮:
我现在三十出头,领着个小孩.最近一段时间,我过的挺难的,所以就搬回家和父母一起住,我从来不和父母要钱.我打两份工,存了点钱.我想给自己放的短假,旅旅游.唯一主要的花费便是飞机票,我有足够的钱支付.
我的父母完全反对这次旅程.他们觉得要不是最近两个月他们帮助我度过难关,我根本支付不起飞机票.我承认,但是另一方面,我需要一定的时间和朋友们一起放松放松,度过愉快的时光.我是个成年人.我父母怎么还是像小孩子一样对待我?
Omaha的泰德
亲爱的泰德:
当成年子女在家住的时候,父母当然还会像对待小孩一样对待他们.你的父母想让你积攒足够的钱来拥有一个属于你自己的地方,并且确保你没有把钱浪费在没有必要的事情上.他们也不希望在你离开的时候当保姆,在这种情况下,你应该再达成妥善的协议.你应该对他们的关心表示感谢,然后告诉他们你需要从两份工作中抽出点时间休息一下,这样回来的时候才能充满活力,工作起来更加效率!
