Did your kid show any concern for you re:upcoming storm

[Anonymous]

I am retired, and live alone hours from her—but mine has not. Plus, she got annoyed that I was suggesting preparation plans to help her (re: car issues she is dealing with).

She does not “get” how nice it is to have someone looking out for your welfare.

(Trust me, as someone who feels very much on my own.)

Oh god it's a day of snow and everyone's ripping crap off the shelves like we're about to be nuked. Go eat some gummies lady.

You raised her to be a competent adult, right? So let her be one. She has Google, she can look up the car solution if she wants.

Sounds like Another parent with a child who simply doesn’t care.

Get ready for the flood of responses advising she has a mental issue or that it’s your fault

Anyways to answer your question. Yes, both of our young adult children checked in on us and advised they were prepared and staying home.

Good luck to you though OP

OMG people. We're not getting bombed, it's just snow and not even heavy snow but light and fluffy that you can sweep!!! COME ON.

So many mental health anxiety issues in this area that really needs to be treated.

Get to know your neighbors or retain a service like Potomac Concierge to check up on you.
We don't have kids.

OP, you sound old enough to be part of the generation that walked two miles to school uphill in knee deep snow. You’ll be fine.

It's not a child's job to look after a parent until the child is fully grown and the adult is elderly

OP, I would focus on developing a network where you do live.

incorrect. Ice and sleet are the major concern. Widespread power outages.

I spoke with both my kids and offered a few reminders ,(mainly due to the extreme cold). For example, fill up your car with gas and chg your furnace filter. My kids are local so I am sure we will compare snow amounts.

Very weird take OP. Why would she be worried about you? Stay inside, drink cocoa and chill out. How old are you? If you are over 50, you have survived many snow storms.

I’m even from CA where rain drops sends us all screaming and ducking for cover but the only time I would expect my adult children to check on us would be if we were in an actual evacuation zone for fire or flood or mudslide. If we are up at Tahoe and get snowed in or have a big blizzard I wouldn’t expect calls.
