[quote=Anonymous]I am your age and my parents are similar. Well-meaning but the my mother's assumption is always that I cannot possibly handle anything. It's only in recent years that I've realized how much I've internalized this message and felt so helpless and dependent. Again, it's well-meaning, but it's problematic. They don't usually turn up unannounced, but they still have expectations that I will see them or they will see me daily now that they're retired and there are grandchildren around. You just have to be firm and direct and avoid engaging in any conversation that suggests that they expected things to be otherwise.[/quote]
