[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The older people I meet who don’t date/never married seem very fussy and particular. I think they prefer life alone and not having to share. Not how I’d like to live personally, but some people are like that.[/quote]
+1  Most people aren't meant to be an island, but if she's happy with her friends then let her be.

I'm not a huge social person. I really like my alone time.

But, I do think that being too close to your parents at this age is a red flag, though.  They are not going to live that much longer, then what? Your social connection shrinks. Who will she go on vacations with?[/quote]

I am a PP. Not everyone goes on vacation. I hate them. I only go to the beach 4 days a year for the kids. I have not taken an actual vacation since 2008. Also, many people travel alone if they like taking vacations. That is really not a worry. I am sure she has friends when her parents die. My parents never took a non-kid vacation and since I left home at 17--and I am now 47--they have not went on vacation in 30 years. This is a very priveledged site. My grandparents literally never went on vacation. People don't "need" vacations. Friends can be like family. [/quote]
? but the thread is not about you, but OP's sister who does go on vacation with their parents.

But, thanks for sharing your boring existence.

BTW, my parents were low income immigrants to this country, and even they have gone on vacation other than back to their home country, which they did once, maybe twice in the 50+ years they've lived here. But, they've gone elsewhere.  Even they can appreciate traveling to other parts of the country/world.

I was responding strictly to the ridiculousness of saying she is too close to her parents and the horror of "who will she go on vacation with?" There is literally nothing wrong with OP's sister.[/quote]
