Dear Amy: My wife, on the other hand, loves to cut it close.
Dear Amy: My wife and I are lucky in semi-retirement to have a cabin in the mountains, a two-hour flight away. We visit this property about once a month.The problem: I like to be at the airport with time to spare, so I don’t mind sitting for even an hour before boarding.It’s like she goes into slow motion at home the day of the flight.We have missed one flight outright and at least three or four others each year are nail biters .
Three or four times a year you actually leave your luggage behind in order to run for the plane? Yikes.If I were you, I would leave a day early for the cabin. Just book and take your own flight, get to the cabin and open up the house. If your wife misses her flight the next day, she misses it. More cabin for you.
She’s made a few visits to see her and my niece gets back home often. However, my sister feels it’s rude of my niece not to respond to texts from her. She believes it’s not too much to ask my niece for a daily text to make sure she’s all right — she’d be thrilled with just a return emoji – thumbs up.This is causing a rift.
My point is that with the ability to be in constant contact, people seem to have lost the capacity to manage their own anxieties.Your niece is not serving in a war zone. Constantly worrying about whether a 28-year-old woman is alive seems excessive, as is expecting this daughter to worry every day about whether her mother is alive.
