 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: I have two kids and my parents were very involved and supportive throughout both pregnancies. Now my sister is pregnant and she keeps asking me things like, "Did Mom seem excited when you told her you were pregnant?" I'm struggling with how to answer. I'm pretty sure I know what's going on, which is that my sister is planning to move overseas three months after the baby is born, and with this pandemic who knows when Mom and Dad will get to see their grandbaby. So my sense is they are preemptively distancing themselves … which of course is a self-fulfilling prophecy, because my sister will distance herself. So what is my role in all this? Should I talk with my mom about what my sister has told me? Should I tell my sister my theory about our parents, which might be totally baseless? Do I butt out entirely? — Sister |
