DEAR ABBY: My 47-year-old son is employed at a prestigious university.
His position involves a considerable amount of travel.
Over the years, he always emailed us his travel plans along with flight information.
Lately, he tells us when and where he is going but omits the flight, hotel information, etc.
When we ask, our requests are ignored.
When we tell him we think it's irresponsible for him not to share this information, his response is, "My secretary has the information if there are any problems."
We always give our children our travel information, flights, hotels, etc. when we travel.
Our question is, are we out of line for wanting this information from him? -- LOVING PARENTS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
DEAR PARENTS: You are not out of line for wanting the information; you are out of line for insisting your adult son give it to you over his objection. Your son is 47.
He is no longer a child.
It's time to back off.
DEAR ABBY: My 47-year-old son is employed at a prestigious university.
47세인 우리아들은 한 유명대학에 고용돼 있습니다.
His position involves a considerable amount of travel.
그의 자리는 많은 여행을 포함합니다.
Over the years, he always emailed us his travel plans along with flight information.
몇년동안 그는 항상 비행정보를 포함한 그의 여행계획을 우리에게 이메일로 보내주었습니다.
Lately, he tells us when and where he is going but omits the flight, hotel information, etc.
최근 그는 언제, 어디로 간다는 얘기만 하면서 비행이나 호텔정보 같은 것은 빼먹습니다.
When we ask, our requests are ignored.
우리가 물어보면, 우리 요청은 무시 당합니다.
When we tell him we think it's irresponsible for him not to share this information, his response is, "My secretary has the information if there are any problems."
그에게 그런 정보들을 우리에게 알리지 않는것은 무책임한 일이라고 얘기하면, 그의 대답은 "무슨 일이라도 일어나면 내 비서가 모든 정부를 가지고 있습니다."입니다.
We always give our children our travel information, flights, hotels, etc. when we travel.
우리는 항상 여행할때마다 비행이나 호텔과 같은 모든 정보를 아이들에게 알려줍니다.
Our question is, are we out of line for wanting this information from him? -- LOVING PARENTS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
우리의 질문은, 그에게 그런 정보를 묻는 것이 주제넘는 일인가요?
DEAR PARENTS: You are not out of line for wanting the information; you are out of line for insisting your adult son give it to you over his objection.
그런 정보를 원하는 것은 주제넘지 않습니다, (하지만) 장성한 아들에게 그의 반대에도 무릅쓰고 그런 정보를 요구하는 것은 주제 넘습니다.
Your son is 47.
당신의 아들은 47세입니다.
He is no longer a child.
그는 더 이상 얘가 아닙니다.
It's time to back off.
이제 빠지실 때입니다.
