Ask Amy: Elder man worries his daughter has “quit” him
Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 08:25:09 GMT
Dear Amy: As an older male I have seen fundamental changes in all types of relationships.One change is a reduction in work ambition. Some people chose “quiet quitting” — to do as little as possible and still keep their job.I see “quiet quitting” in relationships as well, and my daughter has chosen to quietly quit her relationship with me.She seems happy to see me when we get together (rarely) and there is always a “love you” somewhere — but that’s it.Her mother and I got divorced 15 years ago when my kids were teenagers. They lived with her full time.I know that my ex does her best to poison their relationship with me.My daughter and her husband never proactively contact me or offer to get together, even though I live nearby.I suggest that they come to my home to celebrate my birthday — but it never happens.She and her husband had Easter dinner with her mother, but she didn’t even bother to give me a “Happy Easter” phone call.She even had her mother give her away a...Kyiv says it shoots down volley of Russian hypersonic missiles

DEAR HARRIETTE: I have found myself in an uncomfortable situation with a friend of mine.We both have children, but my friend seems to be too lenient when it comes to parenting. Lately, she has been giving me unsolicited advice about my own child — with whom I have a great relationship. I appreciate her concern, but her constant input makes me feel undermined as a parent.I understand that she may have good intentions, but it’s important for her to recognize that every parent-child relationship is different. How can I approach this situation without jeopardizing our friendship?Back OffDEAR BACK OFF: Tell your friend you need to talk to her about something serious. If you can be face to face, that is best.Point out that you have noticed that the two of you obviously love your children very much, but your parenting styles are very different. You have chosen to keep your thoughts to yourself about how she parents her child. For whatever reason, she has not been able to extend...Man United player Phil Jones to leave at the end of the season
Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 08:25:09 GMT
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — He was once described as having the potential to outshine George Best, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney as Manchester United’s greatest ever player. On Friday, however, the Premier League club confirmed that Phil Jones will leave when his contract expires at the end of the season after seeing his career wrecked by injuries. The defender joined United from Blackburn Rovers in 2011 and was part of Alex Ferguson’s last league title-winning team. But he has only made five appearances in the past three seasons and never fulfilled the potential many believed he had. “Arguably the way he is looking, (he) could be our best ever player,” Ferguson said in 2013. United’s former manager described Jones as “phenomenal” and capable of playing anywhere on the field. His talent reminded some of United great Duncan Edwards, who died as a result of injuries sustained in a plane crash in Munich in 1958, which killed many of the club’s...Deere: Fiscal Q2 Earnings Snapshot

Residents in Montgomery County, Maryland, can expect their property taxes to go up by nearly 5 cents under a budget agreement arrived at by the county council Thursday.The preliminary vote by the 11-member council approves a $6.7 billion operating budget. Instead of approving a 10-cent property tax increase, the council voted 7-4 to approve a property tax increase of 4.7 cents.Council members Andrew Friedson, Will Jawando, Kristin Mink and Kate Stewart voted against the increase.Friedson opposed increasing the property tax, while Jawando, Mink and Stewart objected to cutting the proposed increase by roughly half, insisting schools needed a greater funding increase.The council’s straw vote approves a budget that includes nearly $3.2 billion for the Montgomery County school system.While the school system’s budget request wasn’t fully funded, Council President Evan Glass emphasized the system not only gets half the county’s overall budget, but that “this i...Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has begun visit to Saudi Arabia, where Arab leaders are holding a summit
