Dear Care and Feeding: I want to do family things!
I’m an American who’s been living across the ocean for nearly five years now, and this fall I’m getting married to my partner . The country we live in is not English-speaking, and as the wedding date comes closer, my dad is descending into a major freakout that his future grandchildren won’t speak English and will never really get to know him or my mom as a result.
If you think his mythological grandchildren’s language really is the issue for him, then you and your mom must nip this in the bud. The next time he starts perseverating about it, cut it off. “Dad, we’ve been through this several times and now I need to put some guardrails up. This is where I will be living and raising my kids, and you will have a wonderful and fulfilling life with them. But I cannot keep having this conversation with you.
