Dear Annie:
Annie你好:
My daughter allows her 8-year-old son to stay up late at night, watch adult TV and eat lots of sweets. She strongly resents any suggestion that this is not a good thing.
我女兒允許她8歲的兒子熬夜到很晚，看成人電視節目，并吃很多糖。她對于任何對這一做法的建議都強烈抵觸。
The 15-year-old son spends a vast amount of time text messaging, listening to music or watching TV. His conversational skills are poor and his grades are not good. On several occasions, money has disappeared from purses when the boys were present, and I am terrified to think what the money is purchasing.
15歲的兒子花很多時間來發短信，聽音樂盒看電視。他的對話技能很弱，學習也不好。有時候，孩子們在場時錢就不見了，我很害怕錢會用來買什么。
If I try to talk to my daughter, I risk being excluded from her life. But if things don't improve, her family will fall apart. What can I do? － Troubled Grandma
