My Mom Can’t Seem to Stop Punishing Me for Moving Away

Slate  

Care and Feeding is Slate’s parenting advice column. I live a three-hour train ride away, and yes, I am very much aware of the cost of the trip because I’ve been doing it several times a year for the past 11 years. The responsibility has always been on me, and obviously it’s never enough: “I never see the kids,” “You never stay long enough,” etc. And repeat, kindly but firmly: “Mum, we’ll host you anytime, and I’ll be happy to help with the expense.” Don’t get baited into an argument about how much money she actually has.
