When it comes to setting a good example for children, parents should be aware that a single misbehavior can have long-lasting consequences. Monica, a mother of two, has been struggling with her kids' behavior on family vacations, where they often curse, yell at adults, and show no respect whatsoever.
Despite multiple warnings from the rest of the family, Monica refuses to take responsibility for their actions, often shifting the blame onto others and becoming defensive. Her reaction is not only hurtful but also unhealthy, as it allows her children to become accustomed to being entitled and argumentative.
In response to the situation, Dear Abby recommends that the family stop inviting Monica and her children on vacations, citing their unacceptable behavior as a reason for doing so. This solution acknowledges that some people are simply unable or unwilling to take responsibility for their actions and set a good example for others.
Meanwhile, 70-year-old man from Texas is seeking support as he cares for his 71-year-old wife with chronic health issues. Dealing with her condition, running a business, and navigating the world without assistance can be overwhelming. Caring for a loved one requires emotional labor, patience, and empathy.
Dear Abby recommends The Caregiver Action Network (CAN), an organization that provides education, peer support, and resources to family caregivers across the country. CAN offers free services, including counseling, advocacy, and respite care, which can help alleviate some of the burden on responsible caregivers like Mr. Texas.
As we reflect on the life and legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., his message of love and compassion remains a powerful reminder that even in challenging times, kindness and understanding can transform lives. Dear Abby's advice to readers serves as a testament to the enduring importance of empathy and understanding in our personal and professional relationships.

. It sounds like they're missing out on some quality family time because their parents are too caught up in blaming others 
. But at the same time, it's not fair to exclude them from vacations just because of a few bad behaviors 
. Maybe instead of cutting ties, Monica and her family could try having some real talks about respect and responsibility? That'd be a better way to set a good example for their kids 
.
. My aunt's been going through a tough time with her mom's health issues, and it's awesome that there are resources available to help them navigate this challenging time 
. If you're caring for a loved one or just need some support, I'd definitely look into CAN – they seem like a game-changer 
.
. Newsflash: kids learn from what they see, not just hear. If she can't even control her own little monsters, how does she expect them to behave around others? 
I mean, come on, a family vacation is supposed to be fun for everyone, not just Monica's emotional rollercoaster 
.
. That's some heavy emotional labor right there. Can't we all just take a deep breath and offer some support instead of shoving people into organizations that might not even be the best fit? 
.
. But you know what? It was all good vibes! Parents just gotta set a good example, ya know? No cursing, no yellin', no expectin' everyone to cater to their every whim 
. If Monica's kids can't handle that, then maybe they're the ones who need to take responsibility for themselves 
. On the other hand, I feel so bad for Mr. Texas and his wife 
. The Caregiver Action Network sounds like an awesome resource – they should get all the love! 
! Their parents need to step up their game and show them that there are consequences for bad behavior. Shifting blame and being defensive is not the way to teach your kiddos life skills. I've seen it happen, and it's heartbreaking 
.
.
maybe she needs some personal growth coaching? 
and omg, poor Mr Texas is just trying to care for his wife and he doesn't even know where to start 
thank goodness there are orgs like CAN that can offer support & resources 
. It's amazing to see people like Mr. Texas asking for help and finding resources that can make a big difference. We should all be cheering them on 
!
. On a more positive note, I'm so grateful for organizations like The Caregiver Action Network (CAN) that support people like Mr. Texas who are going through an incredibly tough time caring for their loved one 
. And honestly, if your kids are being that rude to others, it's on you as the parent to teach them better boundaries and respect for others 
.
) for people in his shoes 
.
. I mean, if she doesn't set a good example, who will? Her kids are going to grow up thinking they can do whatever they want and no one will ever say anything 
. Maybe instead of cutting them off from vacations, Monica could try setting some clear boundaries and expectations for their behavior 
?
. I'm so glad Dear Abby recommended The Caregiver Action Network - those resources would be a lifesaver for him and his wife 
.
, I feel so bad for Monica and her kids, it's like they're living in their own little world where no one else exists except them. They need some serious boundaries and guidance from parents ASAP! 
. It's like trying to juggle a million balls at once 
️. But yeah, Dear Abby is spot on with that Can organization 
. It's not just about the resources, but also the emotional support you need when dealing with all this 
. We've all been there, right?
