Dear Mr Expert,
I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home.I always promised myself that I"d get out as
soon as possible.Now,at age 20,I have a good job and a nice house,and I"m really proud
of the independence I"ve achieved.
Here"s the problem:several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had
places like mine so much so that they make mine theirs.
It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me.But now they seem
to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like.They bring boyfriends over,
talk on the phone and stay out forever.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes-it makes the place feel comfortable and warm
but this is my home,not a party house.I was old enough to move out on my own,so why can"t
I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy (隐私)?
Joan
Edward"s reply to Joan
Dear Joan,
If your family didn"t pay attention to your need
s when you were a child,you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
And if you"ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere (气氛)
,you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with-or destroy the
nice atmosphere you now enjoy.You need to understand that in true friendship it"s okay to put
your own needs first from time to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send.For example,"I really love your company but
I also need some privacy.So please call before you come over."
B．takes pride in her friends
C．knows Mr Expert quite well
D．hates her parents very much

C．Joan doesn"t like the
parties at allD．Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over

| I was off to go back to work one evening when I saw my two children were busy sewing things on the sewing machine. My 11yearold daughter was, in the midst of her project, going to assist her elder brother in making a little cushion. I left, and after a few hours returned to find a mess in the kitchen and in the front room, and both children sitting in front of the television. Having had a long day, I was too tired to greet them and then I noticed the material my daughter had used. It had been purchased to make a colorcoordinated (颜色协调的) baby blanket, and now had chunks (块) cut out of almost every piece of fabric. Not stopping to listen, I exploded at the children and explained how angry I was at what had been done. My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to defend herself at all, but the pain could be seen written across her face. She retreated to her room, and spent some time there alone before she came out to say good night and once again apologized for the mistake she had made. A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed, I found that there on my bed lay a beautiful, little cushion made out of the forbidden fabric, with the words "I LOVE MOM". Alongside it was a note apologizing again, and the innocence in which she had taken the fabric. To this day, I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how I reacted and still feel the pain of my actions. It was I who then went to her and apologized for my actions. I display with great pride the cushion on my bed, and constantly use it to remind me that nothing in this world is greater than a child"s love. |
