THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
Toothy turmoil Dear Annie: I am 65 years old. I am divorced, and my children are out on their own. I made sure they had a decent life. I have an associate degree and am lacking four classes to finish out my bachelor’s degree. I have found myself at a crossroads. I would like to work for a few more years. I am taking a coding class, but I don’t think that is what I want to do. I used to enter a lot of information for a large insurance company years ago. What are some of your suggestions on what would be best for me at this point in my life? — Starting a New Chapter Dear Starting: They say when you do what you love, you never work a day in your life. Consider some of your hobbies. Finding a job in an area you enjoy and already have familiarity with will surely help in your transition back into the workforce. For information on companies that are looking to employ seniors specifically, try visiting AARP.org. If you’re not sure coding is the right fit and no other interests stand out, perhaps you can start with a career aptitude test. It’s never too late to find your calling. ——— Dear Annie: My wife and I have two boys, 10 and 12. For years, my wife has been either brushing their teeth herself — long past when it was appropriate — or hovering over them nightly to ensure they are doing it the “right” way. Every night she asks them, “Did you do all the things? Pre-rinse? Brush? Floss? Use fluoride?” The kids HATE it. Whether she is doing the brushing or the hovering, it always leads to yelling and screaming, largely in defiance. In her defense, the hygienist did say that sometimes it’s OK for parents to step in like this since kids don’t have the ability to get those hard-toreach places, but the hygienist is not in our home to witness the anxiety and frustration this causes everyone. I have tried for years to reason with her that this sort of helicoptering has run its course and is now doing more harm than good, even if that means they get a cavity here or there, or need braces (both of which I argue will likely happen regardless!). I think it boils down to the old “no one can get the teeth as clean as me” approach. I love my wife, but this has become a major bone of contention. Help! — Gritting My Teeth
Legals@DavisEnterprise.net Dear Gritting: At ages 10 and 12, excessive vigilance is not necessary, and it certainly is not worth having nightly fights over. Your boys will be aware of their smiles, especially around girls, in the next few years. If there is any complaining at that time, don’t be surprised if they ask you why you didn’t allow Mom to brush their teeth more. It sounds like you have a close family, and this situation requires compromise. Ask your wife to back off some, so that you can both grit your teeth — you, because she will still be reading off her checklist, and she, because you will openly side with the boys in not taking each dental hygiene step so seriously. Of course, no matter what, they should keep brushing their teeth.
For teens, cellphones are a privilege — not a right Dear Annie: I am a single mom of four wonderful boys, two of whom are teenagers. I try my best to be good about discipline, and I take away their internet privileges when they don’t do what is expected of them or when they stay up too late playing games online or chatting with friends. My two oldest sons also have phones, which I confiscate when they misbehave. It really seems to be the only thing that gets their attention and motivates them to get their act together. My oldest son, who is 17, bought his phone from someone a few years ago. It does not get service, but he uses Wi-Fi and apps to communicate with his friends. He also takes the family phone, which does get service, to school with him so he can text with his girlfriend throughout the day. This phone is meant to be left at home at all times. When I take his phone away, his argument is that he bought that phone himself and I have no right to take it from him. When I take the family phone away from him, his argument is that he needs it in case his boss tries calling him. He works on weekends; his job isn’t even open throughout

the week after he gets home from school, so that argument has no validity, in my opinion. I tell him that as long as he is living under my roof, he has to abide by my rules. I tell him there are consequences for his actions, which include losing his internet and phone privileges for a period of time. He tells me I’m trying to control him and keep him from talking to anyone outside of our home. I tell him that’s not true; I’m just doing my job as a parent, and not being able to talk to friends is part of his punishment. Taking away the internet is my best weapon for discipline in my house. My question is, am I in the wrong for taking his phone that he bought himself? — Mean Mom in Illinois Dear Mean Mom in Illinois: No, you are not in the wrong for taking away your high schooler’s phone and internet privileges, even if he bought it himself. What you are wrong for is signing your letter “Mean Mom.” There is nothing mean about disciplining your son; in fact, it is one of the kindest things you can do for a young adult.
Dear Annie: I am in my 60s and totally discombobulated by the losses in my life. I check obituaries before I call someone because so many friends are gone. I really don’t know where to go or what to do. Each friend was so valuable to me. I am like a fish out of water trying to pull myself together only to hear that a couple more have passed. Please write on this topic. — Loss Dear Loss: The golden years offer us a choice — to focus on loss or freedom. It’s true that as we age, we encounter more death. But it is also true that many of the demands of our youth and middle age are lessened, which gives us more freedom to do what we like. Get involved with a group from your church or with a hobby — where you can interact and take your mind off so many of your friends’ early deaths. Make a list every night before you go to sleep of three things that you are grateful for. A positive attitude promotes good health, while dwelling on the negative reinforces feelings of loss and despair.

Don’t forget about your finances Dear Annie: My sister and I have an older brother. We had a falling out with him several years ago and have not spoken to him or his wife since. My sister and brother both live within five miles of our mother. Our mom was not part of the falling out. She was diagnosed with dementia a few years ago and lost her driving privileges over a year ago. Our brother rarely calls our mom or offers to give her rides, and he never stops by to check on her. When she calls him for help, or just to chat, he acts like she is a complete inconvenience (actually, this isn’t a new behavior). He’s even retired! We don’t mind being the ones she calls for help and rides, but we do get angry that he won’t take 20 minutes out of his week, or even his month, to see how she’s doing. It would make her day to get a visit or a phone call, especially during the past two years. Our question is: Are we required to let him know when Mom really starts going downhill or if some-
thing serious happens to her before then? We’re both feeling like he’s lost that privilege, but it probably wouldn’t matter to him anyway, considering his behavior up to this point. Also, there is no chance of a reconciliation. He and his wife are incredibly self-centered people who think they are saints. — Simmering Sisters Dear Simmering Sisters: I have no doubt that your brother and his wife are being selfish and think they are saints. But sometimes, when we point a finger at someone, there are three pointing back at us. See if you and your sister have exhausted all vehicles of open dialogue and forgiveness with your brother. Remember, you only have one brother, and he is your family. With that being said, no, you are not required to tell your brother if something goes wrong with your mom — but it is the right thing to do. She is still his mother, and if you have the heart and kindness to take care of her, then by all means, you should tell him. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.
