Annie你好:
My daughter allows her 8-year-old son to stay uplate at night, watch adult TV and eat lots of sweets.She strongly resents any suggestion that this is not agood thing.
我女兒允許她8歲的兒子熬夜到很晚,看成人電視節(jié)目,并吃很多糖。她對(duì)于任何對(duì)這一做法的建議都強(qiáng)烈抵觸。
The 15-year-old son spends a vast amount of timetext messaging, listening to music or watching TV.His conversational skills are poor and his grades are not good. On several occasions, moneyhas disappeared from purses when the boys were present, and I am terrified to think what themoney is purchasing.
15歲的兒子花很多時(shí)間來(lái)發(fā)短信,聽(tīng)音樂(lè)盒看電視。他的對(duì)話技能很弱,學(xué)習(xí)也不好。有時(shí)候,孩子們?cè)趫?chǎng)時(shí)錢(qián)就不見(jiàn)了,我很害怕錢(qián)會(huì)用來(lái)買(mǎi)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
