Asking Eric: My Daughter Wants Me to Give up My Wedding Room for Her Friend
- Today a neighbor's son, visiting for the holidays, began shoveling the writer's front walk without consulting her.
- As she describes, her body has changed and mobility has declined; the letter writer can no longer do yard work or remove snow, having lived in her home more than half her life.
- The letter writer, longtime homeowner, stresses her long history of independence, noting she raised children and had a career, and expects to be consulted before others act on her property in the neighborhood.
- After the gesture, the letter writer reminded the neighbor's son she had already arranged paid snow removal and thanked him before he left.
- Many people confuse mobility issues with thinking issues, the column notes, and the writer told the son the paid shoveler was counting on that income, suggesting she can still pay or pass kindness on.
