US EditionDear Abby: Grown son’s return is a wet blanket on couple’s ‘fun’
The couple has maintained an active role-playing lifestyle for five years but now faces privacy issues after their adult son and his girlfriend moved in, leading to use of hotels.
- A couple in their early 60s reports that their role-playing lifestyle has been disrupted since their adult son moved back home, restricting their freedom to dress up and host friends.
- Previously, the couple used their home for five years to dress up and role-play with invited friends to keep young, but the son's presence and his girlfriend's weekend visits have dampened their fun.
- Hotel stays offer temporary relief but lack the freedom of their own home; the husband insists their son, as an adult, must either accept their lifestyle or move out.
- Dear Abby advises the couple to have a direct conversation with their son about their need for privacy, explaining the situation truthfully and suggesting weekend alternatives.
- Abby emphasizes that it is their home and they are free to do whatever they wish within it, urging the couple to make their needs plain to their son.
