Ask Amy: Morning grouch struggles with perky mom

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:31:40 GMT

Dear Amy: I am the only “NOT-Morning” person in my family.Talking in the morning, or any noise, smell, or stimulation really, isn’t just annoying but actually more akin to painful. It’s like nails on a chalkboard, or being pinched — it elicits an involuntary reaction of cringe and a desire to retreat.My mother takes this really personally.First thing in the morning she wants to tell me things, or worse — ask me things. At best, I can muster a “Good morning” and a grunt, but I don’t think she’s ever understood just how much restraint is required for anything other than a snarl.She’s repeatedly accused me of being rude or mad at her, and the simple truth is that it’s not her — I just don’t want to talk in the morning, at all, to anybody.I have been explaining this for years, and to be honest I actually feel SHE’S being rude for not respecting this simple boundary.It starts both our days off wrong, to the extent that I just stay in ...

It’s where you might read, write in a journal or enjoy your own taste in music, podcasts or movies.Time to plan a primary suite that both expresses the real you and makes you feel truly at ease. Also called the owner’s suite, this haven might exist on the main level or upstairs.Wherever the owner’s suite is, it’s wise to get involved in the details before construction begins.In their mission to keep home energy use and costs down by regulating indoor temperatures, California builders already install high-quality, high-density insulation.That insulation, along with low-emissive windows and doors with tight door seals, also helps keep out exterior noise. But a buyer who wants even more tranquility can ask builders about installing additional sound-dampening construction techniques.Some builders may already add extra interior in...

Los rivales de Donald Trump lo atacaron en reiteradas oportunidades el miércoles durante el segundo debate entre aspirantes a la nominación presidencial del Partido Republicano, en el que arremetieron contra el expresidente por ausentarse del evento mientras tratan de reducir la ventaja que éste lleva de cara a las elecciones primarias.Trump, en cambio, viajó a Michigan en un intento de sacar provecho a la huelga del sindicato United Auto Workers y de atraer a los obreros sindicalizados en un estado crucial que podría ayudar a decidir la elección general. Sus competidores, mientras tanto, se negaron a participar en un juego propuesto por los moderadores en la Biblioteca Ronald Reagan al estilo de los reality show, eligiendo a quién descartarían de la pugna o votarían “fuera de la isla”.El tono del debate estuvo muy alejado de una campaña marcada por los ataques de Trump contra sus rivales y las instituciones democráticas, así como por sus quejas por una serie de procesos penal...
