Dear Amy: In my mailbox today was a credit card bill addressed to my husband with a sticky note attached.
According to 18 U.S. Code 1702, it is a potentially serious offense to deliberately open someone else’s mail.
Notify this neighbor, “This has happened twice now. We look at all the mail that lands in our box very carefully and make sure it is ours before opening it. We expect you to be as careful with our mail as we are with yours. This is a serious violation of our privacy, and we hope it doesn’t happen again.”Our daughter lives in a different country and before COVID we would visit one another at least once a year.
It has been sad for us that our grandchildren are so far away, even though technology has enabled us to have a good relationship.While talking to her father recently she told him that ever since his birthday she’d been thinking she’d like to go on a trip just with him, and that she thinks she can easily get away for two weeks to make it happen.
Your daughter seems to have seen this landmark birthday as a good reason to spend special time with her father .— When she saw the two of you recently, her perception was that her father had aged a lot during the past year. She is worried about him.— They’ve never had a close connection, and she wants to forge one.— You and she have never been close, and her exclusion is deliberate.You should tell her, “I love the idea of your father-daughter trip. Dad’s really looking forward to it.
