Dear Abby/Oma

What do YOU do when your children ask for advice? I don't know what to do when mine do? You might be thinking Wow, that's so great they ask you! I agree, because you can't even consider giving any TIL they ask you. But not so fast, they ask and then you know what you would like to say but if you say it they will never talk to you again! So you try to phrase it in such a way that they might get the gist of what you would like to see them do but still continue to like you and maybe even ask again. Sometimes their problems are so "modern" that I can't relate and can just say "I can't relate". Other times I can relate alright but I don't want them to do what I did in that situation. Alright I'm no good in the Advice business.
