Dear Sugar,
Last Saturday night I met this good-looking guy at one of the college bars downtown. We hit it off pretty well and he asked for my phone number so he could text me later. However, all I got was a friend request on Facebook.

You moved a few hours away from your hometown just over two years ago, and while things were shaky at first, you’ve really adjusted to your new life. You’ve made a ton of friends, you have a great job, and you love where you live. The only problem is that things with your parents have been kind of frustrating.

I don't know what it is about my family, but we are always in constant contact. Some say my brother and I still haven't cut the umbilical cord, but I actually like the closeness. I feel comforted that my dad calls me almost everyday at the same time and that my mom e-mails me almost to the point of annoyance.
