What’s the best thing you can do to help your parents who are experiencing midlife crisis back in India? Crisis mainly stems from overthinking. Very minute financial issues and nothing that I can’t help if i need to. I talk to them daily.
P.S - Please don’t say visit them. I know its the best option but I just can’t due to visa scene.

Talk to them as much as possible. Have your friends in india talk and visit them. Have your siblings and cousins talk/visit them. But nothing is a “best” option as you know they need you there. We all are on the same boat….

What kind of financial issues? Can you just tell them you got a year end bonus and transfer a decent amount so they can take care of it?

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA

Has anyone been through a situation that you were in a terrible relationship ( stress,anger, fights, swears, physical abuse, ego clashes) and how did you resolve it? Some might have worked on and stayed in the relationship and some might have broken up. I am looking for answers from both sides. How did you stay/work on it and how did you break up and move on? Me and my partner have strong feelings for eachother and are almost inseparable despite going through so much.

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions. I have been told by administration that even though I have spoken to parents and know why students are not coming to zoom classes, that we still need to contact them everytime they dont come. For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
Is anyone else having this trouble? What are you saying to parents to cover yourself?
