I invite them for dinner at least three times a week (because they decline the first or second time), and it’s months before they actually accept. Getty Images

DEAR ABBY: I am 40 and single, with no children and no girlfriend. For many years, it has become increasingly difficult to get my parents to come to my home for dinner. They live only 45 minutes away. Both are retired and healthy. As anyone who knows me can attest, my home is always clean, smells great and I love to cook.

Caring for trees is climate action. Through photosynthesis, trees pull carbon dioxide out of the air and store it in their leaves, branches and roots as they grow. In this way, trees help reduce carbon pollution in the atmosphere. Help contribute to climate solutions by joining a planting event with us this Arbor Month. https://www.tualatinoregon.gov/volunteer/2026-put-down-roots-tualatin
