Reader asks guidance on a bratty granddaughter and nosy neighbor
Frustrated Granny asks how to handle a 12 year old granddaughter Susie who dominates at meals, leaves clothes about, multitasks by watching TV and forgets to flush. Annie advises setting expectations, encouraging parental discussion with pediatrician or counselor, and avoiding acceptance of misbehavior. A second reader reports a nosy neighbor who peers from curtains and eavesdrops. Annie calls her lonely, curious, bored but harmless, suggests neighborly outreach and kindness. A Cape Cod reader questions housewarming gifts. Annie says hosts should welcome guests themselves, avoid gifts on invitations, but may accept suggestions if asked. Annie’s Mailbox writers are Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

The physician explains WPW detection mostly via routine EKG and occasional cases where stress tests miss it. If symptoms persist, a Holter or event monitor can record heartbeats over 24 to 48 hours or longer. Treatment may involve medication or radiofrequency ablation, and not everyone needs intervention.
