バスタブ（浴槽）の縁（へり、ふち。縁の部分）を跨ぐという意味です。 歳をとってきた祖母が風呂に入る時、バスタブのへりが高いので（若い人には跨ぐことは容易）、足を上げて跨いで風呂桶に入るのは難しくなってきたので、そのように書いています。

    My father passed away more than 10 years ago rather suddenly. My mother dated a man for a while a few years ago, but she left him because his drinking was out of control. Her friends are all couples that have been married nearly 40 years, and she loves them, but she often feels like a third wheel (or fifth or seventh). My mom is awesome—she’s funny and intelligent and beautiful and has lots of friends and hobbies, but I know she’s missing consistent companionship (i.e. a man-friend). I keep steering her toward online dating, but she won’t bite. Aside from going to weird over-60 bars, what can I do to help her? weird over-60 barsはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

    Our daughter is 25 years old and lives at home. She rarely speaks to her father or me, and stays in her room whenever she is home. She'll eat dinner without dialogue, staying glued to her phone, watching videos or texting her friends in front of me. We've offered $1,500/month toward an apartment to give her SOME incentive. https://www.arcamax.com/healthandspirit/lifeadvice/askamy/s-2128431?fs offered $1,500/month toward an apartmentはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

    The holiday season is already in full swing, and my husband and I are already arguing over what to do next year. My mother-in-law has always hosted Thanksgiving and Christmas. She is in her late 60s and has always said she loves to host -- until now. She called my husband and dropped some strong hints that we should take over as the family hosts. We don't think any others in his large family would step up. ここでのstep upの意味を教えてください。よろしくお願いします

    本当に困ってます。 よろしくお願いします。 It is a cool but sunny day in Borrego Springs,Calfornia. As Eleanor Shimeall prepares to cook her meal, she opens the door and steps outside of her home. You see, this woman does not cook inside her kitchen-she cooks outdoors! She walks over to a strange-looking piece of equipment and opens a glass door to put in her bread. She then opens the lower part of another glass and wood construction and says,“I'm going to check on this chicken and rice and see how it'scooking.” As she takes off the top of the pot,　she can see that the dish is cooking nicely. “Ah, it's doing a good job,”she says. Shimeall's meal looks delicious; however, there is one remarkable thing about her cooking method. Unlike most people, she is not using electricity, gas, charcoal, or wood to cook her food. Insted, Shimeall is using the sun to make her meal, and she has done it almost every day for more than 20 years.She cooks with solar power!

    My mother chooses to hide the fact that her boyfriend is a pedophile. He abused me 15 years ago, when I was a teenager, and it still haunts me. Mom broke up with him for a short period of time, but they got back together, and the abuse started again. She didn't want to press charges because it would mess up his retirement. She is still seeing this man. I have had great therapy. My wonderful husband and I have a 5-year-old daughter. We used to allow her to stay overnight at Grandma's until she told us that Grandma took her to her boyfriend's house. I wrote my mother a letter and told her that as long as this man is in her life, we wouldn't be. we wouldn't beは何か省略されているのでしょうか？意味も教えてください。よろしくお願いします

    I have a longtime friend who opened up her own family therapy practice a few years ago. She is a great person and a credit to her profession, but more and more often she is unable to “shut off” her advice-giving. She’ll give her “professional opinion” and suggest techniques for others to try, without being asked, in private conversations, in group settings, at parties, at church, and on social media. You might think, “This is great! Free professional advice!” as I did at first, but instead of feeling heard as a friend, I feel like my whole life is up for comment or criticism. my whole life is up for comment or criticismとはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします
