[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 554074, member: 14557"] Giulia, you seem to have a very different understanding on how much influence we parents have on our adult kids than we have. And that makes your advises to feel little bit naive to us. Most of us have a long time ago come to understanding that we can absolutely not [B]make [/B]our kids to do anything. We have talked till we were blue. We have tried hundreds of different tactics and still we can not make them do or understand anything, if they do not want to. I probably have one of the more immature, wanting to please me and me having more leverage over him, young adult difficult child in these boards. And still I can't make him do or understand anything. I can't make him hear me. To be frank, if i could talk some sense into him and make him do and think like I wanted, I would not have a difficult child but the most well adjusted young adults there is. I certainly do know what he should do, but that doesn't mean I would have any way to make him do it or even see things from my point of view. That is why it is very frustrating when someone tells 'just make him do/understand something.' [/QUOTE]
