[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 740904, member: 23371"] Maybe I can say it another way. Being a parent means different things at different ages/ development levels. There's doing it for them. There's teaching them. There's overseeing them do it. Then there's letting them do it themselves. At 19 they're in a dorm responsible for themselves and not just their laundry. You're still the parent no matter the age or level. Do you want her to be dependent forever? Are you letting her use the training wheels or are you still holding on? [/QUOTE]
