[QUOTE="Fran, post: 117215, member: 3"] My boys are the same. I think it's human nature to reach for mom when concerned. I had a baby sister who would sit close to me if she were worried about something. They more worried she was, the closer she sat until she was practically in my lap. She was 22 at the time and lived with us. Now she is a responsible mom of 2 and doesn't need to sit by me to feel secure. Be proud that the kids turn to you for motherly advice support or just friendliness. I also will say "difficult child, [i]I'm doing fine, thanks for asking[/i] It's part of teaching them proper adult relationships and that mom is not a robot and deserves the same thoughtfulness. Hang in there. Remember kids think mom revolves around their well being(which is true to a certain extent) even adult kids until we sort of nudge them into an adult reciprocation of thoughtfulness.
