[QUOTE="busywend, post: 375894, member: 391"] Thanks for the update Susan! Wonderful news about your difficult child being in college and living in a dorm - great life experiences. I am in the camp of let them blame us, we have strong shoulders to share that burden for them. I figure that is the best parenting technique for a kid that needs to put that on someone else. I also let mine figure it our for herself without much pushing as it was WAY more productive when she did it herself. Some dislike detachment in the sense that you just step back, but I really feel it is what these kids need from us more than anything else. Enjoy your empty nest! I will be there on Sept 1! [/QUOTE]
