[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 722780, member: 1550"] Some sad folk are 85 and still supporting, enabling, excusing, living with and being abused by 65 year old "children." This happens too often. None of us want to be that women, do we? At some point we must say "i am your mother now, somebody you must respect, not your mommy who kisses your boo boos"...or that 85 year old could be us. I personally have and would give my kids leeway until 21, then it tapers off and by 30 ...no more from me. Nada. You are soon to be middle aged and I retire from the title of Mommy. For their sakes as well as mine. There has to be an age limit when they are on their own, for better or worst, even if it means they chose to ignore government services and all responsibility and decide to sleep on a park bench and panhandle during the day because they choose not to work. We cant make them hard workers. Saying goodbye to trying our fixes is better than trying to still staple together our 30--40 year old adult men and women. We will die one day. We are not young. We dont know when this will happen. They need to have something in place, even if we wish it were different, before we leave. We have to set in my opinion an age limit when Mommy exists no more. Mother is a friend and wise advisor, if called upon, but she doesnt let Junior abuse her and she doesnt wipe his messes up if he has an accident. And she has a rich life of her own :) [/QUOTE]
