[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 76471, member: 3626"] I think the mother who doesn't worry about her kids and bite her tongue to not give unwanted advice to an adult child is the odd parent. Parents spend years teaching, helping, guiding, coaxing, parenting. That doesn't stop just because a child is now grown, living outside of the home and is successful. I once saw a Nobel laureate with his mother. Mom was straightening his collar, adjusting his tie, telling him to stand up straight. At dinner, she constantly reminded him about his manners. Through it all, he looked at her with great affection and let her be his mommy. I think we parents of problem children have it a little more difficult because we have to parent even longer. Most of our kids are extremely immature and really aren't ready to live on their own as soon as their peers. I think it takes us longer to realize and accept our kids are truly adults. [/QUOTE]
