[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 705375, member: 17635"] Hi Nomad, Does your local newspaper carry the columnist, Carolyn Hax? Our does three days/week and her advice seems spot on most of the time. A year or so ago, she responded to a mother who wrote in about her concerns regarding her adult daughter's weight - and it resonated with me. My parents have said many things to me through the years about my weight. (hurtful almost always) In a nutshell, CHax said that the writer's adult daughter knows she is overweight and she is absolutely aware of the possible consequences. Our adult "kids" do not need to hear that; they already know. She went on to write that they mostly/always want acceptance from their parents. I have no advice for any other facets of your relationship with your daughter. The weight thing is just something I have paid attention to...because I relate. My three adult kids are all slender, even Difficult Child. But, then, Difficult Child has way more serious issues than weight. Happy New Year to you! Hope you have a wonderful New Years Day. [/QUOTE]
