[QUOTE="Irene_J, post: 97847, member: 181"] Nancy-don't give up hoping. Our difficult children are about 3 years behind in maturity level. I've seen greater progress in maturity after my difficult child turned 18. When my difficult child wants me to take care of something for her, I'll remind her that she's an adult now and must figure it out on her own. Her answer is "I'm an adult when it comes to some things and not an adult when it comes to other things." I think this is a real difficult child answer but also a true reflection of how they think. I help mine out more than I would like, but she has learning disabilities and Executive Functioning issues. As long as she follows the rules of my home, continues to work and attend college, I'm happy to help out. [/QUOTE]
