[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 632224, member: 1550"] I could never live with my grown kids because of what you said. Only I am the type who believes I should keep my mouth shut and let them parent, unless there is abuse. So I'd be silently fuming and silently correcting and it wouldn't work. It's even hard to visit Julie and stay too long because we love each other, but we get on each other's nerves. I think that what is going on is very normal. I do think that until you are ready to tell your daughter to find her own place to stay, and to remain on good terms, which is so important for Connor, maybe you should admit your need to do the parenting for her and try to step back, even if she does things that you don't think are healthy (unless it is abusive or illegal). Everyone's parenting style is different. I used to take my first child everywhere with me and he came with me at night if I went out and he was fine; he usually just slept. I needed to get out too and NOBODY was there to ever give me a break or babysit so it was take him with or cry and be depressed and overwhelmed at home. Chances are your grandson is in a good place with nice friends of your daughters. I would hate to hear that your relationship deteriorated too much after all the two of you have been through together :) [/QUOTE]
