[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 510981, member: 13558"] I work daily on the letting go also. I can tell you, as other on this forum have stated, it is much easier if they are not in your home. That is also in the book you are reading (I thought it was the same as I was reading lol), it states "that we are the first generation (baby boomers) that paid a lot more attention to their inner psychological needs (our childs) than was paid to ours". Somehow wanting the best for our children has made some feel a strong sense of entitlement. I see it so much, the kids have cable, cell phones, no rent, all paid for by the parents and the kids money goes for entertainment. This generation is not willing (not all of them) to start at the bottom and work their way up, they are not willing to move out and not have the comfortable home environment. When my son was laid off a few years ago one of the guys said they were moving back in with the parents his quote was "they had me, they can support me" including his wife and 2 kids, one special needs.
