[quote=Anonymous]Very close with my parents, who both worked in the public school system (not in the DC area although they live here now to be close to young grandkids). Dad retired at 55.  We frequently discuss stuff with my parents, everything from financial (suggestions re investing or how to figure out best bridge loan when buying one place and selling the other at the same time, etc) to work (reviewing resumes - the more good eyes the better!), although my mom told me I was crazy to accept my current job, and she was wrong: best job I've ever had (pay is crap, but I love what I do, who I do it with and I learn new things every day).

We also talk with them if a kid gets in trouble - we don't always want to advertise our kids mistakes to their friendsparents, but talking with others about age appropriate consequences, or suggestions is great.

Just reread what I wrote, and we don't actually talk with them about every little thing, but are at the age where we are all good friends, and it works for us.[/quote]
