[quote=Anonymous]I think the other posters are on to something when they say treat your adult child like an adult. My parents were good parents of children but they have been great parents of adults. We have a very equitable relationship and my parents, my sister, and I are able to reasonably discuss things like holidays, birthdays, vacations and come up with schedules and solutions that work for everyone. Since they rarely give unsolicited advice, I am more willing to directly ask their advice when I need it. I have watched DH struggle with his parents for years. They were also good parents to children but have really struggled to be parents to adults. They can’t think of their kids as independent and understand that they need to respect their preferences and schedules. He loves them but does try to keep his distance because if you give them an inch, they will take a mile. [/quote]
