[quote=Anonymous]If you just want to bring up your concerns without alienating your kid; then I suggest you ask your kid if they are open to hearing your opinions. If you just start lecturing or talking about how your kid can’t handle this or that then you will sound like a Charlie Brown parent. Everyone thinks they are mature and everyone thinks they know more about their own lives and partners than their parents- and sometimes they are correct. All you can do is say, “look, I know and respect the fact that you are an adult and will make your own decisions. Are you interested in hearing my thoughts about xyz? If not, I will butt out.” If the answer is no, just shut up. If it doesn’t work out you want to be a person they can come to without worrying about losing face or “I told you so.”[/quote]
