[quote=Anonymous]So my kids are still in college, so we're not quite there, but I have a tip from my own experience. When your kids move out and become independent, don't continue to assume that you have any say in how they live their life. Example, I met my DH when he was almost 30. We decided to move in together fairly quickly. His parents (one of them in particular) were VERY upset that he had neither asked their advice nor told them before we had signed a lease and moved. It was a fair amount of drama. (And the fact that he held his boundaries showed how he would deal with similar drama in the future, so it worked out okay for us). But I still have a hard time (20+ years later) with how much they expect to be involved in our day to day decision making. (And DH continues to be a master of boundary-keeping, thankfully)[/quote]
