[quote=Anonymous]Ask her about her. And listen. Really listen. Don't offer advice or how to do something. Shes a young adult still trying to separate from her parents and its natural to push back on everything. Ask if shes like to do a regular call like once a week or so. My relationship with my mother was challenging between 20-30. Got much better after i had kids. There was a lot of unsolicited advice and comments to make me better whether in dress or hair or suggestions on more schooling etc. She didn't tell me she was proud of my achievements and i didnt share any details because they got judged even though it all came from a place of love. We both moved well beyond that and now im 40 and she is chiller and i have thicker skin and we talk every other day about everything (work, kids, vacations, news etc). [/quote]
