[quote=Anonymous]My two oldest are 20 and 23. I don't really worry. They've proven I don't need to worry about their grades or their ability to juggle school and life. Sometimes something slips through the cracks (DD wears the same jeans every day of finals week) but it's nothing that's a huge deal. I worried about their romantic relationships until I felt sure they were protecting themselves from pregnancy and STDs. I can't control if they wind up marrying someone I don't like so I let that go. When I can, I help - DS got walking pneumonia the week before midterms and I flew out to help and wound up typing up a couple of papers he'd done the work on, and making him soup and doing his laundry. But really, you have to let these things go. You need to have confidence that you did a good job parenting and your time is kind of over and it's time for your kids to take what you've taught them and apply it to their lives. [/quote]
