We're not talking "old," we're talking "older," as the thread title outlines.

For me, that's mid-fifties or so; women old enough to be meddling in adult offsprings' lives. [/quote]

WTF?  I'm 53, my "offspring" haven't gotten out of middle and high school yet.  My parents were in their late 60s before I was an adult.  Where did you grow up?[/quote]

Yeah, well my aunt is 56 and has two college-age kids. So you guys aren't exactly not in different peer groups. She had her oldest at 34 or so. Not quite a hayseed child bride, sweetie. And I grew up in Bethesda. [/quote]

I'm 52 with one in college and one in HS.  College age isn't grown.  They are still dependent on you.  I also know 50 something women with twenty somethings (even 30 somethings).  Probably some of them are intrusive into their grown children's lives and others aren't.

I actually think nosy busy bodies come in all age ranges and is more of a personality thing than an age thing.  [/quote]

Nice little limited worldview you have. I put myself through college, and haven't relied on my parents financially since I was 18. Not everyone's life dynamic includes a Mom and Dad Scholarship. [/quote]

O.k. but you can't assume that most parents cut off all help to their kids the minute they turn 18.  Most do not.[/quote]

Good parents do not.[/quote]

Agreed.  Nor do they micromanage their kids' lives once they do go to college but they do continue to have their kids on their health insurance policy, they have them home on breaks, they often supply a car to drive and pay car insurance, etc. etc. etc.[/quote]
