[quote=Anonymous]Long term perspective: My husband is SO much better at parenting young adults (college kids and beyond) than I am, right down to giving them much better relationship advice than I can! I think it's because he grew up in a much more functional family than I did. He knows how to advise without smothering people, doesn't take disagreements personally, etc. He was also a military officer and spent a lot of time mentoring young people in the age bracket (17 til early 20's) that our kids are in now. Honestly, if I knew how great he would be at all of this (and how poorly I would be in comparison), I would have cut him significantly more slack during the baby years. In our case, it really did all even out. I was good at the logistic, packing, schlepping, schedules, routines, naps, etc. when they were babies and he is fantastic at things like helping them find a job. Not an outcome I ever would have predicted! [/quote]
