[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anything after 18. They get to do what they want and you can't stop them. Tattoo on face, drop outbof school, drugs and alcohol, get married etc. They can do it all without your permission and knowledge. [/quote] But that’s on them. You did your job. [/quote] Yeah, I don't get this. I do think there are parenting challenges with adult kids (so hard to watch your kid go through big challenges at work or in relationships and to only be able to offer moral support, and their problems can be so stressful and serious) but the idea that they can do what they and you can't stop them isn't one of them. That's the relief of kids becoming adults and being responsible for their own actions -- it's not all on you anymore. If you are upset that your adult kids are doing stuff without your "permission and knowledge" then you don't understand the point of parenting.[/quote]
