[quote=Anonymous]I agree it depends, and I like the thoughtful response from the poster above who has the one kid with the strong personality. From my perspective, as mom to three kids in their early to late 30s, I'd say the mid-20s were the toughest for me. The "kids" made a lot of decisions that flew in the face of what I thought was best, but of course I had no right to object (and didn't). I have a somewhat controlling personality, so having to be on the sidelines was difficult. Now that my adult kids are older and I'm more used to my role as bystander, it's become easier. I'm still not thrilled with, say, one daughter's professional path or another daughter's choice of spouse, but I accept that it's not my business and I simply enjoy the time I spend with them.
