[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hardest thing to do once your kids are established is to find the new balance in your relationships. Many of my friends are still very involved in their kids lives and don’t really focus on their own goals and interests. Their identity is still tied to being a mom and they don’t really want to give that up. [/quote] I think it's hard because some kids WANT involvement. I did not and at 18 I was deciding everything all the time for myself. My parents would just hear whatever positive outcomes (I did not announce every set backs) and go "oh, that's great!". My dd constantly is using me as a sounding board and asking for my opinion. I'd much rather not be relied on so much to focus on my own thoughts and plans.[/quote]
