[quote=Anonymous]Remeber when your first was waking all the time and you thought he would never sleep through the night. Well, eventually he did, and looking back at it was only a few months. This period passed much more quickly with the second, or at least seemed to because you weren't so concerned it would never end.

The period you are in is like this. Right now it seems like they should be totally independent, but they are not yet ready. Believe me, they will leave soon for good and you will miss them, so cherish this amazing time of life with them. Mine are now in the forties and I am thrilled with being a grandma, but I remember this period well. We even had their friends and a niece move in for awhile.

Although it seems they are not listening to you, they are actually watching and listening carefully. They are learning how to be adults based on your behavior. They are also learning how to parent.

I am amazed at my three grown daughters. By the time they were thirty they were all  very busy being moms, career women, and wives.  They all learned every skill they needed to to be completely independent. They rarely ask for any help, but I offer to help in any way I can. They are grateful.

This year I had some health problems and they cared for me lovingly.  So for right now just try to relax, go with the flow, and enjoy your young adults.
