[quote=Anonymous]My two oldest kids are 19 and 22. Both go to school across the country. Luckily for me, their schools are only about an hour from each other so we can knock out both visits in one trip. I am trying to think back on what I did - we are all close and talk about twice a week. I spent any time they'd welcome me. I welcomed their friends into the house (even the ones I didn't like). I listened when they talked. When I said no to requests, I explained why in such a way they understood both why my "no" was reasonable and what they'd have to do to have their request fulfilled. Interesting tidbits that come up here often: We ate dinner together once a week, maybe. And I never read to them after they learned how to read. I never nursed the oldest, and only nursed the 19 yr old for the first 3 months. They had no tv until they got acceptance letters to college. I yelled a lot. [/quote]
