[quote=Anonymous]I have a 23-year-old who is a full-time college student and also works to pay his own bills but no household bills. I can relate. You have to lighten up. If he doesen't want you asking him about his shoes, don't. His problem, not yours. If he thinks your banking app is shady, "well, great, good thing you're not using it. lol". That's pretty much how I approach my kid. Don't sweat the small stuff, and just enjoy these last few years you have him at home with you. For some reason, my kid gets really irritated when I suggest things to him. Like I'll see home roaming around hte kitchen, in the fridge, cabinets, etc. I'll say "hey there are frozen burritos on the 3rd shelf" He thinks I'm telling him what to do and micromanaging him. So guess what, when I see him looking for something or it's obvious he's got the flame on his eggs too high, I completely ignore it and let him figure it out. I'm not trying to stress him or myself out over petty stuff. [/quote]
