[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need some sort of automatic button that just posts this reply to every question in the “Adult Children” forum: Is she asking for help? Complaining and panicking are NOT asking for help. Unless she specifically asks for your input*, go with commiseration and support. “Oh, that is so tough. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. You’re smart and industrious, I know you’ll figure it out. Not having a job is so stressful particularly over the holidays.” Etc. etc. *This looks like this: “Mom, I’m really struggling with my job search. So far I’ve X, Y, and Z. Is there more I should be doing at this stage? What do you think? [/quote] I benefited from my parents just as much in the 18- 35 ages as I did the first 18, just in a completely different way. Did I NEED the help, no. Did I get any financial help, again no, but I certainly benefited. [/quote]
