[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You got to help them pack. Nothing wrong in doing some of that for them. I don't get this attitude of telling them to pack and expect them to manage it all. It's not going to make them slackers in life if you help out. We've done it, and just two weeks back did another moving help. Our senior is well equipped to handle the world who can manage everything, and doing it now. But sometimes is not best organized about packing or moving, that is the small stuff, help out if you can and it will go better for all.[/quote]

Stop coddling them.[/quote]

The first PP's post was full of wisdom and this is the drivel you're responding with? We know better than you. Our kids are functional and none the worse for having received help. [/quote]

If you knew better your adult son or daughter wouldn’t be acting like an incompetent toddler. [/quote]

"Why don't the kids ever call or visit?"

~You, after your adult children finally process what kind of childhood they had.[/quote]

They call me 4-7 times a week, they call their father 1-2 times a week because he works more, and they even call their grandparents once a week. And they packed 95%+ of their own items every year of college. What’s your point? [/quote]
