[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Respect them as separate human beings and accept that they may be making different decisions than you would under the same circumstances. And that’s ok, and it goes both ways.[/quote] This and all the previous advice you must face the fact that they are adults. You have to stop parenting them and accept them as independent adults. Give them room and do not overwhelm them. Assumptions kill lots of relationships. Don't assume that they will spend every holiday with you and let them fly. Try not to be the parent who drones on in conversations. Pay attention to how you communicate. If you are the one talking more than 50 % of the time, work on listening. [/quote]
