[quote=Anonymous]Our kids are ages 17-24, and we are very fortunate to have strong relationships with each of them, as they do with one another.  They are kind, adventurous and fun-loving young people.  Each is setting off into the world with faith, a good work ethic, a desire to give back and a strong moral compass.  I could tell you some of the things I think we did right -- e.g., went to church, went to their games and recitals, worked on service projects together, and I could tell you some of the things that are often recommended and that I wish we had done, but didn't  -- had a lot of family traditions, had dinner together more often.  I'm not sure  any of that would really matter, though.  Much more important, I think, is that we managed to not get caught up in the anxious, competitive parenting games around us, and that DH and I prayed for patience, humor and for help remembering that we don't possess our children, but are simply here to help guide them until they come into their own.  Watching them grow into young adults is like reading the greatest novel I'll never get to finish.  Knock yourself out, OP -- don't worry too much and have fun along the way.         [/quote]
