[quote=Anonymous]Once my children are adults, I'm friends with them. While they're children, I'm not a friend, I'm the parent. I tell them, especially when they're griping about some rules or discipline as teens, that once they're grown I'm really looking forward to NOT telling them what to do, that we will relate as equal adults and enjoy each other's company. So far, it's working out well, as the adult children like to come over, and we have a great time hanging out. To be friends with your adult children, you have to have respect for each other's boundaries. Every other post in this forum is about how the parents go through their adult children's personal items or try to control their lives or critique what they do. Boundary issues. [/quote]
