[quote=Anonymous]My two oldest kids and my two oldest nephews are all in their early 20s. All are recent college grads who are either working or in grad/professional school. Among their friends, I can only think of one FTL situation and that is a young person with severe mental illness, who is working hard to cope with this challenge. With one year to go before DH and I becoming empty nesters after a quarter-century of parenting, I can offer this advice: 1) don't believe all the catastrophizing stories you hear about other people's kids; 2) when things are going right with your own kids, count your blessings and resist the temptation to be smug; and, 3) don't allow yourself the petty sense of superiority that comes from indulging in schadenfreude about what you see as the parenting shortcomings of others.
