[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP what you cited was nothing in the grand scheme of annoying things parents do. My parents thought they could tell me when to get married (staying single was not an option) and when to have kids. It strained our relationship for years.[/quote] OP here. Wow, I’m so sorry. My parents told me to divorce DH when he got a diagnosis of MS. Don’t know which one is worse, but I’m really sorry.[/quote] First, that’s an awful thing for them to say, far worse than the scooter advice you don’t want. I’d have a hard time respecting people who gave me that advice. Second, perhaps they infantilize you because you were fine with them doing things like paying for your vacations well into your adulthood. If it’s fine for them to treat you like a child in some respects, why not in others. Nothing is ever free.[/quote] Sigh. You’re probably right. No such thing as a free lunch.[/quote]
