[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am definitely planning to interfere. Not directly but subtly; will do my best [/quote]

I will only admit on an anonymous forum that I agree with you. Our much-loved daughter has led a sheltered, not exactly privileged (she isn’t materialistic, but her every need is amply met) but definitely a snow-plowed life. We are too enmeshed and still help out with rent/living expenses post-grad school.  It is complicated by an autoimmune condition and what i suspect is mild ADHD. I am worried about her current and  future career prospects and am a little fixated on boyfriend’s future earning potential. [/quote]

You should be fixated on boyfriend's nature. She'll be better off with a caring and leader type who is a bit older and wants a follower. They'll be good for each other. That being said, she'll probably fall in love with opposite of what you think is right for her and without you hovering over her, she'll find ways to do things on her own.[/quote]
