[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to make parenting decisions without expecting them to be transactional. You can’t sign your children up for a contract they can’t understand. [/quote] Agree. Mothers sacrificing[i] everything [/i]for their kids really sets up a bad MIL-Marred Child relationship in the future. Your sacrifice doesn't automatically give you a solid relationship or buy in to your kid's family. Providing monetary support (through college, down payments, 529s, childcare, etc) also doesn't give you the buy in. You need to separate a bit from your adult child so he/she can live their own life. Getting left behind feels hard when you've sacrificed everything and everyone else in your life. You need a full, independent life outside of your offspring.[/quote]
