[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't parent adult children. Your job is done. Do you parent other adults? The worst a parent can do is stay at the stage of "you were so cute when you were 5, you listened to me". You need to grow up together with your adult children, not staying stuck in their childhood. That means that by teenage years you need to start letting it go, instead of cutting their wings due to your own insecurities (nobody needs me any more). [/quote] I strongly disagree. You don’t parent other adults because…you are not their parents! As demonstrated by earlier responses, there is a change in how you Parent adults, but your relationship would not presumably just mirror that of all their other friends. At the wedding for example, you are given special roles (and often greater financial responsibilities ). Similarly, you turn into a grandparent if they have kids, not a family friend. You sound very immature or as if you are from a dysfunctional Family…🤔[/quote]
