[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am probably your age. What has helped me is: if you wouldn't say it to a friends, don't say it to an adult child. That included -the way- you say/ask it. "If they brought sunscreen" ... to a friend you would probably say, "I have sunscreen if you'd like to borrow it". That delivery is much better, not like you are checking-up on what they have done a good job of doing or not doing. But likewise, with a friend, you would not put up with endless entitled, selfish behavior without saying something. Not sure your specific examples show that. Instead it shows that maybe they wish for less togetherness, something to think about. Everyone gets on everyone's nerves if together too long. I think it's been too long. Nothing fixes that except LESS time together. You speak up if something hurts your feelings. That is reasonable. You speak up before it becomes a larger problem and creates resentment. [/quote]
