[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think so much of parenting an adult child is having reasonable expectations. My mother will tell you parenting is such a disappointment. We went to top Universities (which she demanded), got good grades, good jobs, 2 of us married and had kids and really nothing is enough and she is constantly comparing to that one friend who's kids are even more accomplished and dote on her more.

One of my kids has SN which was devastating for mom and she admitted it to no one and pretty much didn't want us out in public with her. He's doing great. it has been a ton of work, interventions, tutoring, finding the right activities to make friends. He's in college-but what mom considers "a bottom feeder." We are so thrilled. I would love to see him be able to have a job, keep friends, live independently and maybe even marry, but will love him no matter what as long as he continues to be a good citizen. I have reasonable expectations for him and he is already exceeding them.[/quote]

You sound like a great mom!

Your kids are lucky 😃[/quote]
