[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The person who wants her child to wait until he's 25 to have a beer is the same person who will want to pick out her child's first house, his spouse, and to name all the grandchildren.  Did you also choose his major and his college?  You sound like you have some boundary issues.[/quote]
Ah, you mean the slippery slope argument? That because I ask him not to be a drunk before 25, I must be controlling and rigid? Laughing again.  No, life is not so black and white. There are distinctions and finesses that all- or- nothing slippery slopists cannot fathom.[/quote]

Parent your child, I'll parent mine.  As a parent you can absolutely opt to impose tougher standards then the law does.  Just don't be surprised if your 25 year old "child" forgets to visit you, lol.[/quote]
Pp here. I didnt call my child 25 or a 25 year old a child, but biologically they are always your children.  Nor am I imposing any laws on my kid.  You must be another one of those all or nothings?  You can fantasize all you want about your kid loving you and my kid hating me, but that isn't the reality of it. My kid is given lots of freedom, and is doing great, but ... would I advise him not to drink heavily? Esp if there's other reasons? Yes, absolutely.  He'd be right to bitch if I didn't give him good counsel.  So, yes your kid loves you, life is black and white,  and you are the best mom in 100 years. Hope you feel better now.[/quote]
