We're not talking "old," we're talking "older," as the thread title outlines.

For me, that's mid-fifties or so; women old enough to be meddling in adult offsprings' lives. [/quote]

WTF?  I'm 53, my "offspring" haven't gotten out of middle and high school yet.  My parents were in their late 60s before I was an adult.  Where did you grow up?[/quote]

Yeah, well my aunt is 56 and has two college-age kids. So you guys aren't exactly not in different peer groups. She had her oldest at 34 or so. Not quite a hayseed child bride, sweetie. And I grew up in Bethesda. [/quote]

I'm 52 with one in college and one in HS.  College age isn't grown.  They are still dependent on you.  I also know 50 something women with twenty somethings (even 30 somethings).  Probably some of them are intrusive into their grown children's lives and others aren't.

I actually think nosy busy bodies come in all age ranges and is more of a personality thing than an age thing.  [/quote]

Nice little limited worldview you have. I put myself through college, and haven't relied on my parents financially since I was 18. Not everyone's life dynamic includes a Mom and Dad Scholarship. [/quote]

O.k. but you can't assume that most parents cut off all help to their kids the minute they turn 18.  Most do not.[/quote]
