[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, a mother is not perfect, but this is a classic case of a emotionally needy mother and a young adult who tries to establish boundaries and live THEIR life. Can you imagine starting college with all its challenges and receiving crazy calls/messages from your mom who's having a nervous breakdown, because they [b]cannot handle you moving on[/b]? There's nothing misogynistic about viewing adults as safe havens. It's been like this for all of human history -- remember how the elders were the wise? [/quote]

Moving on? Is the student paying their own bills?[/quote]

Exactly. Child wants to constantly criticize their parents for being too involved or this and that and for "expecting" to be treated with respect all while said parents are still paying all their bills. Child is being a jerk. I'd just not reach out and only pay the necessities.  They can get a job to pay for everything else. Children aren't entitled to parents money after 18, including college so I wouldn't be so quick to bite the hand that feeds you kid. [/quote]
