You never stop being a parent, it’s just your role that changes, adapt to the role and support your children
The older generations have always told me that. As my own kids enter adult hood, it seems to be holding true. They seem to more deliberately seek my opinion as adults, rather than my having to so actively parent, though.
Just love it. What a way to adapt. I found they can and will be more honest with you when you put down the parent card when they are adults. Hats off to you my friend.
I still see parents take a controlling roll in their adult kids lives and we wonder why 40 yr old men are still living at home with mom. I know one kid who lives at home and won’t move out cus his parents were going to take the car away. And he’s 30 yr old. So I just like us parents to reevaluate the need of teaching our children the basics that they are not taught in school and parents need to know their limits before we raise a dependent generation.
Ok..... that is what we all do, so, where are you going with this.
