According to the Guardian today, parents these days are attending job interviews with their (adult) children and attempting to negotiate their salary packages. And employers say parents will ring to say their (adult) child will not be coming to work because they're ill.
Seriously? Is there any justification for this that I may have missed? I'm trying really hard to good reason that might excuse this, but I really really can't. I assumed that once your children hit 18, that was pretty much it in terms of active parental meddling involvement in their lives, but apparently not.

To think that if you're grown up, you should act like it (and your parents should act like you are as well)?
