Without turning into a lunatic? Just because they are adults doesn’t stop you worrying about them but how do you stop yourself becoming overbearing and treating them like kids?
I’m struggling a lot. Two dc, eldest currently back at home due to CV and youngest never moved out. Eldest has never been any bother.
I am currently waiting for dd to come home as she forgot her keys and I have to stop myself giving her the third degree when she gets in about where she’s been etc. I panic and always think the worst. We’ve had plenty of rows in the past over the same issue and Dh says I should just let her get on with things. Dd doesn’t think she has to tell me every detail of her life and that’s true and She’s old enough and can make her own decisions.
How do you cope?
