Stickiness can be wonderful (like a sticky doughnut) or a curse (like 45 year old child who keeps coming back "home"😉. 😲🙄😀

Perhaps we should stick to the ways of the animals - after you move out, there is no coming back, you're on your own.

I agree. Maybe we should stick a sign on the door saying something like, "(insert name) we have moved away, good luck. Love Mum and Dad"

GBS,
Now, you can't say you don't like to see your 45 year old child. 😉

As long as they don't move in. I would be very happy to see them (as I am/was with both), but they would not be allowed to move back in with me.

Neither of my kids is 45 or even near that and neither has stuck around, moving out since they started university low these 9 and 8 years ago.

My daughters are 47 and 50 years old and, with some help from me financially and practically when they were younger, they have managed their lives on their own. They have learned from their mistakes just as I have.

That (learn from your mistakes) is a rule I have stuck to all my life and have instilled the same with my kids.

Torunn,
I don't have to explain to you as you are older than I am that life is learning experience, which never stops.

Funny, when I was 16 - 17 I knew it all, now I realize I am still learning new things. I guess that would be called growing up & maturing.

That is all very true - and we must let our children learn and mature. Often we follow the examples of our parents in many ways - I did, my children still do and my grandchildren too. I can see in my family that leading by example works - not in fast way but eventually it shows.

I think I simply must learn when to hold my tongue. This thread should have witty replies, not like mine, so back to the topic. Ice Cold/ChessPraxis expected witty posts. 🙂
