My kids are adults and are adulting quite well. They currently range in age from 26 to 46 years of age. Why then do I still think of them as teenagers or at the least young adults.
They are all strong and independent. Capable of making wise and smart decisions. They work hard, have goals, pay their bills and do all things in a responsible way. But yet when I think of them I just still see my kids. Do other parents feel this way about their grown offspring?
I do my best to let my kids live independent lives. I do my best to not interfere on there lives or offer unsolicited advice. I am also so proud of the humans that they are. All four are really good people. I wonder if my parents felt this way about me? I know they often worried about me. They didn't always agree with my choices in life, but they never said anything directly to me. Was it hard for them to see me as an independent women. I do know this parenting never gets easier. Just less responsibility as time passes by. The worry never stops though.
I love my kids, more than I think they will ever realize.
