[quote=FlyerInHi]I meant adult kids.
Needy, demanding kids and parents create their own problems.
We have enough issues in the world already. No need to manufacture family issues.
I was a good kid growing up. Was not demanding even with food. Ate and liked everything that was served me with certain preferences of course. But never threw tamper tantrums and picked food out of my plate.[/quote]
I rocked the boat in the family I married into twice. Once really meant nothing in the end, once was very regrettable and my wife jumped in on my side, but over with now. None of my in-laws ever rock the boat much. Yeah, there is a lot of enabling in relationships , that’s not always a bad thing, you are blending human strengths and human weaknesses of people, you are not equal in all capacities. You can learn and grow from each other too. Not always the case, but it happens. I learn things as father that help me overcome weaknesses in my person that I would have never learned any other way. I will be reincarnated in a superior form due to having been a long term husband and father.
I could see someone really teaching you a lot , B.
