Re: Wednesday Check In

Congratulations to Terry's DD on her first car!

By the way, if y'all REALLY want to help me feel better, you could all get together and buy ME a new car............

Re: Wednesday Check In

Thanks for the great advice!

. For example, she thinks it is a sign of serious emotional problems that all of the kids want to go to college within 100 miles of me or their father. Apparently the really healthy kids want to move as far away as possible from their parents. (like any sane person would want to leave California weather, lol). And she thinks it's wrong that I allow my adult kids to make their own decisions in life. I should be telling them what to do.....uhuh. !

SOOOOO,,, if I read this right, kids gain their independence by moving far from their folks, but then lets them dictate their lives and choices from far off?

Re: Wednesday Check In

No, no, no, silly! Healthy kids aren't close to their parents. And they move far, far away. (a cohesive family is a sick one, apparently). But no matter HOW far away they move, we still have to tell them what to do, think and feel!

NOW do you get it?
