6 sources of tension between adult children and parents

That is true Norah

Sometimes there is a big difference in how it is approached as well.

If I am close to someone I don't go as a guest, especially if someone has had a baby or is busy with small children. I go to be part of their lives, not a guest in it.

I'll make my own tea, help prepare and clean up after lunch, take the kids for a walk...

I've been rewarded with so much baby cuddling over the years lol

VioletSky I believe you missed when I commented young parents are busy? Too busy to have extra people "being a part of their lives"

It's my opinion, and different to yours.

No worries Norah
