My adult daughter told me she wants to cook her own mini thanksgiving and hang with her dog. Do whatever you want baby - I love you.

I have no rules for my adult children either. They're spread out across the country. This summer, THEY all coordinated a visit to come see us. It was glorious.

I'm now 40, and my mom is like this. And I-and my brothers- will move mountains to be home together, for holidays, and to see our amazing mother whenever possible. Good moms make kids want to see them

This has been my hardest struggle of parenthood……. learning to let go and not making everything about me

💯💯💯 The irony is, when you have this take, they often stay close. Becuse they know they are unconditionally loved and respected.

Funny how when those are your rules they still probably want to be around you every chance they get. Because you are their safe space 💗

the people in the comments disagreeing... kids with healthy attachment from a good childhood will WANT to call home in hardship and in celebration. we don't need to bind them to us if WE as parents

Wish my own mother understood this. Instead she throws guilt covertly through her Facebook posts basically reminding me that she might not be here for the next event ☹️

I feel like she hears from her adult children regularly because they love their mom that is like this. people will still gravitate towards their mothers if they were good moms.

I always tell my kids (10 and 13) that it’s not their job to make me happy. It’s my job to make me happy and provide unconditional love to them. What they give me is a gift not an expectation

My adult children live with me still so my only rule is to let me know if they are coming home at night.

I wish my mother could understand this I dread every holiday and birthday now she says “u wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for me” all I can think is I didn’t ask to be born.

No rules. But my parents requested I make a connection once a week when I left for college. Haven’t missed a week since the 90s.

My goal as a parent is to be their friend one day. That they want to come visit me, and want me to come visit them, just as they would any friend. I don't want it to feel forced, coerced, required.

I agree 100% me too! Thank you for saying this. I see parents trying to get their needs met by their kids all the time… I think it’s sad.

I can’t love this enough! I’ve spent most of my life (throughout my childhood and adulthood) being guilt tripped by family who forget the phone/door works both ways…I wont do that to my kids!
