Each family is different I'm sure, but never. As an adult child, my mother is still a pain in the butt. I remember my Great-grandmother still telling her what to do until she died. As a parent of adult children, never. I understand my children have their own lives. I understand that they need to make their own decisions and their own mistakes. But I will give them my 2 cents until my dying day.

The world is a difficult place. I've tried to create a loving environment so whenever they come home, whatever is going on in the world does not exist. At least for a few hours/days they are pampered and live in peace and calm.
