Parenting adult children

dlhnola @dlhnola (70) • United States 3 Mar 07

Do you give unsolicited advice to your "grown- up" children or bite your tongue? What about when they ask for it? Are you honest, or do you let them figure things out for themselves?

acinej I agree! My parents are really good at not giving their opinion unless we ask. They may say something if they think it is really important, but that doesn't happen very often. On the other hand, my MIL (whom I dearly love), is very opinionated at times. She's...
