However the still do want the reasurrance of "mamas hands / only this time with the cash and the cash is the only important part forget the advice."<br /><br />There is a song ... "The times they are a changing" talks about how the parents road is getting way old and times have changed so very much, goes on to say basically parents if you can't solve the problems get out of the way. <br /><br />I have to say on the 20 something go around for me myself and I. I am taking the "get out of the way" <br />I have a very dear friend who loves this fraze<br />she tells them when they will not take advice , then it comes with zero cash and she will always tell them "good luck with all of that" in regards to the childs plan.<br /><br />It is difficult to watch a 2 year old fall and scrape his knee when learning how to walk or bump his head. When the scrapes are harder and deeper and the bumps are bigger to mend it is even tougher as a parent to sit and watch without saying a word.<br /><br />My friends who are older tell me they get to mid thirties and all of the sudden a light bulb goes on and they realize what we were trying to tell them for so very many years! Frankly I can't wait in the mean time I am in the phase where I am one of the dumbest folks in the world but who knows a light bulb is likely only 8 years away for me and then I can be if I am still here to live to tell about it I am likely to be the smartest person they know!<br /><br />Society has changed so much from the generations when a 14 year old was getting married and having their own family now we have years and years of all these tough things to live thru with our children. I will pray for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291820654038649828.post-32171767904118472122010-06-08T21:07:24.733-07:002010-06-08T21:07:24.733-07:00I have no doubts that is a very important stage in...I have no doubts that is a very important stage in their lives...you can do.
