I just want my kids to experience adulthood. My son came home after college, then the pandemic hit, and suddenly it was three years later. In the mean time his sister graduated from college, got an adult job and her own apartment, and he was living here at the parents’ house with the little siblings still in high school. He needed to launch and I’m thrilled to see how well he’s doing and how much pride he has in his job, his own place, etc… We are certainly always available to our kids if they need us, but I think there are important developmental steps involved in supporting themselves.
