Mothering Adult Children

For some bizarre reason, I thought as my children grew older, there would come a point where I wouldn't worry so much. Some nebulous portal would transport me to a place where I could sit back and watch them be wonderful adults, not a worry on the horizon....

How delusional can a (more or less) sane person be???

As they have grown, I have realized that there is a very apropos cliche: Small children, small problems; big children, oy vey.

Okay, that's not really the cliche, but you know....

And they're good kids!! Imagine if they weren't!?

It doesn't help that I'm a worrier by nature. I worry about all kinds of stupidity, but my kids, I worry about them every day. Not a day passes that I don't worry about something.

I still hope that one day I can let most of it go.

Oh, please, let that day come soon....
