Getting Along (Almost) with Your Adult Children

This is a great little book, fast reading and full of helpful information regarding how to move through the maze of being a parent of adult children and their spouses. So much common sense! A great gift for friends in the same boat. How about a study guide for a group???

Real insight into the ongoing challenge of parenting...

Silly me... I thought that once my daughters turned 18, they'd start to relax and we could be friends. Maybe not in their 20's, but certainly in their 30's and beyond. I couldn't have been more wrong, as I recently found out with my mid-30's daughter. I was bereft, until I happened on this little gem of a book. Turns out the 30's are the "terrible 2's" of adult kids. If you're a parent, you'll remember how relieved you were to read what to expect with your babies. Well, this little gem of a book has had the same effect on me now. Parents never stop having to adjust to their children's developmental stages. No one said it would be easy, but this book makes it at least comprehensible, and gave me some rueful laughs in the bargain.
