Has your child grown up to be a responsible adult?

I don't have any kids but if I did I would hope they were. As parents, we try to do all we can to make them into responsible adults, and it doesn't always work out that way though. Sometimes it is the parents fault but others it's not. I saw a guy on TV once (a mental health expert) who said if you don't get along with your children as adults then it is your fault. I'm not sure I agree with that statement totally, maybe in some cases it is true though.

Yes i agree with you, it is the desire and dream of all parents, i am happy my sons are married, have nice high paying jobs, they take care of us, my daughter is also married has a happy family too.. Thnxs for this nice discussion. Best of luck. Happy posting, cheers. Kalyani

Hi Dominique, I fortunately can say that my children have never been any sort of trouble to me ever in life...The worst thing I can say about my son and daughter is that at one time they both smoked but never in front of me.. Now my son stopped years ago and my daughter still smokes... They are both very good menbers of the community and great responsible member of society...My daughter is married with my 2 grandsons.. She is 41 and the boys are 13 and 18 this year...SHe is a manager at an alarm company and has been there for 19 years.... My son 43, is a CSO at the Police Department...he has been there for 7 years...he was at the same job with his sister where he spent 17 years... I am very very proud of my children,,,they are great young adults
