When the children leave the house: About the relationship with adult children and children-in-law
Helga Gürtler
It is often not so easy to let a son or daughter become self-employed: don’t you sometimes deal with the thirty-year-old like a stupid boy? Doesn’t the son sometimes behave as if he is still entitled to be mothered by you? How do you get on with the partner of the daughter or son? How much ballast from old times influences the relationship with young people? How can you throw off this ballast, improve the relationship?
Quite different than in your time?
How did you feel when you were eighteen or twenty-one and finally of age? Mature and grown up, I guess. No more reason to be patronized by the parents. Sometimes the parents seemed rather not up to date, or?
