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.
