For example, when it comes to money, they're independent adults once they graduate college and are in the intermediate stage now (we toss 'em a little cash now and then, but nothing major). Mr.4444 is still insisting that they mow the lawn when they're home; as long as we're feeding them and giving them a roof over their heads, and they don't complain. Incidentally, I found a local (Minnesotan) to keep Kendall's bike in storage for her over the winter! She's hitching a ride with a friend now--YAY!Mrs4444http://www.halfpastkissintime.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-50250791725418743762013-11-16T13:50:42.390-06:002013-11-16T13:50:42.390-06:00I can't say I ever had much fear of using comm...I can't say I ever had much fear of using commuter trains.

But learning that you didn't know is reassuring because it greatly reduces any reason to think you are some crazy stalker (ha ha). Doing things for your kids - hmm. Every situation is very unique but at some point they should be treated as adults. They will always be your children. Adult children vs. kids - there is a difference. That said - I will also say it's much much easier to comment on situations that I am not involved it.<br />thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-71223580257025913912013-11-16T11:17:41.894-06:002013-11-16T11:17:41.894-06:00Too funny, this video!
