About the Book

Family Life: Parenting Adult children: Once a Parent Always a Parent by Stephen BlyOnce a Parent Always a Parent, How To Love & Support Your Adult Children, a family life book by Stephen Bly

You thought once your kids moved out of the house, it would be safe to get on with your life. You said to yourself, “My children are adults. They can take care of themselves, and I can do what I want, when I want.” So why do the kids still call with problems, need money, want help with advice, and even ask to move back home again after they’ve been on their own?

Welcome to the real world of parenting. Kids grow up, but they never stop being your kids. They’re just adult children. And in these ever-changing, challenging times, families need each other more than ever.  Four suggestions for adult children still at home. 1) Talk more but don’t yell. 2) Divide the tasks and expenses. 3) Plan together future goals. 4) Spend time playing together.
