Guilty
I'm guilty of doing something that a lot of people talk about on here. My SO told me something last night that bothers him about my kids and I made excuses for them. We talked a little more about it this morning. He said he was just not going to bring it up anymore (cause it bothers him but not me). I thought about all the advice I've seen on here and realized how guilty I was. I told him not to just hold it in....if he can "disengage" and let it roll off his shoulders then ok. But if it really bothers him, I don't want it to cause resentment.
I'm too embarrassed to say what I let my (adult) kids get away with. In the big scheme of things, its just not a big deal to me but I do see where he's coming from.....especially since they're adults and all. And if it were someone else's kids, I'm sure it would bother me. He is right though so I plan to talk to them.
This site is a lifesaver - before this, I probably would've blown off his concerns.

This is great! This is how it
This is great! This is how it's supposed to work. You're a thinking person willing to look critically at yourself and your kids. I hope you feel good about how you're handling this.
