And your relationship is different because of it, but that doesn’t mean old patterns—particularly negative ones—should be part of the new living arrangement. You may not be “in charge” anymore, but so long as they’re living in your home, work toward a better relationship with honest, open communication. How do you avoid enabling adult children, particularly when your adult child is demanding and needy (and perhaps has been that way throughout childhood)? Begin with setting boundaries with adult children and keep the goal of independence in mind. Work together to establish expectations.

Referring to the parable told by Jesus in the New Testament, this Kipling poem appears in one of the chapters of Kipling’s novel Kim: Talk to your son honestly about your feelings. Try to refrain from using judgmental or accusatory language, which will make him defensive and less likely to consider what you're saying. You want this to be a connecting conversation, not one that makes the distance between you even greater.

When I have asked him if he has talked to her it’s always an excuse and then sometimes I don’t think he does tell her because the things I have complained about it is still happening. I don’t know I guess, I am here because I am to my breaking point and I feel like having the same conversation just isn’t sufficing. I truly feel like I am going insane. This is most of my stress. I feel like I am being taken advantage of. I have done plenty for her an him but I just feel like it is a take and take some more kind of environment.
