Title: Still Needed--feels good :)
Post by pattik on May 26^th, 2006, 2:32pm

I just got a call from my very "grown-up" daughter who needed some advice from Dr. Mom. She just got 6 bee stings
on her leg (no, she's not allergic), and needed some home remedy advice. I hope the bee suffers a painful death- ;;D
Anyway, although the apron strings are slowly being cut, it sure feels good to still be needed. ;)

I agree. It is always a welcome call when my adult children call for a little fatherly advise.

I'm glad you're the kind of mom a girl can depend on in a pinch...my mom would have told me what a dummy I was getting stung six times, and I should have done this or that...I would LOVE to have a mom I can call for advise and actually get loving, sound advise.... :D

My mom pasted me up with the same thing Mike describes.

Six? Yikes!

Happy for you too mom.

Pattik, that really made me smile...

Sometimes my kids will call me and ask.."how did you make that wonderful meatloaf?" or "my baby has a fever. What do I do" or the latest......

"Can you come here and clean my apartment?"

nope.

I don't have to call my mum to get "advice"... She gives them at emails, messenger conversations, text messages... I love her and respect the things she knows, but I do wish that she would wait for me to actually ASK for advice about something before giving any. You see, I get advice relating to things I don't need it and if I don't do as she says, she is bit upset. So I am afraid to ask her, when I do need her advice/opinion about things... :(

I bet that kids will always need their parents, no matter how grown up they are. :)

It is great when they ask for your advise, because they have matured to a point where they realize that you've been right 99.999% of the time. But they also love to call and somehow work in that they're broke and could use some money.
