Ooh yes Mary; having that relationship with our grown children takes some effort and at times, it is better to let them initiate it. My daughter is able to make most decisions on her own but often consults just to get our (mine and his dad's) input. When they head out to chart their own path, they tend to have an idea of how everything will pan out. However, this is not always the case.
I appreciate that much as our children have different personalities, they always find a way of consulting as and when the need arises.
