Many parents push away their adult children with their actions without even noticing it.
We tell you how not to ruin your relationships with adult children.
What not to do
Firstly, you shouldn’t place too much hope on your child and criticize him for not meeting your expectations.
It's his life. Yes, you have a voice, but that voice should be supportive, not judgmental.
Secondly, do not demand that your adult children devote a lot of time to you and be in touch around the clock.
There is no need to call every day, send dozens of messages, get offended if they don’t answer or don’t call back, etc.
Thirdly, you shouldn’t come to visit without an invitation.
If they don't invite you, don't force yourself on them. And especially don't come unannounced.
Earlier we talked about why parents shouldn’t tell their child “no” too often.
