Do you have a kid over 21? If you do then this is a site you should check out. I can't imagine Jack at 21, he just turned 3, but the day is coming and I'm interested. From the mom behind Mothering21.com, check it out!
Hi Cat,
- Thanks for asking....
- The idea for the blog came from discussions with friends and acquaintances who have "children" over the age of 21. We found that after decades of hands-on parenting it was hard not be involved in our adult children's lives from the college years right through the grandparenting years.
- Sometimes it's we moms who don't want to give them wings and others
times it's our children who still want our help. For an number of
reasons, including constant contact thanks to texting, email, cell
phones, and the internet, it seems that it's really hard to cut
that umbilical cord.
Mothering21.com will take a look at a wide variety of issues, from the mundane (whose wedding is it? ) to the serious (adult children moving back home for financial reasons) and everything in between.
I edit the site with a mix of links to relevant, topical pieces as well as original content. I welcome contributions from other moms (and dads too) and hope that we can provide a place where parents can openly discuss some touchy--and touching--topics.
Best, Mary
