My granddaughter, Alycia, and her mother were having a discussion about being a child and Alycia told her mother that "you are a child" to which her mother replied "no, I am an adult", at this point Alycia said that since she had a mommy that made her a child (my daughter could not argue at that point, since she indeed has a mommy). That started me thinking, when do we stop thinking of our kids as children? I am 46 and my mom still thinks of me as a child, my kids are well over the age of 21 and I still think of them as children. Is there a point when our parents ever think of us as adults? I am aware that my kids are grown and on their own in the big, bad world, but I still worry and every time I hear a siren I call to make sure that they are OK (of course they laugh at me for this). I know that my kids are beautiful, intellegent, caring and strong young women, but to me they will always be my children. So I guess the answer to the question is "as long as you have a mommy you will always be a child".
Hope you have a blessed day and a better tomorrow.
