I have 2 grown up kids, a 28 yo, male, and a 23 yo, female. They are great persons, have good jobs, my wife and I are proud of them. Unfortunately, none of them likes us. The boy almost hates us, especially me, and the girl doesn't like us at all. I agree we were strict, especially when they were teens, and unfortunately at that age both got in trouble. We had to be harsh, but we did what in our opinion were the right thing to do. We hoped they'd undersdtand us when they got to adulthood, but nothing. The boy is married, will be a father in Feb, we hardly know his wife, and I guess we won't see our his son or daughter. The girl is still single, but I'm afraid she won't change either. Theu accuse me of being a very harsh man, with no feelings, who just worried about authority but didn't care about their feelings and happiness. I agree I used my authority when they lived under my roof, but I've alwyas loved them. Sad, it seems I have to accept my kids will never like, let love, us.
