I can understand not wanting to be overbearing, but I also don't want to have a superficial relationship in which we only talk about the weather and not personal things. Whats the limit?

I think a good communication is the key. As long as the communication is good there's no problem. I hate my mom telling me what to do ( didn't grew up with her and I don't see her often) but with my aunt (I grew up with her) is different. If she tell me something for my own good I can accepted but coming from my mom is not the same. As I said before "Communication is the key"

Every relationship is different; I talked to my parents about absolutely EVERYTHING. You will just have to "test the waters" and be very attentive to the other person's reaction to your question. As a general rule of thumb, I would not think most kids would be comfortable talking in depth regarding sex or finances.

I think it depends on how close you are with your children. I think a good rule of thumb is to give advice only when its asked for. If you are close with them then most of the time they will volunteer most information you would want to know without you asking for it. It always a good idea to remind your children that you are there for them no matter what and will listen without comment if that's what they want. Chances are if you give them their space they will be more likely to include you in things.

You can ask the same kinds of questions you would ask a good friend. If you have a good relationship with your grown kids, they will come to you with any problems or ask for advice.
However, if I saw or suspected any abuse, cheating, drug or alcohol abuse or bad parenting, I would speak up.

Your adult child will tell you what they feel they want to talk about. If you have a good relationship, you should have nothing to worry about.

Finances! I think thats a personal topic.
Just remember that you are your baby's mother, but they are married now. But I don't see how your relationship would change! My relationship with my gramma hasn't changed! It's actually gotten better! But she never pries! I always go to her!

theres a difference between what is none of your business and what you talk about. when you get down to it - once they are an adult/married, NONE of their life is your business.
its whatever they choose to talk to you about. im an adult and when i talk to my parents im open about just about everything. we carry on normal conversations like anyone else - but there are parts for me that are none of their business. but thats ME. if you're concerned about your own kids, talk to them and ask.
if that'll make you uncomfortable, then just talk to them as usual. if you're broaching a topic that they consider none of your business, you'll know soon enough. :)

Anything sexual or involving the disciplining of the children. Anything else should be normal typical conversation.

Most parts are none of your business. Whatever they share with you is. And leave it at that.
