Sadly, up and until a week ago that is exactly what I have always done! I have several children and my husband was a bit frustrated with the over extension of myself towards them. They are all grown with families of their own but, as a mother, I can't seem to say 'NO'! I put my life on hold for them and even go out of my way to make sure they were taken care of before myself. I did what they told me to do and although I thought better of it, at times, I still did it anyway! My husband and I recently sold our home and in the process of moving I received a wake up call that floored me! My husband has been trying for years to get me to stop over extending myself for them, but I felt obligated! Hmm ((shrug))!
Needless to say, my husband and I down sized our home and moved to an apartment. It was an eye opener, to say the least!
To make a long story short, myself and my husband moved an entire 3 bedroom home by ourselves. During the move I broke my arm because we couldn't get the help we needed to move a very large refridg.. We had the thing nearly all the way to the top of the stairs and I lost my grip. It fell forward and smashed my arm between it and the stairs! Big OUCH! I am now typing with one hand and praying that I don't go back to the way things were!
I still love my children, two boys and two girls, but I can't stop my life anymore! They are adults and as such need to learn on their own what it's like to be one!
Good Luck

Not "interfere".....but I have 3 people whose opinions I value.....so when I have a decision to make and not sure which way to go I ask them to weigh in with some advice.
Then I make up my own mind.
