7. A Parenting Handbook: How to Be a Parent to Your Adult Children

The Knitty Gritty Podcast with Melissa and Susie

I’m sorry to break it to you… Melissa and Susie have not written a real, available, parenting book but we kind of wish it was! In this episode, Melissa and Susie touch on the struggles of being an empty-nester, teaching children to make good decisions, letting them fail, and the challenges of having adult children living at home.

Trust us, the personal stories alone will make you laugh right off your chair. Just ask Susie, who does just that!
In this episode, Melissa and Susie talk about:

• The struggles of asking your kids about their relationships (they don’t always want to share or worse, they overshare)
• The fact is you need to be prepared to not be happy with all of your kids’ life choices
• When is the right time to tell your kids it’s time to leave the nest (does this even exist?!)
