Do You Get Along with Your Adult Children Well ?

flipper

I have 1 non-witness son 23 yrs. old I get along great with. He's easy to be around. Like my best friend outside of my wife. We hike together in the mountains , work together, etc. I have 2 witness daughters. I'm close to the older one 21 yrs.old - she's sweet, caring, but a bit cautious of being around me as I'm a faded witness of 5 years now. My youngest daughter 20 is very aggressive ( I think every family has one of these ) at times very sarcastic, smart alec and judgemental towards me . When I've told her I love her and try to be authentic and talk about family things - she just says, " you know dad, you need to get back to meetings. " And she won't talk about anything else ! This youngest daughter is the one who turned me in falsely to the elders 2 years ago. So- my relationships with my adult children are a mixed bag- so to speak.

What about you folks ? How are things going with your adult children ? What works for you ? Any suggestions ? Look forward to your comments ! Peace out to all, Mr. Flipper

I have a good relationship with my two sons non JW but I have three daughters that are so-so dubs that I do not have any contact with, by their choice.

STILLAJWEXELDER- Glad to hear you have a good relationship with your adult kids.

FERRET- So you have a similar situation as me. A good relationship with your non-JW children, but no relationship with the JW children - by their choice. Same here buddy. Maybe someday it will change. Hang in there

I have a great relationship with my daughter and a good one with my son.

I have a pretty good relationship with my adult children. I just wish I could tell them what I think is best for them and they'd do it already.

I get along with my Adult son, 35 well.

I got him out of the tower when he was about 12.

He got himself a good education and a career.

And is able to live life abundantly and provide for himself.

I know he appreciates it seeing where I came from. The difference.

I dont think he spends much time thinking about kingdumb halls and Jehovahs witnesses.

is there help out there

The only thing I can say about you 20yr old dougher is that she is so brain washed with the WT crap. Do not say any thing about WT when she is around. All I can say when she reaches 25 She most likely be out. Now that you are older would you buy the same car you would have at 20. Think about it.

is there help out there

Is your 20yr old living at home? If she is kick here out. Tell her you do not need us the WT will take car of you. It`s Called tuf love.

I am blessed to have great relationships with both my adult kids. Though they were raised as JW's, neither of them are in now. They both got college degrees and good jobs. They both have healthy relationships.
