Parents living in past

mine haven't done this, apart from the occasional joking endearment they've mastered the hardest art in parenting to let go and let their child go out into the world and make their own decisions, their own mistakes, and learn their own lessons.

that's not so say they're not supporting, far from it, but certainly they arent living in the past.
 
Used to have a mate who couldnt let go of his designated wiper... One day we walked up to knock his door and we heard "Daddy come wipe my bum" and that was the start of a legend.

Guy was like 12 or so LOL!

Dude, knees! My right one has become a real pain recently, going to have to see the doc and I'm round the corner from 30. I thought it was a joke! But years of running/cycling and motorbikes really has taken it's toll. I can't sit at my desk for more than 30 mins without stretching my legs.
 
My mum works in the local shop, whenever she introduces me to the little kids buying sweets as "my little boy" they look at her like she's a mentalist. I'm 43,6 foot and a bit and about 17 stone.
 
@groen - have you ever considered that maybe it's not your parents who are living in the past, but maybe it's you who is living in the future?
