    You never stop worrying but please don't let the worrying ruin/interfere with your grown-up son/daughter's life.

    And it gets more so with Grandchildren.

    I completely agree with this.

    I don't think parents EVER stop worrying. I've (temporarilly, I hope!!) moved back 'home' with my mum after my engagement ended. On Saturday she dropped me off at my 2nd job and then called out after me "Do you have enough money for your lunch?"....I'm 32 and all the people nearby (including the store manager!) looked at me as I went bright scarlet!!!! :o

    I love her really! :)

    He trusts you with his car keys? Don't think mine would ...

    He'd left the spare here. As it happens he'd also left the car unlocked too. Silly boy.

    I don't think I'd have been able to resist moving it! :rotfl:
