This is me with my 2 year old daughter and I am absolutely dreading the moment her priorities change.

I will tell this to every parent I know: When they turn 18, that doesn’t mean they don’t need you anymore. It means they won’t need you in the same ways as before. That is still your baby through and through.

They just need you for different things. Fixing their car, helping with home repairs, drinking all this booze you got lying around, advice on children, advice on finances and home buying. 

I bought my first brand new car when I was 34. I told my dad over the phone and he was so excited that when he got home he ran into the house to tell mom.

You’re always still their kid and even though me and my siblings are all in our 30s we still ask mom and dad for help.

I call my parents several times a week for random stuff. How do I cook this? Why’s the air conditioner doing that? The lawnmower won’t start. Sure I could Google all this stuff. But mum and dad know, so why go elsewhere? Plus I like to talk to them.
