That, I think, depends on whether the relationship is crippling or not. Not many things sadder than to see an adult unable to function without a parent.
We should prepare our children to face the world, not to hang desperately from the apron strings.
After all, sooner or later we’ll die and leave them without us.

Never was either one.
I think I died once when I was five. My dad told me to walk it off.

Marriage .. whatever age that entails for the individual.
Chiefjustice · 46-50, M
@Magicianzini Fair point. The thing is, once a parent, always apparent.We are always worried about them.
Magicianzini · M
@Chiefjustice I see.. but your question was asking it from the POV of the son/daughter, so I responded this way.
It's up to the son/daughter to hold that firm after marriage. No one expects much from parents. 🤣

@Magicianzini You respond to it correctly.

I dont think theres an age limit on the bond between a parent and a child. I think a life long bond is ok a long as both parties can function independently.

@NeuroticByNature " independent." Is the key word here!!

ONE MORE TIME... IF I ever get to have a daughter with full custody of her I'm HOPING she will be a "Daddies Girl" and that's why I want to be Financially Stable when I have a daughter... I will seriously treat her like a Princess and take care of her her whole life and let her live with me and NOT have to work (Don't know what I will do when I d*e) but she's NOT gonna be running around with guys or doing Dr*gs or anything illegal... It will be "Daddies Money or a boyfriend your choice" and HOPE she makes the right decision... And I Truly mean that... Soo

@OogieBoogie hmhm like 12/13?

@Chiefjustice yeah, that's a goodish number. ...just as puberty is kicking in.
Im not saying loving ones mum/dad is bad. Im saying that mummy's boys and daddy's girls are so close, that it almost undeniably affects future partner relationships.
When grown children end up deferring to their parents instead of their partners, its a dangerous path.
However, if one can hold as much love and respect for their partner as their favorite parent - its great. Good. Go for it.
But that rarely happens.
Partners can feel left out, left behind, ignored, not ever good enough.
Its not psychologically healthy.
At some point, one has to let go the concepts and ideals of childhood if they wish to form healthy adult relationships.
Be their own person.

Not a parent, but I would think that in actions about the time they are ready to leave the nest. In words then forever.
