From the article by Richard B. Miller titled, “Who Is the Boss?” stated, “When children become adults, the relationship between parents and children changes. In healthy families, the parents no longer exercise control or expect their adult children to obey them.”
We must understand that our children are individuals that they have capacity to lead their life therefore we must respect them. They are our children but when they become adults the relationship with them must change, they are responsible of their decisions and choices.
As Richard B. Miller, stated, “In healthy, well-functioning families, there is a clear hierarchy between parents and children. Parents are the “executive committee” and the “board directors” of a family. As with any other leadership position, parents should not be harsh, domineering, or dictatorial, but they are the leaders of the family, and the children need to follow that leadership.” But when children are adults they should lead their own life.
