My mom always talked about that "Fine line." The fine line between stepping in and helping your adult child and allowing them to stand for themselves, work the problem out themselves, rescue themselves. I'm not a parent, but often I am the second call. The Auntie or Big Sis who will save the day (usually financially). I have to consult with parents to find out what's going on. Should I help or are you guys in the middle of a teachable moment? Usually they are in the middle of a teachable moment.
