My daughter, aged 22, was rushed into hospital at 3.30am today and by 9.30am was in theatre having her appendix removed. I cancelled everything in my diary so I could be there when she came round (after 2pm due to problems). When do we parents decide that our children are old enough to go through life's trials without us by their sides? |

I feel much better now! My dad still zips my coat right up to the chin if I let him and I'm 25 . . . as my mum still points out to him. (But them Mum checks on me when I'm cooking to make sure nothing burns!) |

Thanks to everyone for messages of support - I keep wondering is it because I'm a control freak and don't want to hand over care of my child to others??? |

No Julia, you aren't a control freak, just a caring Mum who would go through the pain for her child if it was possible. My son is 27 and my only living child, so very precious, and I drive him nuts sometimes by fussing or worrying about him. I am dreadful if he goes on holiday or away to work, always calling on a pretext to make sure he is ok. |

Julia, hope your daughter is recovering and you are as well!!! No, we never stop caring about our children, they think we never worry about them!!! My daughter's partner has been away for the last week, i've invited her round for tea and sunday lunch (which she came round for, as long as she could bring the dog), i've reminded her to make sure she takes her medication (she is epileptic and i am the one that goes to the doctors to pick her prescription up and collect it from the chemist). I'm sure if i let her, she would collect it herself. |

Seems unanimous - NEVER! We all agree on that one. |
