Two extremes of maturity: Between fawning and destructive interference

Observing the relationships between generations, I often saw the same drama: when parents have no foundation of their own, they inevitably fall into one of two extremes. Some begin to fawn over their children, afraid to say a word too many and playing someone else's roles — just so as not to be lost, just so that even a drop of attention is shown to them.

Others choose the opposite, even more dangerous path — they become overly active in the life of the young family. Knowing neither the true circumstances nor what is actually happening between two hearts, they intrude with their advice, judgments and orders.
