so i have a question:

here’s the set-up: older daughter - J - (she’ll be 19 in a little more than two months) is home for the summer. she’s volunteering with a community theatre group, and tonight was the closing show. after the show, they broke down the set, and then headed out for a cast party. not that long ago, hubby said he was thinking of going to bed, and i said i’ll probably stay up. he said something like ‘she’s (J) a big girl, she doesn’t need her mother to wait up for her’ and then said i was turning into my mom (it was actually my dad who would wait up for me, so i mentioned that.) and then i said there’s nothing wrong with me waiting up for someone who’s expected home late.

but i got to wondering: it’s not just me that waits up for your (adult) child if they’re living at home and they’re going to be home late… is it?
