Scenario

When parent-child relationships become too respectful and lose their warmth

My mom and I used to cook together and make a huge mess and laugh at our disasters, but since I got married she treats me like a proper adult and asks about my 'entertaining' and gives me serious cooking advice. I want my mom who would put flour in my hair back, not this polite version of our relationship.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The transition to adult respect has accidentally eliminated the playful intimacy you both actually miss.
