What do you do when your grown-up child returns home and 'takes over' the house?

/

or arguing about every little thing? or will not appreciate your advice and slams his room door in your face?

Do you feel you have to stay out of his way?

or tip-toe as not to start another un-pleasant conversation?

Do you prefer not to say what you want? Do both of you avoid talking with each other?

These and more will be the subject of the meeting I am having at my home in Haifa on Wednesday 11/12/2013 at 19:00.

I am looking forward to see you, please, let me know that you are coming.
