If I spend at least 18 years providing for my child and doing the best that I can do for them to become full functioning adults, the most respect that I can ask for is for them to respect my rules when they are in my home.
I could never for the life of me try to even fathom dictating policy to my parents. They respect my opinions on things, and we have good conversations, we don't always see eye to eye, but we RESPECT our differences. It's not my place to tell them to live their lives. They've made it for over 40 years without my "guidance" and I'm sure that they will make it another 40. Just as it's not their place to tell me what to do at 26 years old either. It's only fair.
