Abstract

Picture this: a man in his forties unpacks his holiday suitcase, only to find an entire rack of lamb and a giant cheese pie carefully tucked in by his mother. For many adult children, like the participants in our study, the experience of receiving well-meaning but unsolicited parental care is both endearing and exasperating. And it symbolises a deeper tension in modern family dynamics. Our research sheds light on these tensions, and offers practical strategies for families to navigate these evolving dynamics.
