We know it’s coming (and sometimes, when things are really rough, we look forward to it!). But when your kids are on their way to being functional adults, what does it mean for your identity as mom? The Last Parenting Book You’ll Ever Read is your guide to the last stage of « active » parenting, as your teenagers prepare to step into the world and you prepare to step back into yourself.
