It is absolutely necessary that you continue being consistant and enforcing the boundaries. Otherwise, you get coddled kids who expect to continue to be coddled in life. My xH is now living with his parents due to his 2nd M tanking and him being unable to make a living due to screwing up his professional career and bouncing through a series of low paying jobs. He is the perfect example of someone who was raised with Mama coddling and Daddy allowing it.
