I do believe we should be open and available to listen and be there anytime our children need. My little guy is only 7, but I always listen when he wants to talk to me and he knows he can always count on me. I can't imagine doing any different. In a conversation with H the other day, I let him know that S should be a bigger priority on his list. He responded by saying that it isn't realistic to always be available anytime S wants, that we are busy and entitled to our own adult time and that by me doing so is coddling him. He is 7! I don't know, I just don't agree with that to the extent that H takes it. Not sure if that is H MLC talking, or if he really believes that. If that is how H was raised, it's no wonder S and I are going through this right now!
