Sure. When I say "NO", I just mean "NO" and they know that.

However, all the years you have invested in raising them will pay off because you start to see the choices they make without you are good ones!
It changes, but it stays the same.

It really hit home when my 17 year old daughter started creating scholarship essays on her own, and I realized she didn't need my help with them.
She's much better than me at it!
