If they’re really lucky, they never had to work towards that perfect relationship because it’s all they’ve ever known (an anomaly, I know). After all, both parents and children alike have made it through the struggles of the terrible twos and the terrible teens, so after that everything should pretty much be rainbows and sunshine.
