A Welcome Grace with Beth Williby

AWG 12. Flipping the Script on Parenting Adults with Kathryn S


Listen Later

Today, we’re going to be flipping the script on parenting adult children.  If you are in the same season of motherhood Beth is, you too think it’s really hard to grasp that sooner rather than later, your own kids are going to start graduating, finding jobs, getting married, and even becoming parents themselves!

This is an area of motherhood that Beth is both really beginning to look forward to while simultaneously being completely scared to death of.  Then again, that’s probably how we all feel about every new phase of motherhood, isn’t it?

So, to help us prepare to navigate this new phase, Beth has called in someone who can only be described as an expert.

Topics covered include:

  • college
  • job searches
  • fostering our kids' vocations (both to marriage and the religious life)
  • being a mother-in-law
  • parenting without fear
  • and more!

Who is Kathryn Scheibmeir?
Kathryn is a Victim Services Coordinator with her local District Attorney’s Office in Texas.  Prior to doing this work, though, she was a stay-at-home mom for over 20 years.  She and her husband Peter have 9 children, 8 boys and 1 girl, six of whom are in their 20s.  She says that she started her parenting journey looking forward to the perfect Norman Rockwell moments life could bring, but has found the bawdiness and messiness of reality to be much, much better.
