You can never retire from being a parent...

I have a 25 year old son and a 23 year old daughter. They are legally adults. They both live on their own and both have finished school.
You would think I could retire as being a Dad.

You can never retire.
My daughter calls me and tells me some 33 year old friend of my mine has been IM'ing her about wanting to take her out for drinks about how he's really missed her and doesn't want to see their seven year friendship fade away.
This guy is also engaged to be married.
My daughter first doesn't even remember this guy - she was in his company once and she was a little intoxicated. She's saying he's hitting on her via IM and what should she do?
She mentioned the fact that he was engaged to him and he said, well we really haven't set a date yet so it's not that big of a deal.
Boing! Oh... there went another gray hair.
She turned the guy down politely though... but Geez-Louise. A friend of mine, albeit one almost 20 years younger than I am is hitting on my daughter.
Sighs... where's my blood pressure medicine.
Do your kids give you gray hair too? If so, how?
