Also, aren't you once a parent always a parent?
davidw,

Crossing over:
It can be easy to slip or trip on that line.
Sometimes you must cross over to help your partner, and clean up a mess that loud and irate participants are creating. Try not to stay there, out of position, longer than necessary.

Always a parent:
There comes a time when that which seems apparent is no long apparent to them. Perhaps, then, we may become trans-parent. We should take care to maintain our presence, eventhough the rules may have been amended.

Wow! Took me a reading or two to get all that mick, but I think I got it. Back to the stuff that really matters to us. And I'm still chuckling at it. Thanks.

But!! Crossing over is not necessarily 'out of position'.
davidw,
I've had over 33 years with one partner, 29 with another, and 25 with another.
They are all good participants, but their postions vary and your partner may be one... or another. You maybe going a two-, three- or (Oh, my, I dislike this!) solo.
Trust me ! It is way to easy to find yourself out of position.
