I wish I had a dollar for every crisis my daughter has had in 39 years and two husbands. Every thing is a life or death emergency and near death experiance. Her daughter is a drama queen just like her mom. I moved her 5 times to home then back to her husband on the first go-round, that was 100 miles. Wore me out "next move is on you."
With the daughters you just let them have plenty of line and a light drag.  Let the big fish jump and dance on the water, else the big fish will wear you out. Listen, say yes a lot, then do nothing, unless there are bruises, then go stop the fighting.
