> I just don’t like having the burden of mixing professional and personal

Can you elaborate on this? I'm starting to do something similar with a parent, and I'd like to know what kind of burden you mean, and what your experience were like.

A lot of it really is having heated discussions or disagreements with parents about how a business should be run or a decision that needs to be made, and trying to leave that back at the workplace while maintaining the personal family relationship (taking the "colleague/employee" hat off and putting on the "child" hat).

For me, it was a matter of exposing my "professional" identity alongside my "child" identity, and a lot of the times these conflict.

That makes sense, thanks for explaining
