My son is 25 and plays regularly with us and I hate it. I can't stand being at the table with him because I can't stand taking his chips and seeing him disappointed. I know it is the game but last night he was sitting to my right and several times I would have normally raised the action but since he was in i didn't. I know it shouldn't affect my play and he is an adult , but it does. Probably always will.
My son is 21, and he's crafty, crazy, and fun. I'm more measured, and much tighter than he is, but crafty in my own way. That said, we usually don't end up tangling much, because we know how the other plays. He'll semi-bluff, and I'll re-raise, and he gets the point. I'll check the turn, and he won't bet, because he thinks I'm trapping him--and I probably am. He said something after our last game like "I had you roped in, but you folded!" I replied "I folded before I lost more chips because I knew what you were up to." That said, we love taking each other's chips, and we do when we can, but we're highly suspicious of each other in the game.
