They are not Nick's grown up children only Kelly is Nick's
just like the ending Diana comes in and says Mom and Dad are waiting for us....maybe for Kelly but Diana...Sean is your father
It would make sense that Sean is in position to receive all wesen related request. It would also make sense that Adalind may also be in the loop in helping to run the logistics of the operation.
Why it does not seem likely that Diana is talking about Nick and Adalind! Nick has never worked or wanted to work with Adalind on a case. Where it makes sense Adalind could work logistics with Sean. It does not make sense for Nick. Because Nick is not the type of person that could run an operation.
Here is another things twenty years has past. I would think Nick would be retired. Especially if Diana, Kelly and the triplets are fighting wesen. What makes more sense Nick running a wesen fighting operation or Sean running a wesen fighting operation.

The particulars about the future not making sense requires the assumption that G & K have ever worried about their stories and characters making sense. That how the characters are perceived now must be the way they’re perceived in the future assumes they age without changing and growing from their experiences.
I'm confused about Reggie Lee's comment that if continued the show would be different because the characters aren't who they were before. What was the big change in the characters that would make a continuation different?

Nick is a grimm that actively hunts and kills wesen. Sean is a royal half zauberbiest police captain who only stepped in to help when it was absolutely needed. Adalind didn't join the scoobies when they were helping Nick because she was home looking after baby Kelly. It wasn't ever stated that she didn't want to join Nick hunting/killing wesen, as a mother of a baby, her priorities were elsewhere. It was both their conscious but unspoken decision to keep Adalind separate for Kelly's sake. Nick wanted her safe at all times but he never forbid her from joining him Now Kelly is a grimm, she's actively joined the Grimm "family" business. It's probably been going on for years. Adalind always helped Nick whenever he asked her even when Kelly was a baby. If Nick can accept his grown up son exposed to danger everyday, Adalind shouldn't be an issue, she's no damsel needing to be shielded from the wesen, she's a hexenbiest for crying out loud.

For one Adalind being a mom the reason for her not being involved is a rationale by poster that have and want to she the show from the position of traditional family values. That problem is the show does not abide by any of those things.
How do we know Juliette hate to force her way into cases. Becaue Nick did not want her involved. It is the chauvinistic characteristic of the character. Adalind could have been more involved if like juliette she had insisted on being involved. But that is not Adalind. She did not insist when she worked with Sean. We know the kids had nothing to do with it because. When Adalind needed to do something she had not problem getting someone to watch them. She is just not someone to take the initiative and Nick is not one to ask. Even with Monroe and Rosalee. He ask Monroe to get involved. He hesitates to involve Rosalee. Rosalee inserts herself into the cases.

Adalind couldn't have been more involved when she was looking after a new born baby. Most of the scoobies participation involved being at the spice shop researching books hidden in the basement or mixing potions from the shop and then trekking through the streetsl/woods of Portland looking for wesen. In S5 Adalind remained mostly behind the loft doors, initially as a precaution after what happened with the royals at the end of S4. The only time she ever helped Nick that we saw was during that constellations/harvest/sacrifice case and she did it without leaving the loft. Beyond that, how else could she help Nick without strapping Kelly to her back and run around Portland trying to catch wesen? Rosalee was the one that always watched Kelly when she met with Sean, so would watch Kelly when everybody is out hunting wesen? They didn't trust bring anyone outside of their circle to the loft, she never hired babysitters except when they went on a weekend getaway where the hotel provided babysitting services. Adalind did as much as her situation permitted. Diana came back and she went back to being a "hermit" at the loft rather than go back to work, because Diana was a handful that couldn’t be trusted around normal society without risking murder and everything else. With the kids growing, the less the restrictions she imposed on herself. Nick couldn't stop her from joining him if she chose to join him, just like he couldn't stop her from going back to work even though he was apprehensive about it. One of her conditions for taking the job was the benefit of bringing Kelly to the office. Kelly and then Diana dictated Adalind's time, how she spent it more than Nick did.
It's always been Adalind's choice how involved she was with Nick's work, it's not like she's never been involved in the gritty criminal wesen activities before, this time she'll actively be on the side of good. With Kelly growing up to being a grimm (with possibly a little zauberbiest in him) Adalind would have to take a more active role in Nick's grimm life to help him as well as her son to prepare him for changes to come. Diana likely reached the age of "maturity" within five years or, giving Adalind plenty of time to rearrange her lifestyle so she is more involved with Nick.
Sean has never hunted wesen or wanted to, so I doubt it's him. And just because Adalind couldn't help much after she gave birth and was Kelly's primary caregiver during his first year of life doesn't mean she has to be in that same exact role 20 years later. She mentioned herself in 5x7 that she wished she could do more but she had the baby to care for. In season 6, she was able to do a little more.
It's totally plausible for Diana to think of Nick as her dad too. He and Adalind are still together after 20 years and she probably lived with Adalind primarily so Nick helped raised her, and made an impact on her life. She is not insulting or diminishing Sean's role as her father by doing that. Personally, I know many people that call their dad and step dads both dad with no conflict.

The problem with that theory. Out of six season we have never seen Adalind be assertive. She as always set on the side line and watched until given a task. She never interjected ideas of solutions unless called upon. So why would she change and become an active participant. That is not her personality. Adalind is a survivor.
The idea of Nick and Adalind working together is a romantic notion not supported by the show. Nick could instructor her and she would do it. But Nick is not a task master like Sean. That is why Adalind worked for Sean. He was good at giving orders.
Just like Juliette and now Eve can't help but get involved and expect to have their opinions heard. That is the problem I saw with Nick and Juliette. He had trouble with he girlfriend being domineering. Wesenrein was a good example. She found the key piece to the puzzle, Shaws sister. Yet Nick blow her off. He only listened because she insisted. Had that been Adalind she would have let it go. With Eve she was just one of the guys so he did not have a problem. That is why I see Nick and Adalind getting along. she is willing to go along and not challenge him.
Adalind went after Juliette and Nick on her own season 2.
She went to Nick with the idea of the suppression on her own. She's smart, can do spells for Nick and has, she's got a lot to offer and is willing to help. She couldn't do much after she had the baby but that shouldn't sideline her completely for 20 more years.
