[quote=Anonymous]Yes it is mean. I don't think it is mean to have your 18 year old move out once they have finished high school, but that isn't something you need to harp on with your 6 year old. It probably feels like a threat, even though by time he is 16 or 17, he might be completely ready to move out. There are way more effective ways to teach independence with your child. Focus on one skill at a time until he masters it and then work on the next one. You can give incentives if you want and should praise his efforts and successes. Also, it is completely contradictory to tell him that this is will always be his home but he can't live there after he turns 18. [/quote]
