[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Between neighbors, family friends, siblings of friends on both mine and DH's side we can think of so many examples of [b]nice, educated, well-off couples[/b] that have one, if not multiple, adult children who are complete duds. [/quote] This is the issue. It's one thing to be nice, it's another thing to fail to teach your child manners and responsibility. Often it's because the parents are too nice, and they pamper their children without imposing responsibilities on them so that they learn there is an expectation of responsibility. The majority of the failure to launch children that I've seen come from families where the parents have always done everything for the children, have not imposed any household responsibilities on the children and have not given an expectations of what they are supposed to do. So, in effect, the parents are too nice.[/quote]
