[quote=Anonymous]Could they have invisible special needs you or their parents don't know about, OP? My oldest has high-functioning autism and my youngest has a chronic auto-immune disease. You'd never know if you were just interacting with them superficially. We declined certain experiences for them growing up, because we had doubts about their fitness, psychological or physical. Now my oldest is going to study abroad for his junior year of college. We expect each of them to become independent, but it will happen on their own timeline, not one that you have arbitrarily decided was the one and only, OP![/quote]
