Really, ALL of them?? I have trouble believing your sweeping generalization, PP. I think if you don't allow your kids to take initiative, they won't learn to take care of themselves and depend on others to tell them what to do as adults.[/quote]

OK, you got me.  Sometimes the 27 year old kids do move out and live on their own, 4 to an apartment, so they smoke weed without complaint from the 'rents about second-hand smoke.

I also agree with you that eventually, these un-launched adults will learn to take care of themselves.  It's bound to happen.

Our position is that too many windows slam shut, likely forever, during the 14 years that Aidan is finding himself hand-weeding the organic beets.

An 11- year doesn't have the maturity to appreciate the statistically probably repercussions from opting out of college, grad school, study abroad, externship, lab mentor, research grant, service academy etc etc etc opportunities.

OP here: You remind me of Robert DeNiro's character in Meet the Parents, but point well taken and coffee aptly spit out in response.[/quote]
