[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not pay bills for adults. They pay their own bills. At 18, my kids would be roasted by their siblings if they needed "mommy" to help them. Not my job to provide for adults. I have my own life to live. I raise my kids to be able to hit the ground running at 18, and it is also their responsibility to pay for college, should they decide to go. Their lives, their decisions. Good luck, OP. [/quote]

NP but no it isn’t. [/quote]

Whether you like it or not, you are putting your kids at a significant disadvantage from kids with parental support. Hope your kid enjoys working for Orkin![/quote]

It's not terrible nor is it dooming your child; though why you think working as an exterminator is somehow a negative is an interesting perspective and makes me think you need to examine your own classist biases.

I'm a pediatrician in my mid 30's who had minimal financial support after high school. There are plenty of ways to pay for college that aren't mommy or daddy's bank account. And it's not negligent parenting to expect your adult children to be financially independent.

DCUM, per usual, has a very skewed view of reality. [/quote]
