[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Young adult child"? An adult is an adult. If you handicapped your offspring and raised them to be dependent upon you and to not be able to think for themselves and make competent decisions without anyone else's input, you are not intelligent. Why would a parent do that? I raise competent men and women who are capable of handling adult responsibilities before the age of 18, because my job is done when they turn 18. My kids generally leave home at age 17, because they no longer need me for anything. My youngest will be 17 in August, and he handles all of his business without my input. He will be leaving home within the next few months, because he plans to be independently wealthy in five years, and he doesn't have time to waste. Your "young adult child" will spend his life working for someone who was raised by a mother like me. [/quote]

OP meant young adult son or daughter -- i.e., their child. You still refer to your offspring as your children even when they're grown up. You sound really mean and judgemental, PP. I'm sure that will have ramification for years to come on your adult children as they grow into middle age and beyond.[/quote]
