[quote=Anonymous]Why are parents so quick to cut the apron strings for a minor child? I don't get it. My DD is a senior in a big 3 school, and she still benefits from organizational help for time management. She does all the work, but if she needs help studying for a test (quizzing her, etc.) we always are there for her, and since she gets great grades and high SAT scores, etc., it's not like she could only be getting great grades because we are supervising. When these kids take tests, they are on their own, but there's nothing wrong with helping them understand the material if they need it. My DD isn't old enough to legally drink, smoke, vote or bowl on a Friday or Saturday night at Lucky Strike, and she certainly doesn't write the huge tuition checks every year, which is why we are the parents and she is still called our child. Most parents on this site would admit that they get help for their occupation, or even just housework help or yard work help, etc. It's not realistic to teach your kid that they are totally on their own. There will come a time when none of us would want our kids to treat us like that! ?[/quote]
