[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as we're contributing to the financial support (college or otherwise), we can request certain things from our kids. Or do they automatically "deserve" everything they want on a silver platter just because we gave birth to them?[/quote] It is not about "deserving", it is about the slow process of giving your child more and more responsibility until the slowly became a mature adult. Unfortunately, we can't keep them under our 100% control and then say okay now you are 23 and 100% responsible for yourself. It is a slow, gradual process. At 18, they feel invincible. They also want independence. [/quote] Why not allow them to *earn* their independence? [/quote]
