I like and even love my kids, but they aren't living with me when they are adults.  Part of loving them is launching them.  They'll get a great education and a car and they know I'm there for them, but we set expectations in our home at a young age that we expect them to launch into an independent life after college.

I don’t see paying for a kid’s apartment — which is what this thread is about— as launching them. I’d consider doing that for a period of time (maybe grad school or something) if my kid needed it but I’d rather they were home (then they can house sit while we travel).

It’s like those people who are up in arms about kids staying on parents cell phone plans. We have a cheap family plan and I’m not going to kick my kid off and make them pay the cell co more just to prove a point, and no I’m probably not going to bill them $30 a month either just to prove a point.
