[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 19 & 21 year old are on my insurance, we pay for cell phone plan (but not the phone) because it doesn't cost us anything extra, and we pay college tuition.

Outside of that they are on their own. We treat them like adults. When they live with us, they are expected to be respectful of general household hours (no loud noises or friends over during the work week), and pick up after themselves.

I don't involve myself beyond what is needed.  However, I agree that as a whole this area (DMV) definitely infantilizes young adults. It's absolutely not that way for the vast majority of the country. [/quote]

Yes it is suburbia all over the country is the same [/quote]

NP. No it’s not, my 18-25 year old nieces and nephews, who live in the Midwest, got jobs at 15, are driving as soon as they’re old enough (out of necessity) and are contributing financially to college tuition & rent. This one isn’t necessarily a sign of maturity, but the ones around 25 are getting married and buying houses.

Very different.[/quote]
