[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an older millennial.  I love my kids and plan to fully pay for their undergrad and buy them a car at 18.  The buck stops there.  No way are they living with me as adults. None of them have special needs.  I moved out for college at 18 and only came home for Christmas breaks, lined up a job at graduation (because I chose a sensible major and did internships) and moved into an apartment.  I expect the same of my kids and NFW I am going to create a dependent relationship between us after they graduate college.  I personally view that as bad parenting, but this is just my opinion, passed down to me from my own parents.  I respect that other cultures do it differently.  I don't, however, respect adults who feel entitled to live with their parents.  [/quote]

I hope they cut you off as soon as you kick them out.[/quote]

Really? My parents sent me away for college and I never moved back home accept over some winter breaks.  I tell them all the time how grateful I am for everything they did for me, especially my expensive education.  When we go out to dinner, we insist on buying.  We host them over the holidays.  We talk on the phone a couple times a week.  My mom, sister and I take a girls' trip once a year, and I make it a point to meet up with my dad and do things he enjoys with him.  These are the parents who "kicked me out" when I was 18.  [b]The ones I didn't feel entitled to mooch off of after I graduated college. [/b] [/quote]

Like I've said repeatedly, I didn't want to [i]mooch[/i] off my parents for as I did. But my prospective employers didn't seem to think my parents deserved a break from me as much as I did. You're lucky you got a stable job right out of college. I, on the other hand, repeatedly applied for such jobs, but because of my personality(which I don't have control over by the way) I was deemed no fun to work with.[/quote]
