[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you did this. You are supposed to tell them that they are adults now, not babies. They should have known during college that they needed to figure out how to support themselves at graduation because, again, not babies. You can “afford” it, but couldn’t you be putting that $$$ toward travel or retirement? Also, it’s like not potty training your 5 year old because it’s convenient to keep them in diapers for long car rides. Or tying their shoes in the morning for years and years, because it’s quicker to get out of the house that way. You are infantilizing them, because it feels better than watching them take a higher paying job the don’t love or having a longer commute or realizing they can’t afford to live in NYC while working in a non profit. By “helping them out,” you are stunting their personal growth.[/quote] This[/quote]
