[quote=Anonymous]You may have better examples and didn’t use them, but overnight trips and camps are not the bar for independence. Many people can’t afford that and their kids turn out fine. I think it’s more about going to the store by themselves, purchasing clothes on their own, feeding themselves, meeting school and work responsibilities without help, chores around the house, emotional growth, have a social life. And who knows why they stayed local for college. I’m ok with a kid who wants to stick around a little extra time if they are progressing towards independence. [/quote]
