[quote=Anonymous]I think that the OP and the subsequent folks who agree with her also missing a big part of the analysis and that is the personalities of the kids themselves.  I have 3 kids in their teens (2 in college) and while they all have similar experiences and upbringings, they vary in terms of maturity and independence. DC1 is the most socially mature, but she is the one likely to get homesick and needs to check in daily.  DC2 is not socially mature, but she loves to travel, has a thirst for knowledge and is the most street smart. She can blend in anywhere. DC3 is the most independent on the day to day stuff and is the most comfortable in his own skin.    3 kids + same parents + same upbringing + different personalities = different levels of maturity and independence.

Sure, the family situations of kids may have an impact on this, but if a parent says that about a child, it does not automatically mean neglect or lack of involvement.  The parent may have a comparative point of view.
