[quote=Anonymous]Depends how you define mature and independent. I'm glad my kids are independent enough to entertain themselves. I'm glad I don't have whiny kids that require parental entertainment 24/7. I'm glad my kids are mature enough to behave in public. I'm glad they look adults in the eye and carry on a conversation (many of their peers can't/won't/don't). I'm glad that I don't have to wait on my kids hand and foot. They can make their own snacks and clean up after themselves. They know how to do laundry. They know how to mow the lawn. My kids are the ones that neighbors trust to pick up their mail, feed their pets and water the plants. It's not like DH and I have checked out. Rather, we're raising independent kids who are far better equipped to handle things themselves as opposed to whining and crying for constant adult attention and intervention. [/quote]
