If you don’t want life long problems don’t threaten them with money and support. Get a therapist and work through it.

I hope you aren’t talking to your kids about soiling the nest. You need a therapist! Learn to edit.

Google it!

I’m going to type this very slowly for you, so you can understand it. That persons KNOWS what soiling the nest is. The point is that you use that knowledge to inform how you approach the situation. What you do not do (well, if you’re a competent parent) is whine at your kids “OMG STOP SOILING THE NEST!”

That's... unusual for someone to care so much about those things at that age. Assume that working post graduation will.be enlightening for them.
