Parents kicking their children out of the home

Why don’t you research that?[/quote]
Do you think I really need to do a research on that? How many uber rich people out there vs poor/middle/upper middle class?

[quote=JohnAlt91941]I don’t see those as the only two options, do you? To me it seems like leaving the house at 22-23 with a degree in hand or some younger age for those not attending college is ideal.[/quote]
No, those are not the two options, but reading this thread, one would think that anyone who stay at home past 18 are leechers. I personally think there is no ideal. What’s ideal for you wouldn’t be ideal for me and vice versa.

[quote=JohnAlt91941]BTW, what’s wrong with “barely getting by”. I’ve done it and would rather do that on my own than be financially dependent.[/quote] Having a degree is hardly what I call “barely getting by”. What I would consider “barely getting by” is working minimum wage, living pay check to pay check with no end in sight, have no higher education, etc.

You fail to see the difference between being kicked out and leaving by your own accord. I can’t believe parents actually would kick out their kids, but I also can’t believe parents would spoil their kids rotten either.

why kick em out at 18? cause that’s the number we agree on as adulthood? if the law changed to 14, would that be all right? it’s all kind fo arbitrary and a symptom of something else maybe….like, the world doesn’t have meaning or excitement of possibility for a lot of people. mabe they are failure sina true sense. their parents raised them in such a way that is almost the opposite of an old school tradesman who schools his son to work int he family trade and marries off his daughters. We raise kids intoa strange abyss…a marketplace…maybe get em a degree, and say, go, make your way. it may work for some, but i would imagine, statistically, it doesn’t fly for many/ sad world, maybe too many people, or too many people ahving kids for which there isn’t really a place…

I don’t fail to see the difference, and I’m not in favor of kicking out an 18 year old. But I think the 18 year old needs to be in school, working, or looking very hard for work. And that also means working a job that they may consider beneath them if that’s all that’s available.

I’m glad you feel that way about kicking out your children. I agree that the parents shouldn’t be enabling the leeching as well. But that’s just me. There are many different type of relationships, and I don’t know enough about the details to cast any judgement.
