Parents kicking their children out of the home

[scaredyclassic]

I tend to blame the law school and the parent. My mom said I’d feel different when I was the parent but I don’t.

I am perpetually amazed at how my kids are so calm confident strong mellow Polite considerate reasonable and well-adapted, given that they come from and were raised by such a dark, neurotic dweeb.

I have a theory that parents who are genuine and honest with their kids about what’s going on have mentally healthier families than one where there is a sense of falseness. Even if the reality is bad. Better to have bitter truth than sweet bullshit.

Movie recommendation; documentary

follows four babies in first year, rural Africa, USA, japan and Mongolia. Fascinating.

Guess where the happiest baby is?

the movie is beautiful funny moving and profound, has zero dialogue.

Rural African mud hut naked baby is far and away the happiest and most humanly connected in the film.

Footage could be distorted for political purposes, but you’ll probably conclude the baby In Africa has it best. Even though they literally Have nothing but one knife some goats some wood. A pot. That’s about it.

Also the mother seems way happy.

I just saw it last night but I think I’m gonna watch it again.

[quote=AN]I’m of the mind that family who stick together and help each other will be better off than those who thinks everyone for themselves. My parents did everything they could for me (pay for my tuition, let me live at home for as long as I want, etc), and in return, now that I’m independent, I will be there to support them anytime they need/want me to. They would never have kick me out of the house and I will never put them in a home when it’s time for me to take care of my parents in return. I’m doing the same thing to my kids as my parents did to me. Just because my parents paid everything for me doesn’t make me lazy and a deadbeat. I help out around the house when I was little and start working when I was 15 and never stopped working since. But because they helped me out financially, it sure made my life a lot easier. I don’t have to worry about student loans. I can save a lot more than I would have if I have a pile of student loans to worry about. I will take that advantage my parents gave me to take it to the next level and pass on that advantage to my kids.[/quote]

AN, you have a very good memory. You are the exception in your generation, and/or a product of your culture, or both. As I remember your situation, you purchased your first home in the exact same or adjacent neighborhood that you grew up in :=]
