I just don't know what to make of it. I have no children of my own. I see other people in my family helping out their adult children a lot, so I get confused.
My stepson is responsible. He holds down a job. Pays his own bills. He just never has to break a sweat in life.
You're right though the only problem with this situation is that if my husband died tomorrow he might have difficultly.
They tell parents to teach their child to be independent but I'm just wondering has the parenting rule book changed. My stepson seems to be doing OK or maybe he will start having troubles in his 30's or 40's. I just don't know.
