Most people follow in their parents footsteps,

And what if u considered that ur parents did not do such a good job for u as a sibling,

Do u then try to do it ur way....?
or Not.....?
Who then do u use as Ur role model....? (Tv/Magazines,etc)

Do u look after ur kids till they r self-sufficient.....?
or
Kick them out of the house, as soon as they finished school……?

e.g. Do u reason:-
My parents kicked me out of the house at 18, so my kids will be done to, the same....?
(Have u a brain anywhere, to think for urself…..?)

Let me just say that if the only misbehavior that my late husband and I had to deal with in raising our sons into adulthood I'd have to say we that did a pretty good job raising them.

Both of our sons were different individuals as small children and we had to treat them both as such.We provided them both with the necessarily tools to use in life and hoped that they chose to do what is necessary to survive in the world once they had gotten out on their own.
Both have been out on their own since they became 18.

My youngest is in the Army where he became Sgt and my oldest is going to college to enter into the medical field to help children.

Bearwoman: They both chose to venture out into the real world on their own.
I presume, they had finished schooling, and nobody told them to leave at 18.....

It is a well know fact that kids r kicked out of the house at about 18, when finished with school.....as they must now according to their parent make a life of their own, and the kids have no choice in the matter....

Bearwoman: Think about the parents who tell others that they can't wait until school starts every year so they can be rid of their little Johnny or Mary so to speak.

That should probably answer your questions.
Yes, I have come across those:-
The should never have been parents, to start with....

Bearwoman: Children aren't always raised anymore and are sometimes left to their own devises.

I was raised and I didn't just grow up.
But Bear, this should not be happening:-

Rich parents go out galivanting every day, leaving their kids in the care of a housekeeper, or when they r older, no-one. What if something happens to them, how will they react, or care for that matter....It is terrible...

Bearwoman: I think it mainly has to do with someones upbringing.
Upbringing has got some factors, but the actual person's personality traits, will be the deciding factor here....
