[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 689056, member: 1550"] But we've all gone over the top helping them and it didn't work. For so many of our adult children, they have to be out on their own and having it rough before they improve. But many, if not most, do get better. Would they improve with no motivation? I doubt it. Those parents can't be there forever for those adult kids. And when they are either gone or too sick to stay at home, what will happen to adults who have no skills at all? I can't see how that is being a good parent. RN, I feel all of us are the exact opposite of lazy. It is harder to let go and hope than to allow our adult kids to stay home, feel safe, and act like savages...at least those parents know where their kids are. It may not be easy, but it's mentally easier in my opinion to have them around than to send them off, praying that they grow up, not knowing where they are. [/QUOTE]
