    I don't think people understand what kind of bills they'll have until they actually get a place of their own. So the one looking to buy a house will be under prepared if they go straight into home ownership. Renting will make them need more time to save for a house but they'll learn a lot in the process. Also, God forbid, but if she suddenly dies, her children will be scrambling to figure out how to survive without a safety net.

    Helicopter and friend parenting is, I think, partly due to the declining birth rate. When comfy parents only have 1 or 2 children, they dote on them like they are their most cherished possession, making them into little messiahs. Contrast it with a rural family from a hundred years ago that would have 5 or 6 children, and the children were marshalled to work the land ASAP.

    If you can go to college and/or learn a high paying trade, do it ASAP! I was on my own and saving 50% of my income at 22. It’s scary working min wage (when it was $6.75) and burrowing $32,000 for trade school. (I did ultrasound) but immediately after school I was making above average 5 figures. You can grow to 6 figures in 1-5 years tbh. I never asked my parents for a penny. For 1 semester I didn’t have a car and my mom took me to college, then I bought car and paid my own insurance cuz I was saving my part time money. I was blessed&fortunate, but I also didn’t abuse it or take it for granted. You can too.

    Omg... you have the oldest 5yr children I have ever heard. All of this stops. Bank of mom is closed for business permanently. They have 2 months to get their own place or whatever they are missing. Absolutely no more than 3 months. It's time that you became an adult, mom. Because you're not an adult and nor are your kids.
    And her kids are married? Seriously? What would it take for you to say your kids can be cut off? If you cannot fund yourself you have no business getting married. Yes there are strange situations that happen. Health issues. Injuries. Etc etc etc. But healthy normal adults not willing to fund there own life and let mom pay for everything. I get some parents will pay for college or help set there kids up some. But that's a structured thing from people who can afford it. This is not that.
    My parents initially promised me around $250 a month while I was in college to help. A few months in and they had to have that tough conversation and tell me that they couldn't do it. They were filling for bankruptcy. I felt so terrible taking the little I did. Even though it really was there choice & my $250 isn't the reason they filled. But I got my butt in gear and figured it out fast. It was honestly the best parenting decision my parents probably ever made because it changed how I approached everything in a positive way. And yeah. It honestly took a couple of years to really get in a good place. But i have never once asked for money from my parents since and im in a position now where i should never need to ever again. Because of what they gave me. Self efficacy. That is millions and billions of times more valuable than a the tens of thousands of dollars you have given them. Your making a bad investment.

    Ok, this is a rant, but why can't parents be darned parents, anymore? I know this doesn't apply to every parent out there. Amongst my pier group there are all number of exceptions to what I'm about to state. But too many parents, and I mean TOO MANY parents, run around after their adult children putting plasters on wounds that could have been avoided if they'd just told their kids, "This is the way of the world, this is how you deal with it, and if you don't, you'll graze your knee or worse". And, of course, our adult children do make mistakes. Hopefully, they're small ones.
    But they have to learn the old fashioned way. Success and pain.
    I've got friends whose kids are in their 20's and buying houses and getting on with life because that was always expected of them. I've got friends whose kids are in their 20's and their still asking Mum and Dad for beer money. And mum and dad are giving them beer money!!! WTF!!!
    Give your kids a leg up, for sure. I did. But once they're on the horse, they've got to round up the cows for dairy, and if they don't, oh well, better luck next time. Life doesn't give you too many chances, if any at all. Learn that young.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if both of these adult children are sons. In my family’s culture the parents’ (especially mothers) attitude towards daughters and sons and their family’s expectations of them are usually very different. Same with a lot of my friends’ families including some of different cultures. I am not saying daughters are never coddled in my family but not as often or to the same extent. Some women in my family resent it but I have learned to be grateful. I am financially independent while my sibling is in his 30s and still on his parents’ tit. I am concerned about inheriting him and some cousins once their parents pass because they have never had to be self sufficient. My bff is also worried she will have to take care of her unemployed, addict brother once her parents pass away because they pay all of his bills. When they had an apartment together the parents paid his half of the rent although all he did was sleep all day while my friend had a job. Parents who don’t prepare their children to live independently aren’t helping them.
