My dad bought my first pickup for me. A 69 Chevy C-10 for $875. I worked and bought parts and he helped me get it running. I payed him back as soon as I could for the pickup. After that he co-signed for me since I had no credit on my next couple pickups. Today at age 28 I own my own truck and trailer, paid off a trailer house and just bought 14 acres to put it on, have a awesome wife and the cutest 3 month old baby girl you ever saw. Was my dad harsh for not helping me more? Maybe so, but I'm glad I don't still live at home and never learned responsibility.

But then there is my sister, 2 kids to 2 different guys, never married, Dad bought her house, every car she has ever owned even the last one 6-8 months ago. Never amounted to anything so far. Why? Cause Daddy will buy it for her. -

Let’s not forget that it was the parents of the Millenial Generation that went out and bought tons of Participation Ribbons so that their kids wouldn’t have to feel the pain and horror of losing that they had to deal with when they were growing up.

All my kids are independent but I brought them up to understand how my business works. If I am unable to make decisions the oldest three can step in and run the business. The oldest two have their CDL and the oldest is running three different online businesses and teaching in something she is passionate about.
Kicking your kid to the curb to learn life lessons is rather ... stupid and lazy. I've already been criticized for how I brought them up, so I know I did right, I followed advice of others who did the same thing and their kids turned out better equipped than many of those who were kicked out at 18.
