You are kidding right? We need to make it uncomfortable enough for our kids when they leave school, that they want to go out and make it on their own. If we make it too comfortable for them at home, why would they leave? I would never leave my children stranded, but to expect a regular handout? Want your kids to leave home? Stop cooking with Cheese!!!! (and charge them room and board, make them do chores, and maybe even stick to a curfew!!!) ok, maybe going a little too far with the curfew, but not for the rest of it - you get the picture!
