There was a time when 16 year olds were expected to be completely self-sufficient.

Back in 1850 when life expectancy was 40 years old and not 77.7. Todays kids are pampered pusses. Comparing them to our ancestors is not accurate.

Interesting comment there considering your other arguments.

And yet, you decry a 16 yr old girl not behaving like a “pampered puss”? Do you want her sitting at home behaving like a “pampered puss”?

I don’t get it.
