I know a family like this. They have a 13 year old boy, 9 year old boy and 7 year old girl in the bed.
They are all overly attached to Mom. Parents can’t vacation because the kids have panic attacks.
The 9 year old went to sleep away camp for the first time this summer and had to be picked up after 3 days because he threatened to kill himself if he stayed. Camp said get him out of here.
I find it sad and disturbing.
After obama is done with the US Economy and meddling in world affairs, everyone will be sleeping together with family members huddled in some hovel to keep warm, these people are getting a head start.
Seriously, this is what happens when parents refuse to cut the cord. Look at the number of individuals in their 20s who cannot get along with constant help or advice from their parents. Why? because they were not tought to be self relient, some times that teaching comes with the sink or swim approach to life. I had a GF long ago who decided to move to a motel near a college campus where her son entered as a freshman because she wanted to ensure he was all right. (he was fine and his name was not Doughlas Macarthur either). Eventually her meddling led him to transfer to another college 1000 miles away, he wanted to get away! We both did!
