OMG I remember I couldn’t wait to turn 18 I had my bags packed 2 weeks ahead of time, had a deposit on my apartment I was SO EXCITED!! We were able to work at 16 back in the day so when I got a job at 16 I paid my mom and dad $50.00 dollars a month for groceries ect. Most of my friends who were working had the same going on with their parents!! It was definitely a different time parents teaching* kid’s responsibility before they moved out on their own!! Myself and ALL of my friends were out the door at 18 we could not wait, no more curfews ect.

same here and SO FRIGGING TRUE!
Yes but today’s parent (especially SINGLE parent) treats their child as an adult confidant giving them 0% responsibility and 100% authority.
They are the parent’s “buddy” and no consequences nor requirements are made. Zero rules or curfews.
