I told my 2 daughters at 18 they get a one-way ticket to where they want to go. They’re both doing great and each gave us 2 awesome grandkids. All conservative, ones an Army veteran who married an Army vet, the other works DoD with a Marine boyfriend.
Life is hard if you make it that way. Blame parents for the weak Gen Z crowd...
We have some friends with kids the same ages as our. Currently 25-33 years old. Ours were all gone by 19 or so. All live independent lives, None are married yet. One is engaged, another might be in the not too distant future. All strong Christians and conservatives. Our friends kids all still live at home. Their oldest did live on her own for a year or so and is engaged. All are Christians and Conservatives. Two have very good jobs. One has been a perpetual student and seems to be a lifer at McDonalds.
The last time we talked, the parents were saying how expensive it is to get an apartment. I said “So? My kids earn about what yours do and they all afford them.”
I think they finally set an ultimatum to force them out. ten years too late.
