You sound like a great parent. Us brothers and sisters were all independent since we were 10. We grew up middle class so after I graduated from HS I never dared ask my parents for money.
It got to a point when I graduated at Stanford my Mom kept asking me why I never asked them for money, and she thought I was a drug dealer at college LOL. Had a half scholarship and worked part time jobs. If you’re 30 and you still ask mom and dad for money, you’re a pathetic loser.
I’m not that great of a dad. I’m just sat back today and watched two guys literally push two of my kids out of an airplane today at 10,000 feet and I let them.
Then another guy pushed me out. After a minute or two of freefall, the parachute inflated.
