I don't mean to insult you with this, but that line is so far from the truth that it may as well be in a parallel universe. Some "parents" are so stupid that it's a miracle their kids make it to adulthood. Whether they're able to function independently is an entirely different story.
I grew up in different times with quality parents I guess. A parent who has put together a 400K fund for education is not representative of a train wreck parent. That is what my comment was addressed toward. Works in my universe!
