By being adults like the rest of us? Being a kid is not the same as being an adult

  if you have a big daddy controlling your life for 18 years or so, then i suspect you will not be "adults like the rest of us".

  I don't think anyone equated being a kid to being an adult. Your experiences as a child shape the adult you might become. If you are used to a parental safety net always catching you or preventing you from harm, what will happen when the net is removed?

  They don't magically turn into adults the day they turn 18, you need to let them learn how to become one in small steps. They learn in part by trying things out and messing up, and they won't do that if they're constantly being watched.

  Funny thing is, last week I read an article about people hiriing "concierge service" for their children once they're in college, because their children can't function without handholding. I couldn't find the article I read but this is a similar one: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/opinion-the-ultimate-in-helicopter-parenting/ar-AA1hs3I2 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/opinion-the-ultimate-...
