Sea:
Wasn't bemoaning lack of taught responsibility. More about what we consider 'adult'.
I came into two adult kids (I was widower, no kids due to her disease). The eldest was at home till 26. Saved 30k and bought his own place and is gone. Youngest just turned 26 and is still at home doing an MFA (what he wants and he is paying).
I was gone before my 19th. I just don't see that drive to get out after high school. Maybe it is because there aren't 'real chores' and restrictive rules anymore. I know mine were doing laundry at 10 and keeping their bathroom/bedrooms, but that is a far cry from bailing and chucking hay or slopping hogs.
If I may ask, how old were yours when they left home. College doesn't count unless they paid.
