>>512695695Did you let your kids be the adults in your house because you were afraid of what they'd say to the social workers? I think you did.
You'll always have to decide when they can make their own decisions. Waiting too long can be far worse than letting them do so while too young, but a lot depends on what the world is like.
If I started asking you a lot of personal questions about your own value as a parent, would you speak up and claim that it's not my business or would you tell lies until I go away? That's not my game, so if you have a point to make, anytime you're ready is good. I don't really care about your claims to be a victorious parent.
In all honesty, I have a hard time imagining a parent with adult kids being on /pol/ but I'll let you ride that one out as well. I'm retired, but I know when someone is inclined to shift gears between being a good parent and then calling me a weed smoker.
In all honesty, I never married, nor did I have kids, and I do smoke some weed....and as that's legal where I live and I don't do it in public, nor in the morning when I might be leaving the house later, I don't see a problem. I prefer to think of myself as a bit "artistic"....in that I'm left-handed and the expectations for me to perform my duties for the dog pack are never going to fly. I'm not gay, and I especially don't like being treated like I'm gay, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to let myself get set up by lazy parents or anyone else who is just being an immature "cool kid".
We all have our hidden agendas. Mine is really just to put in words, the thoughts that are probably in many kids minds. You don't have to take on a shitty role because some parent wants to relive their glory days in high school.
