>>712618221The fact is that parents don't discipline their children. "Raising your own kids" means you keep this distanced relationship with them where you just give them food, shelter, force them to go to school, give THINGS to keep them happy, and the superficial "parental love." You're grooming them to just be happy enough living with you that they don't try to seek out anything better. You aren't preparing them for life, you don't give them real love, you aren't empowering them to be the best they can be. I think the whole "being married to your parents until you turn 18" thing needs to go away.
