Forever? I do not think so. Since when? OMG is this really what the next generation believes? I totally completely and wholeheartedly disagree. The parent has a responsibility to care for and give their child the best they can until adulthood. After that, it is pure choice, not a requirement. Geez, this is like a scene out of Stepbrothers.

This isn't just for the adult-child's benefit, a good relationship with your child should be important, and instead of ostracizing them
A: you have more chance of influencing them to make good decisions
B: you get the benefit of a loving respectful relationship
C: if they're successful, they'll pass along the good fortune because you were a part of them gaining that success.

No, Its all about YOU - obviously. Whew?!?

Do you think that is the best course of action?> Do you think that is the mature adult way of handling a situation? By deception and dishonesty?

Hopefully their years of experience have taught them more than you over your limited time on the planet. If not, then perhaps you are right. However, I would conclude that to be the exception, not the rule.


Where do you think discipline and/or sacrifice come into this equation? You (the child) said that you were part of their success. If so, how did you contribute?
