Why Independence Matters
Why kicking out children after 18 years is important: Let's say you are very wealthy and have a good house and all house help. Why would children move out and work since everything is set in their home? They will just stay and spend lavishly, they will not know the pain and effort it takes to create that wealth and blunder it away.
