Anything that tells our kids, I don't know if you've got this, so I'm going to be a manager here.
I'm going to be the general contractor and I'll be controlling your life behind the scenes.
Uh, I'll be texting and emailing your teachers or your coaches and I will be right next to you at the job interview so that you never really feel empowered to do anything on your own.
And then when that child leaves the house at 17, 18, 19 or 20, that child might have difficulty.
I work with a frightening number of college freshmen who are back on my couch by, um,
Thanksgiving or even Halloween, wondering like, how did I dysregulate so readily?
Why did I stop going to class?
Why did I start drinking so much?
And a lot of that has to do with never having been responsible and accountable for their lives ever before in the past.
And then suddenly they're thrust into this new environment and they cannot manage it.
No, I would love to say it is.
But launching, I think, has changed over the past of, well, I'll say the past eight years.
I would argue that, you know, I think a lot of us would say eight, 10 years ago, if we get our kid to the 18th birthday, you know, and we drop them off.
at whatever college it is or whatever apartment it is, we've done our jobs.
We can wash our hands and say, hey, we just won parenting.
Brilliant.
Brilliant of us.
Now, our kids are dependent on us financially for a longer period of time.
I think it is much more difficult to manage those challenges of adolescence in a timely way between 13 and 19.
So I think that takes longer.
