I work with a frightening number of college freshmen who are back on my couch by um Thanksgiving or even uh Halloween, wondering like, how did I
dysregulate so readily?
How why did I stop going to class?
Why did I start drinking so much?
And a lot of it that has to do with never having um 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'm I I w I I would love to say it is, but um la launching I think has has changed over the past uh well, I'll I'll say the past eight years.
I I would argue that, you know, I I think a lot of us would say eight, ten years ago, if we get our kid to the eighteenth birthday, you know, and we drop them off at, you know, 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, you know, 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.
And a lot of kids do have this empathy and this.
worldview where they want to make some impact and so they may find themselves even with a degree in their hands thinking, I don't think I'm gonna make any impact with this or I don't think I'm gonna make any enough money to take care of myself with this.
So I still need help.
Mm.
You know, so um parenting is becoming uh if not a life sentence, certainly a longer sentence than I think we were led to believe when we had kids
The first place.
