this line of thinking is insane. I completely understand wanting to be independent, but hostility toward elder's care is just bizarre. a child doesn't just evolve to be a responsible adult on their 18th birthday like a pokemon, especially now that distractions are so easy to access. how many 'adults' have you seen make bad decisions (often ignoring their parents' advice) and later come crawling back to mom's basement? personally, I've seen too many, and the parents aren't gonna shut the door to their face
