There's a lot of hype about turning 18. But are our kids really ready to cut ties with mom and dad at 18?
The email intro to this article. Yes, at 18 the second time around, i.e,. 36. Maybe. If they need a third time (54), there's a serious problem.
My thesaurus says a synonym for "sophisticated" is "worldly-wise" and mentions that world to be materially-oriented. Oh-oh. Un-biblical to the max!
I was 18 in the Viet Nam era, when most of my peers were clamoring for the vote and drinking rights. I was opposed, figuring we lacked the maturity. Perhaps I was dodging the responsibility, which is a sign of the same thing.
Done right, we will raise young adults who will try their wings gradually, but double-check with the nest before making major moves!
