No fr some parents shouldn’t have kids if they don’t want to take care of them. I mean that’s an essential part of having and raising another human being. IMO kids should be entitled to their parents care. Of course it gets to a point but just because they grow up doesn’t mean they’re not your child anymore. Same could be said for parents. Just because you’re an adult doesn’t make your parents not your parents. Ofc there could be differentiating factors, but in most cases, that’s how it is.
That’s the stereotype in the US that parents kick their kids out of the house at 18, and whoever lives at home after that age is a huge loser and some parents do live up to that stereotype, which imo is such an arbitrary idea. Most 18 year olds aren’t ready to leave home at the drop of a hat. At least give them a few months of being an adult before throwing them out.
For context, my girlfriend's aunt has a son who recently just turned 18 and she's decided to kick him out. From what I've been told, he's always been a well-behaved kid and even helped out with rent and bills when he was 16 and got his first job, which he shouldn't have had to. Kids who manage to get their first jobs should be saving at least half of that money for the future and maybe using the other half to treat themselves once in awhile. Now he's almost finished school but now that he's 18 for some stupid reason his mother had decided that because he's 18 he should now get his life together. The thing is, he doesn't have money for house or an apartment. Fuck he doesn't even have money to even stay at a hotel.
Of course my girlfriend and I are letting him stay at our place until he can get himself organised. He offered to pay some of our bills but instantly I shot it down. All we ask is that he cleans up after himself which he already did before. I just can't understand why parents would do this to their children. I don't know why she thinks he's have his life together, he's only 18 and still in school and hoping to continue on into university. Not only that but he's tried calling his mother to attempt to talk it out, but shes ignoring him. I wouldn't dream of doing this to my daughter disabled or not, I don't understand why some parents just despise their children. It's actually cruel.
