“I
believe it is parents' responsibility to launch their children after college,
letting them both succeed and fail on their own. If college graduates are
funded by their parents indefinitely, they are robbed of the important life and
developmental experiences: gaining confidence in knowing they are in charge of
their lives and can support themselves, learning how to be self-reliant and
resourceful, understanding what is important to them, making compromises and
sacrifices to get a start in a field that truly interests them. When we, as
parents, make it too easy for our children, they delay stepping into full
adulthood.” - By Suzanne McFarlin.
