Kids leaving the nest...

Depends on the kid in my opinion. Our 21 y/o finally got his own place a couple months ago. We had talks about it and I told him he could stay here until I'm dead but that's not doing him any favors. He needed to get out and start making his own life instead of living our lives. My 18 y/o daughter is away at college and she's never coming back. That's just how she's built.
