It is a question every parent has to ask themselves as their child grows up: how much help are you willing to give them as they navigate adult life? Few moms and dads want to be stuck taking care of an overgrown baby when their kid is fully capable of independence. By the same token, though, most people still need life lessons and support from those more experienced than them even as they get older. It is a necessary part of existence.
Just like every other parenting decision out there, the amount of help that adult children can expect varies wildly depending on their family. Some are expected to leave home and fend for themselves the second they turn 18, others enjoy much the same treatment they got when they were younger. For many families, though, the reality is a mixture of these two extremes—and you can't make everybody happy with them.
