I think that parents should continue to finance there kids till after there 18 I think its just wrong to stop financing them once they turn 18 because they can still need help and parents are just like ell your 18 now I dont have to suport you I know ill finance my kids if they need it when they turn 18 because I want to help them suceed in life.

Well that really depends on the situation my friend. If the child at 18 still can't stand on his/her own the parents should continue in their duties as parents not only financially speaking but the guidance everything. I think all of that should not be taken away u know. Take care now. (",)

It depends I would not make the child go on there own if they didnt have the resorses to do so, my children were allowed to live at home as long as they wanted rent free but that was so they could save up enough money untill they felt they could go on there own.

That is kind of a tough one. I think it depends on if the child is in college or not and if they are married. My parents are still helping to support my 21-year-old brother but he is still in college. I think once he's out, they will be done supporting him.

Parents should continue to finance their children once they are 18 as long as they are grateful and are contributing to house hold chores/jobs or has their own job.

I think that depends on the family situastion. If the kid is in school still I feel it is best if the parents support him or her still. If they work they should contribute to the houshold. I think families should help eachother in whatever way they can, regardless of age.
