independence

if my children choose to live independently and are working to support themselves i will agree to let them live independently..inorder that they will know how and be able to decide for themselves..

I think before making a decision to let their son and daughters to live independently the parents must make sure that their son and daughter are mature enough and financially stable and emotionally stable.

im also asian and we have same tradition and culture..but i dont think its wise for us as parents to let go our children at the age of 18!..too young ..

I think it's wise enough. I'm also Asian, and insist myself to separate myself from my parents since I was 18, but too bad my parents still don't allow me to stay alone (but I already try to be independent by doing some jobs), and give the permit when I was 23. I also realize that if I'm being parents next time, I must give some choices to my kids, because I also feel that kids / children are not grow up because of parents, it's sounds to selfish being a parents. I also I can grow up right now not 100% percent from my parents education and moral thought, but mostly from what I saw in the social environment. And thx to my parents are fair enough as long I can responsible with my own life.
