I’m so thankful my mother raised me to be independent. Some of the offspring I see these days couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper sack. I mean they need momma to pay bills, wash clothes, clean apts.,….etc., and I’m not talking about the ones still at home….I’m talking about grown kids in their 20’s. I mean what will happen to them once Mom & Dad are gone? They will be lost.
Matter of fact, I know folk in their 30’s & 40’s still depending on Momma and Daddy, and I’m not speaking of those that have fell on hard times, I’m speaking of grown folk that will NOT grow the hell up and handle their business, still in their parents pockets. It’s really sickening when folk USE they’re own parents this way.
You say what does this have to do with blended families….well it’s not specific to blended families, I think it’s something that all families, including blended ones must consider.
Are we doing all we can to ensure our children can stand on their own once we check out of here?

Update…my husband went over to my sons, his step-sons apartment and cleaned it up a few days ago – it was a hot mess……SMH.
I was like, p-l-e-a-s-e….I taught that child how to clean up, it’ll be a cold day in hell when I go clean his apartment…unless of course he is sick.
