Dear Parents,
In today’s gentle world, we often forget the rugged teachings of nature. It’s time to face a hard truth: coddling our adult children does them no favors.
In the countryside where I grew up, turning 13 years old marked a rite of passage.
Fathers built shanties for their young adults, signifying their step into independence. This was no punishment; it was an investment in their future.
The Importance of Independence
For me, that small, personal space was more than just walls and a roof. It was the birthplace of responsibility and a sanctuary for growth.
It was where I could immerse myself in books, meditate on my future, and listen to the soulful strains of reggae. It was my transition from childhood to adulthood.
Today’s Comfortable Reality
Contrast this with today’s 24-year-olds, still nestled under their parents’ blankets, whose lives are a never-ending cycle of partying and carefree living.
This lifestyle leads to a pattern of dependency, with parents finding themselves not only raising their children but also their grandchildren and, in some cases, their children’s partners.
A Call to Action
Parents, it’s time to stop pampering those who are well into their adult years. These are not babies.
They are grown individuals, some with families of their own, yet they continue to rely on the comfort of their parents’ homes.
We must give them the reality check they desperately need.
No More ‘Babaa’ and ‘Mamaa’
The umbilical cord of dependency needs to be cut. It’s time to instill the tough love that will empower them to face life’s challenges head-on.
It’s time to show them that life is not about constant support but about learning to stand on their own.
