I've got two millennial daughters, both took two very different routes. But at this point both are very happy, and that's all I want. Happy.

One just left a nice career to go on a new endeavor with her husband. It means a bit of a struggle but I'm proud of her. She's doing what she wants and is at peace.

The other never really figured out her lot in life, in fact she may never, but she's met a stable guy and is very content at this point of their lives

They're happy, at peace with their decisions, on a road they chose. I can't ask for anything more. I do not care about professional success, attainment. I want them to be happy, and at peace

while I absolutely agree, I also want my kids to be able to provide for themselves and their families. personally, I would feel like a failure to have to go back to my mother to ask for a cent, and while I certainly plan on supporting my kids financially for as long as possible, I will not support a leech. That helps no one. FTR, I have 2 small children, so that's only a hope to this point.
