Is kicking children out of the house when they turn 18, or mess up, a thing of the past?

This should go well.

Yorkshire or Lancashire, can't quire tell from the video.

I think there’s more societal issues upsetting the father in that particular case. I don’t think it’s just about age. I feel like this is a subtle troll of a post.

I find it odd that there’s an unwritten rule in our culture that once you turn 18 you’re suppose to go live by yourself and find your own way. Compare this to some eastern countries where the kids are expected and encouraged to live at home until marriage. Both have their positives and negatives, but living at home till marriage does save a boatload of money.

It’s just a phase She is just trying to find herself now

In 5 years

I have my kids (one is 20 and one will be 19 on the 29th) on the 18/30 plan. When they were young I told them when they turned 18 if they weren't working or in school they had 30 days to get the hell out. Luckily my oldest has a great job and my youngest has a 4.0 GPA majoring in finance and business.

People's responses to this video are reflective of exactly what's wrong with kids today.

Girl clearly says she's a grown woman.

O.k. Go be a grown woman.

Can't have it both ways.

She gets knocked up by a jobless bloke she’s been seeing for 2 months, while living at home. Her dad seems reasonably calm, all things considered.

irrelevant since she can’t be your mom, which is what this thread is about

It's only dumb middle class Americans that deliberately handicap their own kids while upper class Americans would do anything they possibly could to push their kids ahead of the pack.

Stick together, nobody works their way from the bottom anymore, the world simply doesn't work like that.

There's enough competition in the world for your kids and lord knows there's plenty of folks praying they'll fail so they can have their opportunity. Why join them against your own kids?
