I heard someone say “Your job as a parent is to work yourself out of a job. Teach them how to not need you. Then be their friend after that.” I ❤️this!

My younger son made a chore chart for his roommates. He said they should all be responsible for cleaning.

My mom taught me early on in my parenthood that I’m not raising children, I’m raising adults. Stuck with me. Cleaning, cooking, etc are life skills.

I never worried about one of my kids when they left. Did their own laundry since they were 12. Insane to do everything for them. Give them roots, give them wings.

It’s simple them to cook, teach them to clean (mom of 3 men). My sons call for recipes, not laundry.

THANK YOU!!!!! Thank you for saying this cause our JOB as parents is to make our children prepared for real life WITHOUT US. We will die eventually and then who’s taking care of them?
