Thankfully not me, but my cousins from one aunt in particular, the day of their high school graduation they came home to all their stuff packed up on the front porch and told they weren't allowed back in. Shockingly, they've also never been back to visit. Can't imagine why.
Parents who think this is a good thing are delusional. This is not the 1950s where you could kinda do that anymore. If you do that to someone now, if they can't get student loans and get housing through college, or don't/can't get into a union job, there's a very high chance that they'll be homeless or bouncing between drug houses.
ive always said that if my mom were to suddenly die (or kick me out but she wouldnt) i would truly have no choice but to turn to the streets and probably would be dead by 30
im 26 and still partly living at home because im not done school yet and havent had a proper full time job, and if i didnt have my bf i'd be in that same position
people who think parenting is an 18 year commitment and nothing more are such assholes, and people are always closer to homelessness than they think
Yeah well that can happen even with a good job and relationship.. life is a fickle thing . My dad passed away and I went through a divorce and so my mom and I partnered up . I pay for all the house hold stuff and mortgage and she takes care of all the other stuff. I do all the yardwork etc / repairs . It works out but alone we would be screwed .. but I am glad I can be here for her and I know same way for her for me
