Age to become independent?

[Mom]

Lowering the drinking age was a mistake :yes:

Compounding it with the attitude that it is wrong to wallop your kids if they deserve it and replacing it with the notion that "time out" and "consequences" would do the trick, without actually teaching people what that meant, raised a generation of little shits that know NOTHING will happen to them if they fuck up.

I was NOT allowed to get my license until I was 16, though my brother could get his at 15! Thankfully I lived somewhere good public transport meant I could get where I needed to be, failing that I hitch hiked :shit:

Call me old fashioned if you will, my kids had to work to earn money to buy a mobile phone, they had to pay for the top ups themselves. Woe betide them if they had no credit to text Mommy to let her know where they were at!

I feel we are raising a generation of ME people. It is all about ME!!!!!!!!

Keeping these kids are home is only going to remove them from "life" for another year. I am a rural dweller, having independant kids was the "goal"

I have had to do the balancing act between wanting your daughter home by 10pm (at 15) and trusting her to keep safe. I gave her (and her siblings) some rope, thakfully they did not hang and are infact the pride of my life!

So, when independance? I am going to say 15! Teach your kids early and give them wings to fly when they are young enough to soar!!!!

[mashman]

heh, I remember being one of those kids. I took most of the rope, although I know it was grudlingly given, or I know now I should say. Hopefully I'll get it as right as you did :).

Independance. Depends on the kid, could be as low as 8. But we're not allowed to think like that any more. How late were you allowed out as a kid?

[Motu]

They will be independent free thinkers,...until they join KB - then they will be told what bike to ride,how to ride it,what clothes to wear,and if they break any of the rules will be ridiculed into submission.

[ellipsis]

...14...let them loose with a pocket knife and can opener and a one way ticket...when they come back the next day, they should be told they have two years left, if they dont get their shit together...unless you need one of them to suss your internet crap...then they have an open option, no dishes' reqd type of agreement 'til they hit 24...after that they have to do the dishes, and maybe clean their room...

[Laava]

Call me old fashioned if you will, !!!

What time is dinner Mommy?

[FJRider]

Lowering the drinking age was a mistake :yes:

"They" saw the light ... from the 1st of August (THIS year) the YOUTH drink limit reduced to ZERO ... 20 years and UNDER ... ZERO limit ... :drinkup:

It take a few months for "Real world syndrome" to kick in after leaving HOME (of the parents) but mummy and daddy will pay the bills ... eh ... !!!:bye:


I was NOT allowed to get my license until I was 16, though my brother could get his at 15! Thankfully I lived somewhere good public transport meant I could get where I needed to be, failing that I hitch hiked :shit:

Again ... from the 1st of August ... this too will be ... and BOYS are more mature than GIRLS ... eh ... !! :corn:

So ... hitch hiking wasn't mentioned by said parents ... ??? :woohoo:


Call me old fashioned if you will, my kids had to work to earn money to buy a mobile phone, they had to pay for the top ups themselves. Woe betide them if they had no credit to text Mommy to let her know where they were at!

I had to wait untill I was 35 years old ... before I could get a mobile phone ... :angry:


I feel we are raising a generation of ME people. It is all about ME!!!!!!!!

No ... it's a generation of ... if everybody ELSE has it ... (and we[I] dont ... :blink:

The Goverment MUST provide it ... :gob:

We have rights ... eh ... !!!


Keeping these kids are home is only going to remove them from "life" for another year. I am a rural dweller, having independant kids was the "goal"

Independance "How to" should be taught in schools ... :yes:

Giving them SHORT lengths of rope first is usually the key ... Even SHORTER ... or NO rope if they ... :innocent:


So, when independance? I am going to say 15! Teach your kids early and give them wings to fly when they are young enough to soar!!!!

Personally ... I believe they should be sold into slavery aged 12 ... but thats just MY opinion. Public opinion MAY differ ... :facepalm:

[Fatt Max]

All I know is, at 15 I was playing gigs in the West End of London rubbing shoulders with the likes of The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, Paul Cook and Steve Jones (ex Sex Pistols) and other mad bastards like that.

I snorted far too much whizz, drunk far too much piss and toked myself to the moon and back just about every night. I spent the last year of my school days whacked off my fucking head with a hangover most mornings and a good dose of billy up my hooter in the evenings.

My folks never really knew, although they guessed correct a few times.

By 17 the music scene in London was buzzing, shit loads of drugs, booze and drugs fucking everywhere, and I tried to take all of it.

A near fatal accident in a tube station sobered me up and 20 years hard study of Judo and Aikido from there on kept me straight.

Was that independance??? Fuck no, but it was a great laugh.

Would I encourage Mini Max to follow that lifestyle? Fuck no but he probably will and I will probably never know.

Give em the slack and the space, let them make their own mistakes and make sure they pay for those mistakes. As for what age, I think 15 - 16 would be about right but hey, who knows.

Just as long as the limo contaiing mini max, a few hookers and quality coke stops off home on its way to teh airport then I really dont give a fuck.....go forth and have it young man and fuck anyone that tries to stop you

[jazfender]

I feel we are raising a generation of ME people. It is all about ME!!!!!!!!

uh, a bit late... Gen ME are in our twenties and thirties.

I agree though, leaving home early was the best thing I've ever done.

[FJRider]

All I know is ...

At aged 16 ... I announced to my parents I was leaving home ...


My fathers reaction was to give me $5 ... for the first TWO tanks of gas for my motorbike ... on condition ... I ACTUALLY LEFT THAT DAY ... (I did)

His parting words ... Write ... dont phone (COLLECT)

Over the years ... I made mistakes ... and I dealt with them ... myself.

I remember my father giving me some advice when I was age 11 ... he told me, if I wanted anything in life ... I was to get off my arse and work for it. 'Cause NOBODY was going to GIVE it to me ...

I guess times have changed ...

[DrunkenMistake]

When I was 15 I got my learners license but didnt see the need to go further with it as I had a bus that left from down the road and went to school everyday, but my parents have always had an attitude of, if you want it, you work your nuts off for it to get it, in saying that they have helped me out for example, I am paying them off weekly for some money I borrowed off them for new tyres but they have never outright given me money for something I wanted well since I have been about 13, I didnt get much as a little kid but I got enough.
My partner and I are currently looking for a place to rent for ourselves and unfortanitly due to work circumstances my partner has lost hours and is unable to regain them, thankfully my parents have a large rumpus room out the back above the 4 car garage so we have been allowed to live here for a bit longer (not for free tho we are still paying).
So in that aspect thats how mum and dad look after me, But I have always been given some sort of independence, I lived in town untill I was about 12 and I had certain limits as to what time I had to be home and what not, cant recall what they were but we hit a finacial hard spot at that point and my nana had passed away the same time, so my grandfather was able to go halfs with mum and dad in a house out of town so from then on in, it was a bit hard to cause trouble late at night so I was pretty free to roam about after schools and so on so long as I was home before bed time which was like 10pm on a school night or something.

I dont know if any of that made me who I am as a person, but I think If my parents had attempted to control every aspect of my life I would be very bitter and spiteful and probably one of little pricks tagging someones property with my name.. but I think my parents had a good even balance and I think thats whats important.

Independence training begins at birth IMHO and there should not be an age limit to achieving anything, the only factors that should limit them are attitude, safety, competence and a clear understanding of consequence!

Age is meaningless because everyone develops differently, one size does not fit all.

Lowering the drinking age was not a mistake, the management of it was, our society completely fucked it up and blamed the poor bloody kids FFS!

The kids (minority) that did fuck up got "all" the attention and now they want to punish the good kids "again" by not even giving them the chance to show what "they" can do, based on the failures of others.

Why don't they punish the pricks that failed and let the others get on with it!

Typical state school teacher attitude, punish them that do and reward them that don't ... crime pays but only in New Zealand but that's another issue!

You kicked your kids out to fend entirely for themselves at 15?

Good on ya Mum (just cause I hate American spelling)!

Seen some recent studies that the pop culture of today develops kids into narcissists. But any kid that ends up being influenced by and drawn to pop culture need help finding individuality anyway so it's all about exposing kids to loads of different culture! :yes:

Disagree about drinking age... well I mean lowering it was bad, but it won't be fixed by raising it. It's the drinking culture which is the problem, though that is obvious. Especially by how hard it is to find pubs that sell good enough food for dinner to have while you're drinking. This is where we should be following our European counterparts more closely. Get rid of stupid women drinks (excuse the derogatory slang :bleh:) such as RTD's. Let us have wine, beer and spirits with food. The combinations that invigorate the good old tastebuds are amazing and promote strong social enjoyment. I couldn't survive without having Kirsch (cherry schnapps) after a heavy cheese fondue. That's what I get for having Swiss parents. :innocent:

Always got a good contrast with my friends from school and my girlfriends friends. My friends and I (from a private school, yeah I know...) would go around to someones place, get pissed on beer slowly through the course of the evening while playing poker, listening to Pink Floyd, talking about politics and all sorts. However if I went out with my girlfriend and her friends... they would want to listen to their Hip-Hop/Lady Gaga so they could dance raunchy while getting as pissed as possible as fast as possible. Not a good conversation to be had here except about how ugly someones clothes were...

And that pretty much sums up my generation. Sad I know.

[ducatilover]

I won't get into the debate, but, my nice wee story in short form:
Grew up in Wainuiomata, very Christian family, no TV, radio etc.
We left there at 14, I always spent my spare time exercising, running, walking, hiking/tramping, massive push bike rides and a few years spent doing Mauy Thai as a hobby.
I continued to do so..
I was top or second in all my classes.
Hated home life and the Christianity side of things, went rebelious and when I turned 16 went mad and left. Lived in a caravan for a while, got a few bikes, cars etc. Fucked up, smashed a bike and myself pretty big time during my just started building career. My older brother took me back to Mum and Dads to get back on my feet again, Nov '05 to June '06 I could barely do the walking/exercise I usually did.
Got back on my feet, deposit on bike in June '06, buggered of again.
I'm an independent chap, always have been, but when things have been fucked up my parents have been there to help.
I never had a cell phone etc brought for me, I personally prefer socks and undies (they wear out so fast!!!!!!!!)
So I guess the amount of independence or responsibility you give/force on your kids is what the problems will arise from.
Anyhoo, I went through phases "finding what I want to do"
Mechanics.
Auto electrical.
Panel beating.
Mental Health support worker and am now a Psych student looking at joining the armed forces if they'll have me.

[Urano]

well, here in italy (no, i'm actually in spain right now, but you know...) i'd say about, 45-50...
let's do 55! :niceone:


realized to be born in the wrong place when at 15 i got a job delivering newspaper to pay my cagiva cocis 50cc... :scooter:

[Laava]

Here in da fong, a lot of the young ones are independant at the age of 12. You can see them loitering in the mall or ducking behind fences with their cans of spray paint. Ah, to be young again!

100% agree.

As a parent you bring a child into this world with out asking them if they want to be here. You raise them as YOU see fit. Then you push them out into the world and say you got to stand on your own. I often wonder if the parents that are so keen to push their kids out into the world in a hurry are doing for their kids or for themselves.

Minority? well 49% is a minority I guess, but personally I think that it's sufficient to admit that the experiment was a mistake and wind back the clock a touch.

[Usarka]

Fatt Max's comment was way better than the shit I was going to write so +1.

But then again I am wasted on 'phets, booze and weed.

[Laava]

What time is dinner Mommy?

Interestingly enough someone took offence to this and abused me via red rep. Wasn't Mom, but just to clarify, you're not offended are you Mom?:innocent:

:rofl: I know you too well to take offense by a comment like that Laava, I did not even remotely think it was offensive. Mom is my name, cooking is what I do, you may or may not be tied to my apron strings, I have not checked recently :lol:

[Laava]

*tug tug*
Feel that?

[Mom]

How late were you allowed out as a kid?

I came from a very disfunctional family, headed by a woman who drank more than she should have, who was married to a bloke that hated women.

I had a 10pm curfew, regardless of what was happening. I could go to the library, by bus, week nights when it was open, I could attend band practises. If I wanted to go to the pictures (as they were called in the olden days) I could only go to the 1pm ones by myself. If I wanted to go to the 4:45 session, I had to go with my younger brother :pinch: He who used to say to me afterwards "smell my finger" :puke: I was well safe with him :yes:

I was a home alone child from age 9, after I refused to stay with the woman my mother paid to care for us after school until she got home from work, the cow locked me in a bedroom. I climbed out the window and went home. I refused to go back to her house so Mom had no choice.

It was not a happy home, so I made every attempt to not be there, I was a very active in the community person. Choir (1 night a week), ball room dancing (1 night a week), band practises, both junior and senior (2 nights out a week)library (1 night a week), evening playouts with the band (1 night a week, at least) gave me only one night at home.

Then I met a bloke that rode bikes :pinch: As far as my Mother was concerned I still had the same schedule, so I stayed out 6 nights a week, untill 10pm :yes: Was late once, she met me at the door with a wooden spoon, chased my boyfriend down the drive trying to whack him with it, then turned on me :lol:

I left home at 16 after receiving black eyes, split lips, torn ears from my father, and totally unreasonable boundaries from my Mother, all the while being reminded about my "good christian upbringing" :puke:

I did not want that for my kids. I wanted an honest relationship with them. I was a tough Mom, no doubt about that, they had rules, and they got consequences, but they loved it. I had kids with the full intention of raising responsible, contributing members of society, who would not remain dependant on me past when is appropriate.

Eldest daughter left home to attend uni at age 18. My son left home (well I turfed him out really) at 18, my baby left home at 19. I am proud of my kids and the job I did with them.

[Mom]

*tug tug*
Feel that?

:rofl: Bout time you paid a visit to your mommy Al :laugh:

Seriously though, we need to say hi, I want to show off my Millie :yes:

[ducatilover]

Come along to our ambulance run on Sun if you want? We will be at BK from 10.30 till 11 when we head out to Ngunguru to St Johns for a feed and some raffles. You don't have to bring an ambulance, you can come on your bike if you want!
edit; Did you find a new home for the BB?

[Mom]

...and toked myself to the moon and back

I went home one night, at 10pm as you do...

Absolutely wasted off my chops. I expected to go to bed and listen to my transistor (Hauraki tuned) watching my purple and gold paisley paterned walls and generally buzzing :headbang:

No, my Mom wanted company, she was pissed as a fart, watching some horror movie on TV! FFS, I had to sit there watching monsters on TV about shitting myself, and trying hard to appear "normal". Good times indeed!

Maha has a Learner and Newbie ride on tomorrow, I dont think I should skip out on that to head north somehow :lol:

:doh: just re-read that again, Sunday is Mothers Day, I am hoping to be lavished (and maybe ravished :blip:) with pressies and LOVE from my babies :yes: The ravishing from Maha for clarity :pinch:

And yes, BB does have a new home, though I still have to do the delivery run ...

Could not have gone to a better person actually, he knows her, having already lavished TLC on her, and is a Yay Maha NUT! He was looking for a project at the same time she needed a new home. i cant wait to see her when she is finished :love:

Will wait for him to out himself though :yes:

[PrincessBandit]

At 19 and 21 mine are both still at home. While it is nice to have them here (most of the time...) I do wonder sometimes quite how they'll get on once they leave the nest. They have no problem looking after themselves (well, I should blardy well hope not, at that age!!!) when we're away; but the cost of living coupled with difficulty finding full time work...

By 18 I was flatting but then times were different, jobs easier to find. I look at young 'uns facing the big wide world today and am so glad I'm not going through that stage of my life again!

Fack me that sounds like a rough ride :yes:. +1 on the tough parenting though, they ain't gonna learn anything "good" from anyone else (or at least that's highly unlikely). Sounds like you did a mighty fine job Maam :) (I remember calling the movies the pictures too, and I could smoke in there too, tsk :))... Currently I just want my 3 girls to play nicely together :yes:... my Son is already out and about doing Art at Uni... 20 this year :shit:, me have much pride in that man :yes:.

[Mom]

It is a great feeling eh?

[mashman]

It is a great feeling eh?

I've often wondered if it is Pride, or Relief. Pride in seeing that your kids have become their own selves... (and amazing that you still like each other at the end of it). But what a Relief it is to see them that way too.

[ducatilover]

You're all so old :lol::p

[unstuck]

I left home and school at 14.Sort of had to grow up fast, made a lot of fuck ups but think i came out ok. All my kids are independant and have been from an early age. Only got one at home now(16).:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo: Not long to go.

[george formby]

I confess to doing a fatt max. I was in london at 16, following the same bands he mentioned & doing similar things. Nearly killed me, nearly...

Recently we had a young woman staying with us, from Yerp, 22 yrs old going on 11. Her whole being was devoted to manipulation & consumerism. I was really taken aback at how naive she is & lacking in life skills & also how much mayhem she created by batting her eyelashes & flashing a bit of Euro cleavage to get what she wanted.

On the plus side she did not drink, smoke or do drugs, maybe that's why I did not like her....

Any hoo, my conclusion. Independence comes with the ability to stand on your own two feet & face the hard facts of life that you have to respect those close to you, fit in & take responsibility for your actions.

[ynot slow]

Have a listen to Robert and Jonnos 'wind up your wife from Weds"a guy 23 in New Plymouth is getting hitched,and pulled a prank on his apron clingon mother,who shifted next door to her son when said son and partner shifted(wtf),the prank was son had bought 1 way tickets to USA,mother went spastic,said his partner could go,but not my boy sobbing etc,thought the crew closed the prank early,mind you the silly bitch still didn't understand her son wants SPACE.

That is opposite of kids leaving me thinks.

I admire my kids going to uni at 17-18 and doing their stuff,I stayed home till married(20yr),but had no reason to go flatting as my board,terms of living etc were fine,heaps of mates went flatting to get out of the percieved totalatarism rules they thought at home,most went back to clean rooms and good food lol.Had respect for parents who are only 20yr older than me,and would happily buy them a drink at pub,and speak to their mates with respect,so gotta say I had a great home life,relative freedom etc.

[Mom]

I could not bear to be the clinging Mother to my kids. I have always told them when I feel time is right I am going to cash up all my assets and go and live on one of the Cunnard Line's ships. I will stay there untill I am broken arsed, and then I will live with each one of them in turn.

I figure they will cope with me for 3 years at best, so 3 years with one, 3 years with next, 3 years with next. Start again. I am picking by the time 6 years have passed, the first will have forgotten just how LOVELY it is to have Mommy stay :love:

Hahaha,
My parents have gone over all the funeral things with me for the 'Just encase' situation, basicly there is about $15 set aside for a couple of 65L DCC rubbish bags and a flower.
So im pretty sure I wont be getting any inheritance haha

All was good :love:

we have one of those tidy bin things, the big steal drum, but there is alot of effort behind that, you have to ring them up for them to come pick it up, and according to the police scanner, I am now isolated due to two slips either end of the peninsula road, preventing me from getting into the city, if I go the other way I go out to sea... :L
