Go Laurie, I 'm glad you mentioned that ridiculous assertion that at age 3
children should be independent. I know my children were not able to hold
well-paying jobs and get decent apartments  at that age, but I guess that's
because they were overdependent on me...

more times they have to confront their own misinformation.. Judy Fram
