Dear Parents, don't push them out at 18

This is the way. And it has been a severe failing for Christian American families, it has to be remedied.

This is another of the elites ploys: leave home, go to school (debt), buy a house (debt), and do it all on your own. But if you look at the richest families in the world (Rothschild’s, Rockefeller’s, Vanderbilt’s, etc) the keep generational wealth in the family businesses.

The evil in this world convinced parents to push their kids out at 18 so that there would be more people paying rent. This video is awesome!

uhhh yeah this is still common practice in asia .. not sure why or who convinced the americans to start acting like their OWN children are guests in their homes

Dear Parents WHO OWN A BUSINESS, don't push them out at 18... You forgot something. Fixed it for you.

Amen! I’m on the first line…lol!😂 We believe in multi-generational raising of our family. It is so much better having your own support system.💚 When kids see the love of Jesus from generation to generation, there is no indoctrinating them.💚

Bring back the clan system! My parents built a house next door to my grandparents. I grew up with two sets of parents, so to speak. This was a vestige of the clan system. Very healthy. I felt blessed. Bring it back!

Kicking them out at 18 is a product of destroying the core family. They did a great job of it in the 80s and on.

My 22-year-old daughter decided to move out about four months ago into her own little apartment. Did I want her to leave? Absolutely not! But she will always have a room waiting on her whenever she decides to come back. I just wish I had the means to do like your family.

That's nice, but the kid has agency. If they won't work, if they just sit home, you absolutely have to push them out, at least by 20, or they will never learn the lessons that will enable them to succeed later. In a perfect world, with perfect kids, this works. Otherwise, nope.

So, revert to pre-industrialization ? Family farms. Thats the only way EVERY family runs a family business. No employees, because they all work for their family businesses... I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but that is what you are endorsing...?

My parents didn't kick me out-I wanted to venture out on my own. I understand this concept, but how many actually own businesses that they can incorporate their children into? Kind of unrealistic. I also ended up doing better than my parents did...

Imagine?? We Asians have been doing it literally since the beginning...

Yes But that is the way it was 100 years ago The safety net that we have in this country has destroyed the family

Maybe having children that are self sufficient and independent enough to carve their own path through life would be a good thing. Being dependent on their parents can breed timidness in them.

Ask an American about his family, he looks at his wife and child. Ask an Indian about his family, he looks at his parents, wife and child. The idea of being grateful to our parents and staying with them as a means to repay their sacrifices seems alien to the West. 🙂

Actually, I think that letting newlyweds work through a reasonable struggle to figure things out together is a good thing that helps them forge a foundational bond that will serve them the rest of their lives.

We tried but unfortunately they went to college

There's absolutely no reason that any parent should kick their child out of the house exactly at 18. Because they don't have it figured out at all and the are literally just coming into the world. Legally an adult however there is a cut off age that nobody should live with their parents past. I believe that's 24 by the time you reach that age you should partially or mostly have your shit together.

Ok so rich people talking to common folks about family business and giving houses away. You’re speaking to many people who can’t afford their own house and sure as heck don’t have a business. Talk about out of touch.

This is what our family does, started by my wife’s father. Each child is taught how to run the business profitably and have a sustainable business model to support a family and own their own home. On top of that, they will teach children the gospel of Jesus while working.

This is symmetrical to the Apprenticeship system practised by most Igbo traders in Nigeria. However, instead of building only the immediate family tree, the Igbo system absorbs the extended family members, thereby spreading wealthy and enterprise across the local community.

In my neighborhood my childhood house is now 2.2 million unless I have a money tree in my backyard it's not happening. Besides the democrats want to tax us into poverty while we support the people who don't work. But when I die they get my real-estate life insurance and cash.

This is literally how families functioned before the Industrial Revolution, and in many other countries today. Nancy Pearcy's book talks about this: "The toxic war on masculinity" Don't let the title fool you, it's mainly about the Biblical structure of community and family.

I agree with everything he says, but…. Who can afford to outright buy a home for each one of their children? Even families with businesses are just trying to survive let alone buy each of their children a house. Yes, teach them, train them in a skill and give them much love

I don't know anyone from a functional family who is being kicked out at 18. If an 18 year old has the means they often want to leave. If they don't have the means a functional family isn't going to simply change the locks and say "good luck". So who are you addressing?

Got kicked out the week I graduated (good student, not a bad kid).. Downward spiral for many years after that.

If there are handed everything most won’t appreciate the value of anything. At least that’s been my experience.

LMFAOOOOOO Like my parents could have given me a house. And didn’t kick me out because they had so many kids they couldn’t find a room for me after college

Teach them to be snowflakes. Sounds like a plan! 🙄

It’s all about undermining the family. From school which makes you identify with peers instead of parents to university where kids move out and put down roots in another town.

That would be old world Europe... yes?

first premise “our family business” the rest just falls apart without that base good parents are not “kicking” their kids out at 18. Good parents are “preparing” their children to be functioning adults capable of managing their adult life. They aren’t trying to be friends

We need a new social contract in this country where the older generations partially subsidize their children's families as they start off, and in turn those children later support their aging parents. It would allow earlier family formation with more children at younger ages.

I choose to send my sons into the wilderness and have their own adventure and be their own man
