Yeah, that seems a bit drastic. Of course, I don't know the whole story there. Must be really bad for the parents. I told my 2 daughters (15 and 16 YR) that they could stay with us forever, assuming they're not like those crazy entitled kids.

It just needs to be known that they should at least have somewhat of an idea of what they're going to do with their life. Or things they'd like to try to help them figure that out. It's not like I don't plan to help them, but me footing the entire bill because they don't feel like working won't happen. I always wondered why my Dad wanted me to get a job in high school even though it really wasn't worth it money wise, I don't anymore. Reactions: DIY Junky, KEW and AcuDefTechGuy

I look at it as my kids will have their own money to spend instead of asking me...not that it would stop them. They want something, they figure out a way to pay for it if I won't buy it for them. Plus, their first car will be what I call a "bumper car" that will be safe and cheap. Buying a 16 yo a nice new car just doesn't make sense to me unless it's cheap. I knew WAY too many people in high school that wrecked their cars the first year or two. Ain't happening.

I started moving out when I was 15. No dysfunction, or anything like that. Mom was just sort of poor and I wanted my own cool things so I went to work at age 15 for a concrete pouring crew digging footers, laying wire and rebar and form carpenter duties. Bought my first car and that was pretty much that. Ended up staying at older friends houses more and more until I didn't come home anymore. Bought my first real sound system when I was about 19-20. The one I have now really is the last one I will need to own. Kind of hard in a way, when you are into DIY and work yourself out of projects too soon. Caught myself at diysoundgroup last night eyeing the Fusion-15 Sentinels. . . .hard. But then I would have to build even larger subs, and a larger room to put them in. So now I look at smaller audio projects like amps. I've been thru recorded music enough to know when it has gotten as good as it audibly can. I don't aim to nitpick my way through to some goal of audio nirvana as my ears slowly fade to cancel such gains as fast as I make them.
