Adolescent Independent

Some parents love their children a lot, and they try to control their children's everything. One of my friends in high school, she can not choose what she wants to purchase when she college, her mother already helps her choose a road, help her decide what she needs to learn in college, and what is her future job. What she thinks it's totally different, she had suffered enough from her parent’s control, she wanted to live away from her parents. Also, there is a word: “Momma’s Boy” which is means when the child grows up, he or she still not decided what they want to do, and they listen to their parents everything without their own personal advice. Usually, when those boys get married, their wife also have no choice but to listen to their mother-in-law. Or even worse, those children’s parents already help them choose who they can be married and where to live in the future. Parents need to lead their children to go and be independent. When the child grows, he or she is an independent person, which is not restricted from their previous family. A person needs to have independent though other than always rely on other people. From the article “The Idea of Children” shows that it is important to abolish the border between child and adult. The children cannot rely on their family forever, they need to have their own space.

Is it necessary to let the children go out and live alone after 18 years old?
