Just in general, my mom has taught me how to take care of myself in the real world. im 16 and i pretty much lead my own life at this point to an extreme degree. but i still live with my mom, and she doesnt want me to go away to college. hehe

My father ignored our existence for the most part. My mother told me when I was 6 or 7 you can have anything you want, GET IT YOURSELF AND LEAVE ME ALONE. By the time I was 10 I did my own laundry. I started working as a babysitter and on a dairy farm at 12 and I have had only a ONE MONTH break from work since I was 15. I'm now in my 50's. By the time I was 15 I was required to pay for all of my own clothes as well as doctor bills. My parents refused to fill out any financial aid forms for college because they did not want me to go to college so I was ineligible for any grant, loan, scholarship, or work-study. It was survive on my own or not at all.

False - I had to learn too much on my own..........

[grandmadarcy]

My parents taught me how to live but school of hard knocks after my divorce and being a single mom at 24 taught me how to survive.

Your parents inadvertently teach you things they didn't even know, though "in the field" reality challenges all you think you know and in a crude sort of way it is survival of this fittest, secularly speaking. Improvisation sinks or saves you.
