(8,646 posts)I'm not being intellectually dishonest. The sentiment has been there in all these threads. The sentiment is if 'precious' doesn't follow 'the almighty parents' rules they should be turfed out and fuck'em, the spoiled brat. If that's how people feel, then they should NEVER have kids. Ever.
And short of having a psychopathic child or one with severe substance abuse problems that was threatening the stability and safety of the rest of the family, I would NEVER fucking kick them out for 'not agreeing' with their choices. Your kids are not a fucking extension of YOU and that very notion is incredibly narcissistic in itself (and then we wonder why children end up that way). "Disruptive behavior" in the form of disagreeing with your kid's choices (as an 18 year old) is never a reason for a kid to get kicked out. And if you aren't prepared to HELP your child through life instead of control them through life (my way or the highway!) then you should never have kids.
BTW, my parents were controlling narcissistic assholes but even THEY would've never kicked me out for that. And I wasn't a 'good' kid in some ways (thanks to their over the top controlling ways, I rebelled, drank 'illegally' a lot, was boy-crazy, snuck out etc. I also got straight A's, volunteered and held down a job. If my parents would've kicked me out it would've fucked me up for life worse than the damage they already did.) I think kicking out a kid that's still in school is bad parenting and has nothing to do with 'enabling'. If you can't deal with the issues that come up with your kid without kicking them out then you shouldn't be a parent. Period.
