Researchers now prefer the term "adultescence," and they're not kidding. The life stage between the late teens and late 20s is undergoing what many describe as a permanent transformation brought on by economic, educational and even biological forces, all irreversible. IRREVERSIBLE ? I've got 6000+ years of civilized history that says my son's gonna do just fine when he hits the bricks at 18.
Come by for a meal, stay for a couple months if you hit hard times, borrow some money, but you don't live here anymore.

I've got 6000+ years of civilized history that says my son's gonna do just fine when he hits the bricks at 18. Yeah sure. You must have read all these stories in the Bible how the fathers kicks out his sons out, once they reach magical 18 years age. Prodigal sons or or not.
"6000+ years" ?! "Nuclear family" came into being in the nuclear age for a reason.
