When Do We Cut the Cord!

When is the right time to tell your kids they need to start being more independent?

I think in this day and age full of divorce and split families we are all so worried our kids will not like us if we do not do all the things they want. Are we really helping or just doing more harm to already dysfunctional children. We are enabling them from being functional.

So who are we really hurting? I know we can never stop being a parent but when do we stop feeling like we have to make everyone happy when the truth is they do not really care about any one but themselves.

Hope the first week of 2012 has been treating you well.
