Well there are advantages and disadvantages. I think the advantages are far mor greater than the dis. but however one major disadvantage come in the form of bills and responsibility. A major advantage is growth, responsibilities and independence. Everyone is anxious to grow up and become an adult. It appears that adults have it all, money, cars, respect, independence, they can do whatever it is that they want. but what the child eyes don’t allow them to see is that an adult faces a lot of challenges when he or she becomes an adult. A child mostly have to worry about making the bed, picking up clothes off the floor, chores given from the parents, siblings and of course this is a headache for the child. But what if that child had to get up in the morning after going to bed really late to ensure the children are in bed, house secured and work is done. Get up fix breakfast, get ready for work, take the children to school, go to work, fight traffic, deal with sometimes a over zealous boss, irrating co workers, rude customers and a desk that the drawer doesn’t close good. Some children eat everyday not knowing that the parents may not eat because there isn’t enought for them to eat and allow the child to have a second helping. Most parents will eat only after the children are completely full (my father is the exception-he doesn’t care) my mother cared though. Now that the child is an adult. They may be faced with some but not all of the challenges. Most parents wish is to allow their children to have it BETTER than they had it even if they had it good.
