There’s that part between 18-22 where you most likely don’t have a job, car or apartment so you need your parents to support you into proper adulthood. Either they dismiss you and leave you to do everything alone because you’re an adult now or they help make the transition easier

I feel like if they help settle those little things then it sets you up for a much better landing ito adulthood. Letting your kids transition by themselves is tricky because you think you’re helping them be independent but you’re just purposefully making things harder for them

And parents who are big on this are those “when I was 21 I already had all of this” but times are different. You didn’t need half of what I need now to be at the same standing.

Eventually we learn that purposefully letting your kids struggle to force them into independence does more harm than good. Now you’re wondering why they haven’t achieved as much as their peers but to even just sign a form they need as proof of address was too much for you.
