So you’ll argue semantics here, but not on the ‘beating’ term? Ok.
If your child is still in need of ‘raising’ past 16, then you probably fucked up somewhere. I assume that like myself you are American in saying this, to which I retort with the reality that much of the world sees an adult at 16, including a number of states here. Anything past such is just legal arbitration.
But no, you shouldn’t be ‘raising’ your child past 16. Aiding them, perhaps, but not ‘raising’; by such a point, you ought to have already imparted upon them a sense of right and wrong, in addition to family values. The rest is up to them as far as making a life for themselves, and you financially aiding them from there is not ‘raising’ them.
Except I haven’t minimized anyone’s word. People keep talking about ‘beating’, ‘beating their asses’, etc, and I’m calling bullshit on them. If they don’t mean what they say, they ought to be the ones rephrasing.
School? Couldn’t very well do that at the time, could I? Thankfully, I’ve since gotten my GED and some college under my belt.
Money? Barely. Even harder to scrounge it together without taking up work that’d keep me away from the apartment.
Sleep? What sleep I did get was with them asleep. You act like I had to deal with four newborns.
You can think it’s bull or w/e; I’ve nothing to prove here except how I feel about child abuse, which has nothing to do at all with having raised these kids.
Nothing you said was any better than any other shit flung around here; do not be so pompous.
