Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Students and Post-teens as Renters

[lilbert (lilbert]

Boy, Fred, that borders on the hypocritical.  One of the things that 
really gets to me is adults who say, "  I don't want my kids to do what I 
did" when it comes to experimentation and new found freedoms.  "It wasn't 
as dangerous back then" is just alot of hogwash.  It was plenty 
dangerous, we just FELT invincible.  We have difficulty letting go of our 
children because we know, in hindsight, how dangerous it is to be young 
and adventurous.  That doesn't mean we should take away those freedoms 
from our children, it just means that we now should understand our 
parents more.
