What part of partially responsible did you not get from my original post?

Privilege, my ass. I didnt say parents should monitor their child 24/7 and control every aspect of their life. Stop making excuses for bad parents who do the exact opposite instead.

What part of "partially" always being responsible is a misconception.

Multiple factors beyond a parents control goes into the psychological makeup of a human being.

False. These are especially hard times financially even if she wanted to leave right now. Besides, people hafta take time to build up money and credit and stuff before trying to find a place to rent. She'll go when she feels financially confident enough to strike out on her own and is always welcome back if she is in need of help.

I know exactly how it works. You just don't like someone not agreeing with your misconception.

I don't agree with you that parents are always partially responsible for the way a child turns out. Plain and simple.

Multiple factors beyond a parents control goes into the psychological makeup of a human being.

Good parents produce bad children all the time.
Bad parents also produce great children all the time.

There is no magic formula in producing good children, and it's a massive misconception to assume how a child turned out had anything to do with the parent.

It appears you don't know what it means.

Objective can also take the adverb form, objectively. This is used to describe an action that is not influenced by personal feelings or opinions.

Making the broad claim and assumption that all parents are partially responsible for how a child turns out is you speaking from a place of your personal feelings. In otherwords, not an objective statement to make.

You know youre doing the exact same broad strokes.

Why dont you name a situation that is completely out of the parents hands, that would fully absolve them of any responsibility for how their kid was affected?

In just about every case, an absentee parent would be considered a bad one. This isnt to say that they would be completely at fault, but if something couldve been prevented by the parents actually involving themselves, they are objectively responsible for the result.

That's one thing but a parent should have a relationship with their child such that the child communicates the kind of people they're hanging out with and the parents should be able to pick up on if said people are negatively influencing their child and be able to steer their child (not by force/banning them from seeing said people, necessarily) away from associating with them (as often or even at all).

It's called parenting and if you can do it effectively, you can avoid things. Now, obviously accidents happen or one time scenarios can lead to a loss of control, like getting hooked on hard drugs, but in ideal scenarios, parents should be able to wield a lot of influence and trust.

My kids will move out when they are financially ready to live on their own, or with a roommate, or with their partner.

I was 23 when I moved out, and that was over 20 years ago when the world was more financially stable, but I wasn't. My parents didn't pressure me nor my sister at all to move out at all until we felt we were ready, and I have no plans on pressuring my kids either.

This.

Getting into bad cliques is out of their control, yes. *Staying* in that clique without the parents doing anything about it or even knowing about it is absolutely the parents fault.

Plenty of parents do something about it. The simple fact of the matter is you can't force a child to conform into a model citizen.

Some people are rotten eggs like it or not. You can parent, school, guide, mentor, nourish, hand hold, and come to their rescue as much as you want. The fact remains that this child is still a human being. There isn't predetermined way for a child to turn out. All circumstances are just not created equally.

Plenty of people come from loving families with great parents, but the child still turns out horrible. Why because a bad child isn't always because of bad parenting.

This ridiculous idea some here are pushing that you can magically change a child who doesn't want to change and determined not to is almost comical.

I don't plan on having children. At least, I don't feel a need to do so any time soon.

I lived with my parents after grad school for three years. I lived with them every summer in my 8 years of college too. I would offer the same chances to any children I had.

@blackrider76
That's not a rebuttal to what I said.

My post includes the ridiculous idea that all parent are partially responsible.

The simple fact of the matter you cant magically change a child who doesn't want to change and determined not to. Children are is still human beings with their own personalities.

One can just as easily be a terrible parent who's only involvement in their childs life is living under the same roof. Yet child 1 turned out 100x better than their parents, child 2 is just as bad if not worse the parents, and child 3 slightly worse than child 1 but still loads better than the parents.

So this idea of the parent always being responsible or partially responsible is ridiculous logic.

What applies to one does not apply to all. There are so many factors that go into how humans turn out and its not always partially thanks to the parents involvement or lack thereof.

For fucks sake.

The inverse of parents are partially responsible for how their child turns out is not sometimes children turn out better than their bad parents or vice-versa.

The inverse is parents are never responsible for how their child turns out.

You are not disproving my statement by saying the result is different from the upbringing. If anything, youre proving it from another angle. The child turning out different from how the parents raised them is still ultimately their responsibility.

That isn't what I said, so my point still stands.

I didn't propose an inverse as my point. In fact, I said, "this idea of the parent always being responsible or partially responsible is ridiculous logic.

What applies to one does not apply to all. There are so many factors that go into how humans turn out and its not always partially thanks to the parents involvement or lack thereof."

Meaning sometimes some parents can be responsible, while some can have children who turn out a way beyond their control. You can have parents fully responsible, partially responsible and not responsible at all. There is no magic formula that applies to all parent child relationships.

You are inserting a mythical formula that guarantees partial or complete responsibility of how a child turns out when in reality that's just not true. A child is still a human being that has a multitude of factors that determine how this human being will turn out. Factors that even with a parents influence and discipline that can go completely ignored if the personality of the child is unwilling to change and is determined to be a certain way. You cannot force a child to be a certain way, they are still human regardless if they are your child. You can try to guide them down a right path but you can't force them to be receptive.

It is untrue that how a child turns out is always the partial or full results of how a parent raised their child.

If a child turns out bad and the parents arent a complete POS, theyll rightly feel responsible in some way, even if it involved factors beyond their control. If a child turns out good despite bad parents, the child likely recognized their parents bad influences and sought to avoid that themselves. A negative influence still means partial responsibility.

I'm of the opinion that a parent should always try to guide their child down the right path.

That being said, it is absolutely not a fact that how a child turns out is fully or partially the result of the parents. There are a multitude of factors that go into the personality of a human being.

Provide an actual fact with actual evidence. Not your feelings guiding you, actual facts that shows a parent is partially or fully responsible for how a child turns out, always.

Your initial claim is not a fact and you have yet to prove its a fact. Your opinions of FEELING guilty is not a fact. You feeling someone's guilty doesn't mean they are factually guilty. A person feeling guilty about something doesn't mean they are actually guilty.

Plenty of my posts explains why your claim is not a fact, you just don't like it.

Youre the one posting a bunch of irrelevant facts to try and prove a point.

Yes, kids can turn out different from how their parents raised them. Yet you still havent disproved how that is still the parents responsibility. If a kid commits a crime, the parents take the heat. Because kids are considered not mature enough to take responsibility for their own actions. That is an indisputable fact, regardless of any factors you keep trying to bring up to distract from the main point.

Or do you have something nuanced to say about that as well?

If your child turned out to be such a dangerous individual, that would have been partially your fault regardless of them turning 18.

Kicking them out after that fact does not absolve you of being a shitty parent.

Burden of proof is on you, not me.
You made the initial claim a parent is partially or fully responsible for how a child turns out. You made the claim that a parent will always have some influence on how a child turns out.

You made this claim as if it's a fact. Prove it. All you have done is provide your feelings. You have provided no indisputable facts, just your feelings.

Again showing you don't understand what facts and feelings are.

The law is not a testament to what actual facts are.

Do you honestly need a history lesson to many existing laws not founded in science? I hope you arent serious with this, "the law says it, so its totally a fact" rebuttal. That's not even touching laws from eons ago. A law existing is not proof the law is founded on facts.

Plenty of laws exist based in pure feelings. Legality of something is entirely separate.

I don't see why not under certain circumstances. Like a user said earlier, no amount of parenting beats free will. You can't force a child to learn if they don't want to. You can't force a child to take in a positive influence if they don't want to. You can't stop a child from being rebellious if they don't want to.

I know you feel like children are these innocent little holy creatures that you can change or partially influence, but that is simply not true for all children. Children are still just young humans beings who have the free will to choose what they want to be.

That isn't to say a parent shouldn't try, ofc all parents should try. But to claim parenting partially will always override free will is just not true.

I'm never having kids. Too late in life and I don't wanna be the old dad at their graduation.

If I did, kicking them out would depend on how they behave. If they're disrespectful, trash the place, and refuse to help out around the house, sure. Otherwise they could stay until they're ready.

My parents didn't do that to me. I stayed in my bedroom playing games pretty much. But they did give me things to do and made me pay the electric bill. I was able to save up enough for a down payment on a house and fully furnish it with some nice stuff.

You keep posting that and it's irrelevant to keep posting. I dont care about your feelings on the subject and like another user said, those are indeed your feelings. Nor does the law which you cited earlier is the standard for what facts are. Posting about the law only matters to the legality of the thing in question. You are well aware of a shit ton of laws not based in facts and science. Plenty of laws are based on arbitrary feelings as well.

Feelings that are based on arbitrary values. Even the premises of the topic question is arbitrary. 18 is an arbitrary number. We have old ass adults who still refuse to learn responsibility. So it's not helping in this conversation to keep going on about the law or one's feelings on who's responsibile.

A kid has to learn? No amount of learning beats a humans (which includes children) free will. You can't force a child to learn what they don't want to learn.

No amount of parenting beats free will. You can't force a child to learn if they don't want to. You can't force a child to take in a positive influence if they don't want to. You can't stop a child from being rebellious if they don't want to stop being rebellious.

Your post saying a parent is partially responsible is not based in facts. It's based in your feelings that children are these holy innocent creatures that a parent can partially control in the end.

All that text and its completely irrelevant since a refusal to learn/accept responsibility =/= responsibility magically stops existing for that person.

Im not pretending that kids are innocent. You guys are proposing that, since parents cannot always be held accountable, kids can do whatever and the blame apparently falls to no one since responsibility is just a word to you.
