“Parents today have to look after their kids more than ever!” says family finance company
The mummy returns: Are over protective mothers raising reliant children?
Over-anxious, too involved and unable to cut the cord – parents are creating a generation of smothered, helpless and indulged young adults. Meet the Marsupial Mum…
HAVE you noticed how helpless the average 20-something is these days? Never mind the bank of mum and dad, it’s the hotel, the restaurant, the clinic, the financial consultancy, the taxi firm, the careers advice centre, the 24-hour plumbing, electrical and laundry service of mum and dad.
Now that we’re all having to be responsible for our children for longer than ever, won’t this mean bigger bills than ever before? How ever are we going to cope with that?
And that can’t be right, can it? A recent study by Sainsbury’s Finance confirmed an alarming lack of life skills among young adults.
Ah, right, yes – that’s how.
