I read another article on this - this woman wanted ~$625....a WEEK from her parents right away. Ok...doing the math.....625 * 4 1/3 weeks in the average month = holy shit Batman, $2706 a month, or 32,500 / year. More than what MMM spends on his whole family.
Oh....as to those that imply that somehow 18 isn't an adult, I'll observe:
1) At 18, one signs up to vote without a parent being needed.
2) At 18, one can buy a rifle or shotgun (and the ammo to go with it) without a parent. One can also get a huntin' license as well.
3) At 18, one can sign enlistment papers for the military without notice or permission of the parent and those papers can put said person on the front lines, machine gun in hand in under a year.
4) At 18, one can get their own passport and travel the world without notice or permission of the parent.
5) At 18, one can sign a will, power of attorney or other binding contracts or papers without permission of or notice to a parent or guardian.
6) At 18 (yes, this is a sick one, but I mention it to show one is an adult on their 18th birthday and can do what is, IMO, stupid shit that has enormous, damaging consequences) one can go to "work" in the...ahem, adult entertainment business.
7) At 18 one can permanently scar their body (tattoo or cosmetic surgery) without permission of or notice to their parent.
She's an adult. Her parents obligations are done. I'll say it again - at 18, it's every parents right to put a boot to their kids asses.
I was smart...nay...I'll rephrase..... I wasn't so foolish as to piss off my parents when I turned 18 and was still living at home getting ready to go to college. Their home, their money, their rules. If I didn't like things, I could either suck it up and abide by them or pay my own way and set my own rules. I chose to suck it up for the things I didn't care too much for (which wasn't all that much since my folks were quite reasonable) since it was, in the calculus, well worth it.
