A few days ago I did something you’re not supposed to do on social media: I changed my mind about something. In particular, I had a change of heart on an issue that’s very contentious for millions of people. I wrote that, while I used to be in the camp that said you should kick your kids out of the house at 18, in order to force them to live independently and make their own way in the world, I don’t feel that way anymore. As I’ve grown older, and had kids of my own, I’ve come to see things differently.
My preference now is for all of my children to live with us until they’re married. And even after they’re married, if they want to live on our property, or close by, my wife and I would be very much in favor of that. My goal now is to establish basically a family compound where everyone can live, if they want to. I’m not going to force my children to do so, once their adults. But it’s my strong preference, because I actually like my kids. I enjoy being around them. I think keeping a family together is important. I want to be close by to help them when they have kids of their own one day.
