DA

When they go to a bank, or an office, or a doctor's appointment, or a meeting with a teacher, their mom does the talking, while they stand obediently in the corner waiting for things to be organized for them. Even those, who have university, pack up their laundry every week and bring it home so that mom can wash it for them.

OK, but this is really pathetic though. You're dealing with a very sheltered, privileged, and helicopter-parented subset of people that age. Sure, bank stuff can be esoteric but this is the age when they need to be learning how to do it. And if someone can get as far as college without knowing how to do laundry, their parents have failed them. It certainly isn't the norm among college students I've known. Plenty of 18-year-olds have jobs, relationships, their own place (probably with roommates unless they're rich)

There are 16 year olds with jobs and relationships, that doesn't mean their experience and way they process responsibilities is the same as that of middle-aged adults. I have yet to meet an 18 year old who doesn't strike me as very childish. Any middle-aged adult who walks up to them all "greeting fellow kids!" is embarrassing themselves.

AYRT (I think)

That's not my point though. That portrayal of all 18-year-olds as timid and ignorant overgrown children hiding behind their parents and unable to carry out basic hygiene tasks is so insulting to...young adults. If 18-year-olds are really that incapable of making decisions or doing basic life stuff, then we shouldn't let them vote or drive either. Obviously that's an indefensible position that I don't endorse.

I'm a middle-aged adult who has no interest whatsoever in sex with anyone under 30, so no ulterior motive here. There has to be an age where consent begins to respected, and consent includes the right to say YES.
