Ok. I understand that they teach you the basics, but when did you learn about credit, college, raising children, etiquette, how to get along with other people etc, cooking and do you still call your parents for advice after you leave home or do you just live and learn.. Do you remember one on one talks with your parents.. like about like your family history? Once you have children of your own are your parents no longer obligated to talk to you about life? Do you feel comfortable going to them about anything.

when you leave home you are beginning you life and some things you just have to learn on your own, but if you are having a rough time dealing with certain things in your life your parents are always there for you to give you much needed advice, whether it is advice on raising a child, your parents have already been through it and can give you good information on it, just because you have left home it is important to know that no matter what stage in your life you are in that your parents are always there for you and will be willing to listen to anything going on in your life that you may need advice on

It all depends on what your relationship is with your parents. Some people don't get along with their parents at all, and when they leave home they leave home. Others may find that the relationship changes from guardian to mentor.
You will learn some of those things on your own and some of them you will learn from your peers or your mate and some from your parents. As you grow older you may find that your parents know more than you thought they did.
Your parents are never obligated to "talk to you" about life but remember that they do have advice to give on raising children since they raised you.
I don't feel comfortable going to my parents about "anything" because I don't have that kind of relationship with my parents. I've never been comfortable coming to them for relationship advice or sexual advice, but I do come to them for advice financially and for things like "how much peanut butter do I put in this"
As I said, the best parent/child relationship grows into more of a friendship as your parent becomes a mentor to you instead of a guardian.

My parents did more good than harm for me. Earlier in life it may have appeared otherwise. Probably because I was scared and I didn't understand adult relationships, child-rearing and our family history. I have a much better understanding now. I no longer blame them for a lot of my behavior or the messes I got myself into. I am happy to say that my mother is much more involved in my life than she was before. She has changed, too. My father - like most dads - doesn't seem to think he should share in the responsibilities of raising a family. He is rarely in touch with us even though we're close by. But I just accept that for what it is. My mother is the one who has talks with me and helps me when I need it the most. She has become a friend. She accepts my wife is in my life and she doesn't judge us or wish me to be anything other than happy.

Once you are a parent you are always a parent. You should be able to still get help from you parents in the form of advice etc.
Just be careful not to become a sponge or become a boomerang kid ... always coming back to Mom and Dad.

i have no family history, i have my parents, wich i will always love very much, how can you set the limits for normal and how to do things? you can't becasue people are all different, you can't throw everything into a little perfect category, i know people who's had parents that they will never talk to again, all type of people in the world.

When I was 17 I thought my stepdad knew nothing.
By the time I was 23 I was amazed how much he learned.
Yeah, I still ask for advice. They ask me for advice sometimes too. It depends on the relationship. The key is to grow past the adult-child relationship you once had.

Truth be told, I don't trust or respect my parents, don't repeat that, but I don't tell tehm anything, when you get older you will probaly become closer with your parents, and they probably won't talk about family history though, they'll talk about current events.
