About This Quote

It was a bitter moment for us. We weren't two mature parents. We were just two kids playing grown-up. We still needed Mommy and Daddy's permission, blessings, and money to survive.

This quote captures the way that many parents feel when they are teenagers and living on their own. Teenagers have a tendency to want to be independent from their parents. They want to live on their own without parental guidance and sometimes even without parental support.

Parents feel a blend of pride and anger when their children have achieved so much without being able to continue the process without their help.
