When will I know I've succeeded raising my kids right?
I don't have a clue, really. But one quote that I recently read provides at least a beginning foundation upon which I can define some goals:
"Psychologically I should say that a person becomes an adult at the point when he produces more than he consumes or earns more than he spends. This may be a the age of eighteen, twenty-five, or thirty-five. Some people remain unproductive and dependent children forever and therefore intellectually and emotionally immature.” - Henry Link
