One of my worst fears as a parent is that some day, when my child finally goes off into the world as a young adult, he won’t know a thing about taking care of himself! What if he doesn’t know how to budget?! What if he doesn’t know how to clean up his apartment?! How will he get a job?! What will he eat?!
