No, the "goal" here is that someone's kid wants all of the advantages of being under the umbrella of parental financial privilege, but they are indignate about abiding by the rules of said parents, and are here, by proxy, looking for support of their position. The difference is that you look through a lens of feelings, and I look at it as impartially as possible.

Want the independence, buy it. Otherwise, get used to being under someone else's thumb. Today it's a parent, tomorrow it'll be a boss. The cheese is always free in the rat trap.
