"Tengo una visión muy práctica de la crianza de los hijos. Pongo un cartel en cada una de sus habitaciones: La hora de salida es a los 18 años."
— Erma Bombeck
Simplified Meaning:
The speaker believes that raising children should prepare them to be independent by the time they are 18 years old. It's like running a hotel where guests know they have to leave at a certain time. This approach encourages kids to learn necessary life skills early on. For example, teaching them how to cook, manage money, and solve problems on their own. As they grow up, they become ready to handle life without relying on their parents all the time. This strategy helps children become responsible adults who can take care of themselves after they turn 18.
