"我对养育孩子有非常实用的看法。我在每个孩子的房间里放了一个牌子:离开时间是18岁。"
— 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.
