Why do some parents not prepare the children to be independent?

Many parents are indeed under preparing their children for the world. When I was in college I experienced a male pouring bleach in with his colored clothing, I informed him that he was making a mistake and he got smart with me and told me "This is how my mother does it". Needless to say he was quite embarred as he pulled his clothing out of the washer afterwards. I think that some parents get so caught up in doing things their way and not showing their children how to do things, or even allowing them to do things because they want it done "their way" and also because they are too busy. It's much easier to make your child's bed , fold their clothes and put them away where you want them as opposed to having them do it and feeling like you have to go back and do it again, because they didn't do it correctly. Some parents don't take the time to show their children how to cook, or even allow the children to help in the kitchen, therefore Rameen noodles become a quick and easy college dish. I can remember when I first started washing and ironing my clothes. I did it because I wanted to learn how to do it myself, many children today don't want to learn to do things because it's much easier to have someone do it for them. Parents like doing things for their children and they don't think about how their children will be affected in the future, ultimately it will be a trial and error experience for many if not most.
