My parents didnt have to threaten me or move out to get things done. Even though I went to school 4 hours away for my junior and senior year, I was still expected to help out around the house when I was home and even before I got in high school. My parents would take away my car and insurance or license if I were to refuse to help them out. I was always taught that I had to help out around the house and as long as I lived in my parents house I had to abide by their rules. I didnt always do this but I knew there were consequences. Have these people raised their kids so that they have to take such drastic measures as moving out to get things done? Personally I think its sad that they had to go to this extreme.
I even remember helping my dad with welding jobs when I was a kid. I wasnt old enough yet to run a grinder or to do anything technical, but I could get him rods and run to get whatever tool he needed. Once I got older I was expected to help him out, and I did. Why? Because I knew if I didnt I would have no car, no money, and would have to stay at home all the time just to do more work. It has helped me greatly and I wish these kids would learn that doing work on their own and washing their own clothes will help them later in life.
