By the time I was 34 if my Dad said that to me I would just laugh at him. Do they still live in your basement or are they self sufficient adults? By the time I was that age I was married for ten years, had children, a job, owned my own hime and was actually responsible for my own decisions. My Dad, who I respected tremendously, likewise respected me and allowed me to make my own decisions when I was an adult. He gave me advice but would never have threatened to beat me up if I didn't take his advice.

You sound like a great guy but thankfully most Dads want their kids to experience life and thank goodness they do. Extending your logic to every father means we would never have anyone join the military, we would have to put an end to all sports, sell our boats, drain the lake, no kid would ever become a pilot, everyone would need to park their cars and walk to unnecessary activities, etc. These are all totally unnecessary activities that entail a certain amount of risk. For some reason you are fixated only on the risk of jumping off of a rock while being willing to accept all sort of other risks for children and then telling those of us that we allow them to jump off the rock that we are being irresponsible. Sorry but that makes no sense to me.
