Throw them out

Sarah gives some excellent advice on turning your children into Adults via the college route,

…pick a college far away from home. For students, the most important thing about college is moving out of home. For parents, this is the excuse you need to get your adult children out of the house. Yes its scary for both parties. The cowardly youth fond of well stocked fridges has reason to squirm at the prospect of sour milk and days of toasted ham.
