You rise the child to become independent, where they move off and make their own family and the cycle continues. Keeping in touch afterwards is entirely optional. In fact the idea of moving farther away could be explained by an evolutionary need to prevent inbreeding. You're less likely to have sex with a member of your family if you move to the next town over or something.
so once your kid hits 18 that's it? So you are like a bird or a bear with no contact with your off spring or it's off spring ever again? or are you like everyone else who wants to have the 'picture book' family?
Evolution is at odds with our family structure. to keep a pack of genetically incompatiable people around who do nothing other than drain resources does not follow the darwinnian model of the survival of the fittest.
My parents do not demand constant contact from me. I talk to them when I want, and otherwise live my life on my own as they have succeeded in making me independent. I do not consult them in my day to day life.
