Now days,more and more children become coddle since childhood in China.I want to know if all western countries have the custom that when the children reach to some age,they will be send out !And what's the reason?
Coddle? That means "pampered". I don;t know what you're asking.

Welcome to A2K.
I'm sure in China that there are some parents who put up with freeloading kids: kids who don't want to work; kids who will work but want all their salary to spend on their own recreation; kids who can't find work but won't help out with chores around the house.
I'm also sure that there are some parents who refused to be imposed upon. They insist that their "adult" children find jobs and either move into independent living quarters or make a financial contribution to the parent's household.
Personally, I think that parents who coddle and indulge their children are not doing these children any favors.
