The combo of freedom and responsibility is the critical mix. My daughter does dinner every night and keeps the bathroom clean. I think she's had every chore there is at this point, so she will be perfectly able to go on her own whenever she's ready!

Freedom and Children
I think one of the failure kids experience is when they move out, there will be a lot of new tasks they must master! If they have done NONE of these tasks at home; the task hill will be much steeper. So the more they can master while home, the easier when they move out, and go: "WHAT do I need to do Now?"

Precisely. Having already mastered some skills will also help with their confidence to master others.

Yes, because they have the tools of how to approach a new problem; and the knowledge that they, personally, can handle these new problems!

That is critical to success in life! My Father taught me how to Think, critically, in a focussed manner. This has helped me on new concepts and design development, resulting in a couple of dozen patents; and they all should include him as an inventor!

We all stand on the shoulders of giants. You were lucky to have such a father. Critical thinking is so crucial and not taught at all in schools.

I began designing things when I was in grade school. He always treated the designs seriously, and shredded my designs like I was a degreed engineer! All I had to do was to out think the smartest MAN I had ever known, at ten years old! THAT WILL TEACH YOU TO THINK! I worked on a wrench, that I thought was the greatest thing since sliced bread. When I fixed all the problems, and I had a perfect wrench! I was so proud, until I was handed the identical wrench that had been in use for a century! But I had learned so very much from that process!
I make my living now, by out-thinking the in house Engineering, and solving problems they can't. MY Father Gave me this!

It's a wonderful thing to have a parent who pushes. That's the dads job! Encouragement and belief in our true abilities does great things for us.
