the ones i can think of are too offensive to write on here

"Thanks for the last 18 years of unfettered care, money, effort and patience but I am now leaving home, will only return (regularly) to express my continued love and thanks for my family and will not continue to leach you dry at every opportunity."
that flies in the face of the advice I was given by our elderly austrian neighbour when I was leaving home - he told me "Stay in education for as long as your parents will support you. Then retire....Thats what I did." a while later he told me "When your dad asks you what you want for Christmas tell him firmly 'Dad, I want your car'."
If he's still alive he'll be local to you - I can send him round to do a bit of motivational speaking 🙂

More the concept than the phrase.
