My Daughter Is Learning Life Lessons At Twenty One

We all know our kids are going to grow up, drive to friends' houses, where we can't see or hear what they're saying, go to clubs where we can't see how they are acting, or deal with friends' parents, and not see how respectful they are.
They are going to get jobs where we will not be able to see how well they do, or what their working habits are. Are they going to do as they were taught? It wasn't like this five years ago. She was in school, nothing to worry about but passing, and working a few hours after school.
There's so much we parents have already gone through, and now have to sit back and watch our children go through. however, if we don't, and something should happen to us, how will they make out then? I'd rather be around to guide and nurture, even if from afar.

The hardest thing for me is to allow him to fail so that he does learn those life lessons. I don't know about your kid but mine didn't come with an owners manual.Please log in to respond to this comment.
