probably, but it’s also one of those things others have alluded to, that growing up and leaving home / going to Uni is supposed to lead to independence, and is something I try not to interfere too much in. I’m here to give advice, but as eg: in this recent situation, she makes the calls and sorts it out.
It’s hard finding the right balance between texting your kids weekly to remind them to check their lights and tyre pressures, and letting them drive around in unroadworthy cars – not the same necessarily as ‘dangerous’ BTW. I’ve told her many times, but as any parent of kids of that age will know, it goes in one ear and out the other.
Straw poll, how often do we responsible adults actually do that?
