Yeah, isn’t it weird that the very folks who spent uncounted hours out of the protective purvey of their parents and many who essentially raised themselves (me and my sibs, too), are now helicoptering – or at least determined to not allow the same level of independence that they themselves enjoyed? And I do mean, enjoyed! ;-)

Don’t do what I did even though I loved every minute of it and don’t regret it for a second?? That’s a hard sell…but it seems to be part of the zeitgeist. Maybe these kids don’t have a frame of reference for what it was like and can’t call us on it??
