And I can't imagine how I would feel if I was a very young woman in another country, and had the sense that my parents did not care what I was up to.

My mom could never wait to hear from me when I was overseas. She wanted every detail (what I wore, what I ate). She reminded me of how to stay safe. It made me feel loved.

You seem very literal.

Sorry if you don’t like how you come across when your words are quoted back to you.

omg. No one is saying they don't care about what their kids do in general, people are saying that they wouldn't care (or even know) if their kid skipped class to do something as cool as going to Italy for a weekend.

A mother who needed "every detail" of what I wore and ate while abroad would drive me insane, sorry.
