[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I too struggle with this. 
I keep telling myself that i’m doing my senior a disservice if I hover, helicopter etc… 
She’s mature and gets she’s now pretty much in-charge of her life.

My younger teen - a boy - is a totally different animal. I can’t imagine doing a post where I say yes - Johnny is mature and in-charge of his life - anytime soon[/quote]

I feel like when I don't meddle, they are fine 90% of the time, but the 10% can be very bad. For instance last year in the fall, I was letting ds be in charge of after school band rehearsals...He didn't go to several (not on purpose, just didn't look at calendar) and got a zero! So I started just keeping track for him. This year with college, I am finding that he has done a lot, but he was telling me that he wasn't going to write the optional essay for his top choice. I looked that up today and it says it is "strongly advised" to write it. So I am going to nag about it. It's a very uncomfortable spot and like taking several step backs in terms of how I parent. In younger grades I did less than I did now, but the stakes were lower. [/quote]
