[quote=Anonymous]Totally true. So frustrating. Just look at that other thread where I said by first grade my kids walk to the bus stop by themselves and by third grade are definitely making their own lunches. Sometimes when my daughter is angry she'll ask to go to the park three blocks away and play tennis against the wall. I let her. I was once in a coffee shop and my DD wanted to go to a toy store two blocks away to buy something. I didn't want to go so I let her. She came back crying with some stranger following her who said to me "Your daughter was CRYING at the toy store ALONE." She was crying just because she didn't have enough money for the toy she wanted. But I was a terrible mother because I wasn't there to prevent her from getting upset. When I wasn't properly alarmed that DD had gotten upset, the woman immediately switched to "And she was ALONE - ANYTHING could have happened." You mean like a strange angry lady following her two blocks back to a coffee shop? [/quote]
