[quote=Anonymous]I agree with you, OP. I'm a Gen Xer (so, older mom) and I do observe this unhealthy, reflective behavior in too many moms, many of them in their 30s and early 40s. I never post photos of my kids on social media or talk about them, because I want them to be able to write their own narratives someday. I'm leaving them as blank pages, on purpose. My job as a mom is to help my kids (now teens) develop who THEY are, different and independent from me. You either give them that freedom as teens, or they'll take it from you. Your choice. Parenting is a process of slowly letting go until they can fly away on their own.[/quote]
