[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expect my kids to be able to function as adults by the time they are 17. They'll be adults in a year, so they should be able to hit the ground running. They would be highly offended if I tracked them. I raised them to be competent adults, and adults do not need to be micromanaged. My youngest of six is 16 now, and I pull way back at 16. I do not understand parents who do not let their kids be in charge of their own lives. You are handicapping them. My kids do not need me, which is as it should be. I have my life, they have theirs. They know how to get in touch with me if there is an emergency. [/quote] How are they not in charge of their lives in the scenario where they are simply expected to let you know their general plans and when they’ll be back? I think you’re teaching your kid to lack basic courtesy.[/quote]
