[quote=Anonymous]I understand what you're saying OP. We have "friends" who abuse alcohol...they clearly have issues. Both their sons are always incredibly well-behaved and excel in school and I've always felt like they were so well-behaved because they have to be...their parents are always out of it. I could write more but basically there are definitely families out there like you describe and I feel for those kids. But, I don't think all mature and independent kids necessarily have absentee parents. 21:58 and I sound like we have similar children. My son is 10 and is very mature and responsible. I'd like to think it's because my Dh and I have found the sweet spot between being too hands-off and helicoptering but we can't take full credit. His innate personality definitely plays a role and I also think some of his responsibility comes from the fact that he's an anxious kid by nature (anxiety runs in our family). [/quote]
