[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can tell which parents are raising their kids to be self-reliant, self-sufficient, and self-sustaining, and which parents, like OP, are invested in helicopter parenting and intervening in every little thing for their child for as long as they can because they can't get over their desire to control everything and make sure "it's done right."

Seek therapy, OP. Your kid can make a phone call and book an appointment. It's good practice for navigating normal life skills they will need as an adult.[/quote]

Making dr appointments for your teen is not going to produce a self sufficient adult.  If only it were that easy.

People grow up with help.  That did not harm my self sufficiency.   I helped dry the dishes because my mother hated dishwashers.   My mother has been self sufficient since she was sent to this country alone at 16 years old.   This was extreme and damaging.  There’s a middle ground. Plus every child has a different temperament.  It’s not a one size fits all. [/quote]
