[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2 years, sophomore DD will be in a perpetual sleepover with zero oversight from you. I wouldn’t fight this. [/quote] Hopefully your parenting skills are better than your math skills. In 2 years OP’s sophomore will be a senior living at home. Following this logic why don’t we all just stop bothering at the start of high school.[/quote] Your comprehension skills are worse than pp’s math skills, by far. The degree of independence is vastly different. One night sleepover under the same roof as the parents in sophomore year is a reasonable expectation in preparation to living independently in two and a half years when they go to college. Following this logic, teens need to be given an increasing degree of independence at the start of high school, and even earlier. If that gives you pause, it’s time to land the helicopter.[/quote]
