[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, it was negligent. You need to make your own back-up plans with your child.[/quote]Right, because never trust anyone. Insert yourself everywhere. Helicopter. Geez, that's the parent I've been trying NOT to be.[/quote] OK, but it didn't work. You discovered that you did need a back-up plan. And now you have one. That's good![/quote] Embedded in your statement about not wanting to "helicopter" is that you care what others think of you. To heck with what other's think of you! Your child's well-being is of utmost importance, not your reputation on an anonymous parenting forum! I also think "helicoptering" applies to ages nine and up. i think its perfectly appropriate to helicopter, that is, be your child's #1 body guard when they are young. At the same time, you should be preparing them for becoming more independent by talking to them about how to deal with emergencies, as you are now doing, OP. [/quote]
