Teaching your children responsibility is one of the backbones of parenting. Why, then, is it so difficult to know how much is too much, and how soon is too soon? Sometimes the hardest thing for an adult to do is to let their child grow up.
My son is starting high school ... like ... now. He is two months from being a teenager. What sort of internal monologue does this create for me? “It means he is three years from a driver’s licence; a year or two from his first real broken heart; five years from his first legal drink; and oh, I don’t know, some yet-to-be-determined amount of time from marriage ... and kids ... and forgetting to call his father.” Never mind whether he can handle his adolescence; can I?
