I have so much to say about this. My best unsolicited advice is to quit making rules you know you can’t enforce. Also a little less surveillance and more frank honest conversations you think your kids are too young for. I’m mostly glad I did these things the way I did. I have regrets for sure though

And also she did crazy stuff I didn’t know about until she shared later. But she is still the friend who has narcan in her purse all the times More her than my parenting. I think parents take too much credit and blame. But I’m lucky I have a solid relationship her and I think respecting her helped

+1 on the 'parents take too much credit and blame'. Great quote i heard recently - Parents nowadays are willing to do anything for their child except let them be their own person. Was so much easier in my parents gen when they really got on with their own lives and just said 'stay in school and get good grades'.
