my update
recently I talked with friend of mine we used to always see each other at our kids recreational basketball games. Now as kids have all grown up & teenagers. I see all of us parents are suddenly getting wisdom to back off & let kids make their own mistakes & learn from it. Before I used to feel oh I m so hands off parent compared to some others parents & I used to equate myself as not as good parent as they were. I guess my son started rebelling before theirs did lol. But I do see he is learning from his own mistakes. luckily so far his mistakes are not catastrophic, its more like missing deadline to some fun events lol. So this year he has been correcting it himself lol. So I guess finally we all parents learn to let go & realize we don't have control on everything, & allow them to fly on their own instead of trying to be helicopter parent lol. My hubby thinks I have tendency to worry & he is completely hands off. I feel that balances out since I make sure by worrying & nagging things get done & if it gets done I am happy & if he still misses it then we get hubby's positive outlook to get me out of angry mood, though atleast I don't suffer from guilt of not doing my duty. So I thank god we as parent unit are very strong
