That Cinderella (the band) story is wild 😅. I went to a few metal band concerts in the 80s myself. Can't believe my mom dropped me off at that age and drove away.
Different times! Safetyism came next in the culture for a reason. Sure, some aspects might've gone too far, but today's discussion sometimes romanticizes the "free-range past" as wholly wholesome with tough (but good) lessons learned. I would absolutely do a lot of my helicopter parenting again. Some things, though, I'm rethinking—because I'm starting to hear my older kids share their versions of "I can't believe my mom did/didn't/said …"
We're all just doing the best we can and need support and grace ❤️
