It’s not protective it’s controlling. Very different.

when my 13 year old daughter wanted to go to the mall with her friends I sent my 16 year old son with them, but when my daughter turned 15 she can go with her friends on their own, as long as we r in contact regularly..

my mom has this EXACT mindset and I cannot leave the house to go out with freinds unless its with my also 23 year old sister im 16 about to be a junior in highschool and she doesn't let me go out without her trailing behind us. I've never given her a reason to not trust her and she still won't let me leave without a leash. All my sisters have just told me to suck it up but for how many years?? i just want to be able to experience things without my family consistently with me

I’m the youngest of four and we all went to the same schools. It was impossible to get out from under their shadows. Teachers and staff decided their opinions on me the moment they heard my last name. You have to let your kid separate themselves from their siblings, it does have long term effects

Why do people say the video “glitches” when it’s new, everything is normal

Ok but as someone with a sibling who is their complete opposite, my sister wouldnt enjoy doing what I do now let alone when I was 16. I was a skater stoner and my sister was a dancer and academic. She likes Marvel I like DC, She likes Chic Fil A and I like Popeyes, She's Star Wars and im LOTR. My point being is if my friends stay true to the sentiment "Birds of a feather flock together" Then my sister wouldnt enjoy hanging around multiple of me if by myself I wasnt her cup of tea

I was hanging out with my friends after school when I was 10. Alone. In the city. I also went home alone using a tram and a trolley bus. Had my own key. When I was ill I'd be at home on my own and same goes for summer. We had a microwave, I could heat up my food, but I could also cook simple meals. At 10. At 16 I went with a group as an exchange student to Spain and we'd hang out without adults all the time. Even went clubbing and got drunk. Okay, it was a small town in Spain.

It's so hard for me not to helicopter because my parents were the opposite, I hardly remember them being anywhere with us kids or caring where we were. And now I have a son of my own and he is also special needs, I mostly encourage independence at home for now. We recently have been practicing walking by us without holding hands because he didn't want to hold hands anymore, he's 7 almost 8. So far so good kids need to know they have support if they need it but that they also have the confidence to be independent for their development.

Dad was, mom wasn’t. I had a friend that was close to me distant wise. My mom said if you’re going to drink you’re riding your bike 😂

I was the fifth kid in my small school, I was always x’s little sister. Early in 5th grade, my teacher mentioned that she had some of my sibs, and so she was looking forward to have me in class. Then a couple girls from my 2yrs older bro’s grade came in before the bell and were like “oh you’re Y’s little sister” and my teacher corrected them and said “A is her own person, not just Y’s sibling”. It mattered a lot that she noticed and made the effort to point that out to others.

I’m from PH, chaperones are required for us before when we are younger. Whether it’s my brothers or me, we are required chaperones if we go out until we’re 18. Am I missing something?

I had to go back and check the age. 17 is way to old to not have any independence.

As a coptered child I can definitely say almost into my 30s that the sheltering and “protection” my family did 1- didn’t actually keep me safer and in ways made me more prone to dangers, 2- stunted my social skills to a point that I developed anti social personality traits bleeding into adult simply because it was easier to never ever do anything than to try and get permission to be a person from parents

My job as a parent is to raise independent adults, ready to take on the world. Not to protect them from life.
