Penny Ah, parents.....they think they have it all figured out. 😊 lol  Yes  we  try  to  raise self sufficient children,  then are agast when they  think and  act  for themselves instead  of blindly doing  what  we  tell them. AAAAAnd  there  are  no instruction books handbooks included at birth for  raising  them.

I used that same argument with my neighbor's parents. They were afraid to leave the kids with me since I have no kids. I told them that giving birth didn't give you any care taking abilities and that I had 15 years of experience being responsible for friends and family's children, making me more experienced than their son. So they went home and left me with the babies.....and I called my husband to come across the street and change a poopy diaper. 😜

My mother still pulls that crap telling me not to do something. And I'm like "I'm almost 42 years old! I'll do what I want." LOL
